What if the auction houses changed their payments to authenticators and paid them a percentage of the sale price???

Imagine that. The below auction ended this morning. It was a "Dutch" auction of 2. They each sold for $3.00.

No doubt they overpaid

maybe the buying public is getting a bit smarter than we give them credit for?

I would love to hear "Clown Boy Moral Less" the Forensic Butchers answer to what is it in these Mantle signatures makes him think they're authentic? It is just crystal clear these are horrid fakes to an average collector yet Bozo the forensic butcher gets it wrong EVERYTIME?

Compare @ $3.00... Now that has a nice ring to it.

Even he can't be that stupid. He is rubberstamping everything that comes his way probably. Just a pathetic display, and anyone that buys them is just as bad

That does have a nice ring to it.

"Forensic Butcher" is good, too.

Not that I'm an expert or anything, but I know enough about Mantle that even I can comfortably say that those are absolutely ridiculous.. Now how can this so-called forensic expert authenticate those with a straight face? There is absolutely no authentication or examination with him. His COA might as well just say "Yeah, I looked at this." He should open up a drive-thru...What a f*cking clown....

Maybe all of his exemplars are fakes?
