I was so disappointed when I heard this story.<br /><br />Snorting Bull - Hopefully Tristar will bounce back and fix this issue. I just saw a video on Hauls of Shame and the problem is definitely not isolated to Tristar. A very similar situation occurred with JSA at a show.<br /><br />Zippy - Great site. Every autograph collector should check it out.<br /><br />unclemoe/shoeboxlegends/Daniel Wilson - You're welcome. Thought it needed to be shared with other autograph collectors.<br /><br />Matt - It's a shame, because I honestly felt like the autograph industry was bouncing back from the whole "Operation Bullpen" case.<br /><br />Mark - Like I told my friend... I'm surprised that these people are able to sleep at night.<br /><br />Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-662024318442488582015-08-16T07:15:55.428-07:002015-08-16T07:15:55.428-07:00Thanks for sharing Fuji!

I just got back from the Tristar National show and even had a conversation in line with a man about this exact topic. The sad thing is that it's not just Tristar, events with PSA and JSA do the same thing. You actually don't even need to bring the "real" items to a different authenticator. These companies don't require you to show an autograph ticket so you could hypothetically get all 4 items authenticated at once even if you only bought 2 autograph tickets. It's a shame.Matt C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02256150814172977875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-37359679270914482712015-08-15T19:49:23.185-07:002015-08-15T19:49:23.185-07:00I wish I could say I was surprised, but this hobby...I wish I could say I was surprised, but this hobby seems to attract those looking to make a quick buck by scamming others. Of course the issue of collectors blindly trusting COA's that aren't worth the paper they're printed on is something that goes back at least to the early 90's.

Hauls of Shame and several other parties have brought up countless instances where the authenticators are pretty unreliable and have let unauthentic pieces pass.<br /><br />Then again, it's usually just dollar with the big names like your example, Buster Posey. Hence why I steer clear of the notable all stars and prolific players and lean towards the spare parts on the roster who not even diehard fans can recall three years later.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-42274683077314656162015-08-15T18:51:33.449-07:002015-08-15T18:51:33.449-07:00I gave up on Tristar long ago.

That's not a lot. I'm a cynic, though, and stories like this one about the scamming going on are ones that keep me cynical. <br /><br />To be fair, it's a big reason why I just don't care about autographs. I'd rather get them myself -- if I'm going to get them at all.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.com
