Quick question? Is VSA auctions run by Steve Jensen, the same person that was found guilty of fraud by the FBI a few years ago? If this is the case, why would anyone bid on items or authenticate items from this auction house. If I am mistaken about this connection can someone please let me know.

You are 100% correct about VSA and Jensen.

Please know that Vintage Sports Authentics and Steve Jensen made a wise move in bringing Dave Miedema on board for authentication.........or would you rather he resurrected Lou Lampson for the job?

Phil:

The public PC that I'm working on (home PC gave out) isn't showing me any of the recent posts on this thread. Did you get the last email?

Dave M.

[sox83cubs84]

Making this post just allowed me to view the last few. I'll try the other one. Thanks.

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.

A lot of people ask what's wrong lately with the forum and this post is the perfect example of part of the problem. One guy questions some items and then all we get is few days of banter going back and fourth about how hard it is to receive emails from each other. It would have been nice and educational for us if you guys would have shared some details. Bottom line is that after some initial questions about a few PSA certified items all we got was back pedaling with a few kisses blown in Daves direction.
