I can't give an opinion on a non sport item as I don't collect much of it, but the item may in fact be good and you got a bad "opinion" to begin with. There will always be disagreements even between knowledgeable people and the only way to know something is truely authentic is to see it signed for yourself. When you rely on someone else's opinion to tell you if it's good or bad, then you sometimes get the short end of the stick.

I have had it happen the opposite way. In 2004ish, I sold a Jackie Robinson signed item on ebay. The person paid and then just before I shipped wrote me back that the quick opinion came back "likely not genuine." I refunded his money and cancelled the sale without issue. A couple months later, I took it to a show in Ft Washington. The dealer who ended up buying it, walked it, along with a few other things, over to PSA's booth and within 5min came back with their seal of approval. That opinion cost me around $100.
To Richard's point, unfortunately it isn't just the quick opinion that is shrouded in mystery. When you send an item in, you have no idea who examined it a gave the final opinion. All those PSA letters have 6-8 signatures at the bottom. Which one of them was responsible for your item? Nothing. All of JSA's letters have Spence's name at the bottom, but in my mind, there is no way he reviewed each item and gave the final opinion. If a specific specialist reviewed your item, why not have their name on the bottom of the letter?

It is absurd that the COA does not include the name of the person who actually EXAMINED the item. Having Joe Orlando's facsimile signature on a COA does not exactly inspire confidence. (if in fact he still has his facsimile on their COA's).
