Ty Cobb auto - Real or Fake, Need help!

[chaddurbin]

richard should do a "quick opinion" style like psa for a minimal cost. there are alot of uncerted signed items i see everyday that i'm kinda unsure about and i think would be great if i could get a quick opinion from richard. maybe not the high end or rare stuff that would cut into his bottom line, but the more common autos in the $50-$200 range to get his expertise.

Casey,
My apologies if I jumped to any conclusions. I assumed that you had found and contacted Richard through the site rather than independently. Seems that was not the case, so I'll step back out of the discussion and continue chewing on my foot rather than running off new members

Hey no worries! I called Richard because I believe he had some good information on his site dealing with forgeries, seemed good. BTW, he is out of New York?

[perezfan]

I think it's legit. I have seen many authentic examples with the paraph exactly like that. FWIW, my vote is "good".

[Scott Garner]

My first impression was that it's good as well.
I don't collect Cobb signatures, but I've seen a lot of good examples through the years that compare favorably with yours Casey.

Come Rich, cut him some slack. He's just trying to educate himself which is exactly what we all talk about, and you are our guru. Cut the new guy some slack.

thats as real as it gets if you ask me.

I do agree it would be nice to have another choice for a quick opinion other than PSA, I know I would be more inclined to purchase autographs if so.

How does one use PSA Quick Opinion if an autograph IS NOT at an auction house??? The drop down menu only shows a myriad of auction houses!!

One concern I have with Quick Opinion is, you're basically alerting someone to a possible great deal. Whoever is on the other end of the Quick Opinion could see the item in question and decide to go after it themself.

Or maybe I'm paranoid.
