Ive been reading this for a hot minute now, i kinda understand what everyones yelling about, but what should be done in your opinion travis?
Like a few others have mentioned, for those of us just getting into the hobby TPA are pretty good. Sure they aren't fail proof and i understand that i should do some simple checking around, but with my lack of knowledge and limited are there any other alternatives out there?

It seems that there are many who have issues with PSA/DNA

http://www.autographnewslive.com/19-...rs-have-to-say

My suggestion as to who to believe?

Pert near everyone...

Travis should go right ahead and keep doing what he does!
Christopher Williams also.

...and certainly don't put anyone or any organization on a pedestal (Big mistake!).

Travis used his Name over at Autograph Magazine Live and where has that gotten him? Was he a coward? What role does he hold at AML now?

There was a time Christopher Williams did NOT Identify himself with his name at AML..., what has that done for him?

Fox News, MSNBC, CNN who do you trust for your news?

Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite, Hearst Newspapers?

The Internet?

Seems some do.

I just want to tell you that I agree with this line of your post. And that it is the only line of your post that I completely understand.

exactly right, i posted my name at aml, always blogged under my own name, what a coward , huh?

it got me banned, when people who won't tell anyone their real name blog away and chris williams doesnt care and doesnt demand they identify themselves.

but at autographnewslive, where you get the unvarnished truth, now all of the sudden this anonymous blogging is a problem. why?

everyone i know has seen this email by now and has had access to it for quite awhile. he did say what he said, that they suck. if you havent seen the email by now, what can i tell you?

5900 hits, this article must have been something people wanted to read but the mainstream collectors media outlets have been unable or unwilling to report on. that is why autographnewslive is important, to tell the stories others are unwilling to tell.

it broke the al pacino-al ruddy story pawn stars story and many more.

news flash, tpa are NOT pretty good, the two in question anyway.

the alternative is to know what you are buying. ask real professionals, long time dealers and collectors and not some guy sitting behind a desk who doesnt even know mickey walker, doesnt know john l sullivan, doesnt know james corbett, doesnt know, james jeffries, doesnt know jack johnson, doesnt now jack dempsey, doesnt know joe louis, doesnt know rocky marciano, doesn't know sonny liston, doesnt know muhammad ali, doesnt know evender holyfield, doesnt know marvin hagler, doesnt know battling nelson, doesnt know lius firpo. you say they are pretty good, gotta be kidding me.

You have convinced me that they are not pretty good in boxing. I don't collect boxing. Have never bought or even considered a single auto.

I collect baseball, and think they are pretty good (not perfect or infallible) in baseball. Don't know what else to say.
