Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share a recent very postive experience I had with MEARS so that anyone (like myself) who had not previously had an item authenticated and graded by them might be interested in doing so.
As many of you know, I recently acquired a 1907-08 Spalding Autograph Ty Cobb bat with hand turned ends which proved to be a very early Ty Cobb professional model game bat.
I emailed Troy around 7 p.m. on Monday night January 22nd and was able to set up an appointment for the very next day (Tuesday the 23rd) at noon where I didn't have to mail it in, and was able to get the examination done and take the bat home with me all in the same day. I just drove to Milwaukee and was there while Dave Bushing examined and graded the bat.
I'd like to publicly commend Dave, Troy, and those working for MEARS for the quick response and the way they took time out to get me in on such short notice.
After being sort of on the fence about authentication in general I now have to say that I'm all for it and was quite impressed with the operation. In the future I will have no doubts about doing the same thing and would readily contact MEARS again if I needed work done.
