So I guess JSA got it right. You have to call it both ways.

You gotta be kidding me, first off, he never said he sent it in, just that jsa wanted 150 to look at it.

both psa and jsa certed these wife signed as good for many years, and it was only until some hobbyists in the boxing autograph world like myself and others started notifying the auction houses that these were bad and wife signed did the certification of these phony liston's stop.

But just last year psa certed a wife signed liston wtih Grad signing off on it so what is the deal with that? They didnt even learn nor care. Spence doesnt know boxing, Grad doesn't know boxing. IF they knew boxing, we wouldn't be able to show you dozens upon dozens of stupid errors that they have made and keep making.

They don't know liston's autograph at all so i give them no credit whatsoever.

And as for the word corrupt goes, both psa and jsa certed a tom sayers autograph from the late 1880's as good, but it got pulled from auction after they got caught with no exemplars on which to make their certification. Then the certs went away. So define the word corrupt and see if it applies in this case. If it doesn't then show the exemplars they used especially since the certs say specifically that the autograph matches exemplars we have encountered in the hobby.

THEY can't have it both ways.
