I'm thinking of purchasing an autographed item from ebay, and I see it's authenticated by ACE (Autograph Certification Experts). I'm not familiar with the company. Can anyone give me any information on whether or not I should trust them, or are they another ***? Any help is appreciated.

May I ask who is it? You can PM it to me. I'm pretty good at telling if an autograph is authentic, because I have many IP autos.

A.C.E. is run by Justin Priddy. He is a good guy.

He used to be one of the head authenticators for *** before they went corrupt. But when he started seeing them do some fishy stuff he left.. Unfortunately they still used his name on a ton of authentications even after he left.

Here is there faceBook page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php...tograph-Certification-Experts-LLC/10286021699

Here is there web page.. http://www.autographcertificationexperts.com/

I would trust them as much as I would trust any other 3rd party authenticator as they are all just opinions..

The only true way to know if an auto is real is to get it your self.. The next best thing is companies that only authenticate items that they see being signed.. Other then that it is just someones opinion...

I've seen tons of questionable auto's with their COA. I wouldn't buy anything from them unless I was 100% sure the auto was real.

Sure its just an opinion, and if it happens once in a while, its fine... But when it happens all the time, its not a mistake. It becomes much more blatant. And he left *** long after they started passing questionable stuff. He was the head authenticator when they were passing all of the bad David Wright, Rggie Bush, Peyton Manning and Tomlinson autographs. Just look on ebay, there are tons of bad autographs with ACE certs.

Whats funny was your comment about knowing if an auto is real "because I have many IP autos."
Thats like saying that you can be a good actor because you've watched a lot of movies.

Apparently I'm not the one that needs to get a clue, being as though you knew EXACTLY what I was getting at.
