James Spence's "Lifetime Guarantee"

Re: James Spence's "Lifetime Guarantee"

Here is an experience I had with a Casey Stengel signed, game used autographed baseball which was authenticated by James Spence and sold by James Spence to the person who sold it to me. It came with a lifetime guarantee FROM JAMES SPENCE. It was subsequently sent to JSA who rejected it.
My story is here.

Eric,

Seems like something is missing here. You mentioned Mark Jordan in your story as also authenticating the ball, but nothing more. I am curious to hear his claims about the legitimacy of the signature. Is there a copy of his authentication of the ball, or is the only reference to him contained in the COA from Steve Milwich?

UPDATE: Just had a very good conversation with Jimmy Spence who agreed to honor his lifetime guarantee & refund my money. Thank you Jimmy.

Congrats Eric. You put some good pressure on him/them to do the right thing.

You would hope they'd do the same for anybody that had their COA/Guarantee but somehow I still think it's a case of the "squeaky wheel gets the grease" and you got on them.

I think he must be unavailable. He emailed me on the 20th asking for details about the football I described, I emailed back that same day and then nothing but silence. Same experience with a forum member on Net54, so I think the curiosity was more like someone driving by a car-wreck than anyone with real advice. Don't you love the internet.

At the summer Rosemont show, I was told that Jordan had been in a serious auto accident and, while he survived,, his injuries were such as to render him in need of extensive physical rehab.

Re: James Spence's "Lifetime Guarantee"

UPDATE:
It took a while for me to get the Stengel ball back from the lady I sold it to, (who had it rejected by JSA). When I did, I returned it to James Spence who in turn sent me a check for the amount I paid Steve Milwich for the ball 25 years ago. I appreciate him making the effort to make this right.

Thanks for all who helped…

Re: James Spence's "Lifetime Guarantee"

At 25-year ago prices, could he afford not to pay you back and make this go away?

In either case, it is nice to see one of the hobby "specialists" step up to the plate and actually show some character by honoring something they promised. It's sooo so rare.

Well, I think it had a lot to do with who Eric is in the hobby and the noise that was being created about this. If you honestly think this would have happened if it were you or I, I doubt it. However, I am glad this worked out the way it did.

I was just trying to be nice. You're absolutely right.
