Gee, I watched TV when 2 of James Spence's "authenticators" looked stupid calling a fake auto real. Everyone still thinks spence is ok. As far as I'm concerned none of these guys give a positive id to any of this stuff. Only an opinion. You know what. I can do that to. It's all bologna. Theres tons of stuff out there that has been called good by all of them that is probably fake. The whole thing is a joke. So who is to say with certainty that one is good and one is bad. NO ONE>

Shelly Jaffe has certainly done a lot of good for the hobby in the past years.
I agree with most of his autograph opinions. I do not agree with many of the autograph opinions I have seen of Mr Garo. Last edited by RichardSimon; 06-09-2009 at 05:44 PM.

I have never seen anything "authenticated" by Garo that wasn't manifestly bad.
His opinion is not respected at all (and rightly so), and thus his authentication will neither protect you, nor help with a future re-sale. Last edited by David Atkatz; 06-09-2009 at 06:19 PM. Reason: typo

Hi-
The key to me with any authenticator is using actual exemplars of signatures. Martin, most of us on this board trust David A (for early Yankees and other early baseball material), Richard Simon, and Jodi B based on their extensive knowledge (shared frequently on this board) and because of their enormous libraries and collections. If you want us to trust this guy, we need to know a lot more about him. Does he have an extensive collection (or library) of autograph examples? Could you (or he) provide examples of some items he has authenticated? Richard, Jodi, and David have proven their knowledge and expertise with countless posts on Net54. I completely trust their opinions based on the knowledge they have provided. I (and many others on this board) have never heard of Frank, and the ones that have (whom I trust), do not have the highest opinion of him. That is enough for me to make up my mind unless this person can back up his knowledge (like the three I mentioned). This of course is just my opinion.
