Same here...He ripped me off on Net54 after a few others vouched for the authenticity of the Walter Payton signature...

The Payton autos he has look good to me. That�s why I don�t offer my opinion on autographs. I don�t want my opinion to affect someone financially - either by buying or not buying an autograph. I am not qualified to do so.
In this market with so much authenticated stuff out there, you have to purchase it certified - at least anything over $100. When I opened my store, I took everything with an autograph to a tpa and had it certified. Then I got rid of the stuff that would not pass. Before I sell an item it is tpa authenticated. I don�t want the bad karma of selling fake stuff.
The main reason you would buy a piece raw is to save money - but that�s a big gamble. Sure, a certified Payton rc is big bucks if you can find one. His was probably much less and buyers have to question why - the same with those who buy 1952 mantles for $500 or less. This particular seller has a ton of certified stuff - then a few pieces (the biggest ones) not certified. The only reason I can think is that they won�t pass.

I am thankful for the help from all here. After trying many years, I am just not good at authenticating. My personal buying "pain point" is $200. Maybe $600 is "chump change" for this buyer.

My next big purchase above my "pain point" will be a Ty Cobb cut. You can bet I will be begging for input from this forum before I would buy. I don't care if it has a good TPA or not. :-)

These guys are pretty good. They have made a lot of money selling forgeries with the major uptick in signed cards over the last few years. This is a pretty good Alzado that someone is going to get burned on. They have SO many more victims out there. All I hope to do with these comments is save one NET54 er from getting burnt. Happy Thanksgiving.

More "Authentication" from CAS. You have been told many times this guy is a forger, yet it continues.

He just sold a Walt Bond 64 Topps for 230, a Don Wilson 1974 Topps and then relisted another on his burner account abimagu_0. Total dirt bag.

Ouch, I did not realize... Points well taken. Sickening.

I'm from the So Cal SFV area.
