They are Coaches Corner, not just the authenticators for them. I'll leave it at that.

Here is what the letter says:

"Signatures - Jackie Robinson on barrel
Verification - There are no patently obvious defects and the autograph falls within the parameters of established exemplars. It is therefore our considered opinion that this item likely contains a valid signature and the weight of critical analysis and evidence in support of this conclusion would favor this as authentic"...

skip ahead

... "Stat Athentic LLC and its partners/employees does not guarantee the accruacy of our opinion"...

skip ahead

..."We have reviewed this item and the signature illustrates generally the overall known writing habits and characteristics of the signor."

So basically they are saying "well it looks close so it must be real but don't blame us if it isn't."

And then there is this Dizzy Dean signature.

That is the worse Dean I have ever seen.

And the Robinson bat will sell sooner rather than later because as soon as someone sends it to PSA Quick Opinion, it will be removed. Whether they are "holding hands" with ebay or not, at least they get it right.
