Sounds very reasonable and intelligent to me.

Nobody has said anything about who the loa is NOT from. Please don't spin this off into another this guy vs. abc vs. fde debate.

If you think that it is reasonable and intelligent to take the word of a signature authenticator who can't spell signature, you're certainly welcome to spend your money how you like.

Personally, whether the signature is legit or not, I think the seller would have been better off leaving that particular loa out of the photos, as I can't see any collector who is on the fence about whether the sig is legit looking at that LOA and saying, "Okay, that clinches it for me, I'm in."

Since the original listing has been removed, here is the LOA being referred to:

A sales receipt can be good documentation. Depends on who it's from.
