Roberto Clemente Autograph

Hi all,
I wanted your opinion on what you think of this autograph. I've been burned on an authenticated Clemente autograph that was a blue label in the past and don't want to lose my money again.

Hi Paul, how would you lose money? The cert number checks out, It's a beautiful auto. Good Luck buddy!!!

Hi!

I previously purchased a PSA graded Clemente auto.

If you’ve seen my other autos, you know I take the auto out of the slab and make a card out of it, then get it reslabbed. Like below.

I include the flip when I get them reauthenicated and haven’t had any issues until this Clemente, which came back “questionable authenticity.” Now, I 100% know that I am taking a huge risk, which is why I only purchase previously authenticated autos. So I never thought that the corner stone of my auto collection wasn’t real.
I worked with PSA/DNA and they were great. They went above and beyond to help, but ultimately their current graders do not agree with the previous graders assessment that this was a Clemente auto. So, I should never have taken the auto out of the slab and I would have been safe, but since I didn’t, I have an auto that I purchased off of eBay that was real and now it isn’t.
So before I bid on this one, which I agree and think it looks great, I wanted a few more opinions.

I hope this helps, here's mine to compare.

Have you considered having them PSA crack and switch to a letter with sticker on the letter?

If I win it, that's definitely an option!
