After speaking with Dave i have grown to respect the authentication process and how tricky it can be. Many factors play a part. Unlike us collectors who can spend hours looking for that photo-match, the people who authenticate do not have hours to spend on that one item when they have 500 other items or more to authenticate. We also do not see or know how many got rejected.

I just want to close out this thread by saying i have communicated my finding's with Dave. Dave addressed mine and others issues and i am sure will take the appropriate actions.

I have called out a few authenticator's before and Dave was the only one that communicates and actually addresses concerns. That says alot about a person's character.
