With problems in JSA and PSA appearing regularly do you think we are going to have more auction sites really solely on independent authenticators such as Stinson, Simon, Keating and Albersheim?

Maybe my next call will be from Heritage

The condescension here is not pretty. I know several 'younguns' who are extremely knowledgeable about the hobby. Like Brian Dwyer from REA. I don't know these two but I won't condemn them on appearances.

Also, the posts here assume that they are authenticating on site. I've seen JSA in action in settings like this and anything complex or obscure is taken back for review at the office.

yeah but people have heard of brian dwyer, is he autographs by the way? thats a different ballgame.

nobody heard of these guys, ever. people dont just pop up out of the blue, and now they are world class autograph authenticators doing all genres and categories?

Age should not be a factor Luis Armstrong was considered a prodigy at 11 and could not read music, Ernest Hemingway began writing the great American Novel "The Sun Also Rises" at age 25 , Chopin composed his best music prior to age 20 , And Mozart composed and performed to critical acclaim at the age of 5,
So we may be seeing today's autograph prodigy's at work , Dual signed photos available at the door ..$100.00

Adam,
I would appreciate knowing which knowledgeable younguns do you know of in the autograph hobby.

I am the youngest guy doing boxing I know of and I am 45, and that is just one discipline, not 40 disciplines like a booth at a show would expect to be able to handle.

headless Sandy
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sandy-Koufax...item35eda7c100

[RichardSimon]

Nothing to do with the thread but:
That headless Sandy is a bargain compared to this beauty.
$199.99 Buy It Now, with a best offer.
I might pay 99 cents but not much more.
Not questioning the authenticity just the ugliness of the piece.
