Albert Pujols
well hello again. some time back i posted about the pujols buyback auto that i bought as well as the auto ball. well both came back yesterday.
the buyback had to go to james spence. they as well could not authenticate it due to several reasons. the ball went to psa/dna. they too could not authenticate it due to several reasons as well. so needless to say, i am stuck with a auto ball and auto buyback that i do not if they are fake or real.
so, anyone have any other ideas on where i can send them to to find out?
thanks

RE: Albert Pujols
How about back to the sellers you bought them from for refunds?
Several people told you those were sketchy at best. What did Spence and PSA/DNA charge you to look at them? You could have saved yourself those fees and I would press the sellers to pay the fees you incurred from the authentication companies.

RE: Albert Pujols
If either of the two authenticators you submitted items to can not authenticate the autos, you should just accept the fact that they are not legit. I think the reason is obvious as to why they can not authenticate them, don't you?

RE: Albert Pujols
For the most part i would stay far far away from buyback auto's all together. Also i would refrain from buying autographed items such as baseballs, photos, bats etc.... from unauthenticated sources and use sources such as PSA/DNA, MLB etc... Just would save you a ton of time/money/stress trying to figure out if they are real. Spend the little extra cash and buy something you know for a fact that it is real !
Looking for Highend Pujols/Chipper/Longo

RE: Albert Pujols
I never did get to see the autos. Why did they decline? Did they give reason/s for not authenticating them?

RE: Albert Pujols
Do you have pic of the auto? If you want a Pujols auto I suggest you get him direct at one of his signings. I have a couple, and it's money we'll spent IMO!

RE: Albert Pujols

RE: Albert Pujols
for those that havent seen the card here it is. also, the sheet that James Spence sent back.
now on the bright side, the guy that i bought it from i have stayed in contact with. i told him what happened and we figured something out. he is sending me a cut auto of Nolan Ryan that already been slabbed by beckett. i will post the pic as soon as i get it.
thanks
