Forgery

[Klrdds]

Good eye on catching that. The Mantle is awful, a very poor forgery !!! It doesn't surprise me that PSA has screwed up again the question is will it get pulled and will PSA and that idiot Grad admit they screwed up. Pre approved or not.

I doubt very much if PSA authenticated that.

It's one of those Pre-Certs. PSA does not do Pre-Certs.

Shelly, with all due respect, just because Heritage writes "Pre-Certified" by PSA doesn't mean that PSA "Pre-Certified" it.

Chris,

Sorry but you are wrong on this one.
RR Auctions is almost totally pre-certed by PSA.
The pre-cert is listed on most of the pages of RR Auctions.
I have been a bidder and consignor with RR and I know that PSA has been doing that for many years for RR.

The more I read about PSA the more I dislike them.

And to think, there was nothing but a huge line up at the National for their "Expertise"

Their marketing department is second to none. That and so many have so much invested in their magic plastic slabs they just make excuses for anything bad, some are very funny to read.

That is one of the most forged photos out there. By my count, I have seen maybe 10 forgeries on it for every genuine one. I would think that Heritage would be especially cautious with that one in particular

It allegedly had a PSA Pre Cert, why be cautious?
Though I do find it hard to believe that PSA actually looked at this item.
But some poor collector, who cannot think for himself, was prepared to pay $260 for it,,, must have been one of those Kool Aid drinkers.

Based on what I have seen I too would say this is a multi forged photo. Looks like Mr Marino sold these by the hundreds.
