qualityautographs.com reputable??

I'm a little new to the autograph scene. I was just wondering if anyone knows of the website qualityautographs.com and the owner, Kevin Keating. Are they reputable? It looks like they authenticate the items themselves, because I couldn't find any evidence of PSA/DNA or other 3rd party companies that authenticate these items. If they are reputable, how are the prices?
Thanks in advance for any info.

    one of the best but the prices are rediculous.

    For example: They have Eddie LeBaron 3x5's for $250

    example #2: Alan Eagleson 3x5's for $250

    If anyone wants any of these signatures, let me know, I will beat their price by half! image

  • Very reputable. If your new to collecting autos be warned if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is because it's likely a fake.

    If you want a great read on collecting autos and some of the bad people in that business but a very long and I mean long read here you go-

  • Great selection, does seem to be a bit pricey, but reputation does go a long way.

    Kevin has one of the largest inventories and yes, he is a reputable and excellent dealer, but...his prices are blatantly outrageous. He apparently has sold a LOT of stuff to the card companies (who pay well, by the way) so he does move that stuff.

    I haven't dealt with him for probably 20 years, but a buddy of mine said that he expects people to "make offers".

    Kevin's a good guy. I've bought some four horsemen stuff from him before, and I've sold him a Ty Cobb signed photo as well. His prices are high, but the flipside of that is that he pays pretty well for quality pieces as well. Easy to do business with.

    I just purchased from him for the first time and was very impressed. His prices are high, but he does have a great inventory.

  • Tnspro,

    Eddie LeBaron signs through the mail for free and fast. I sent him two cards last December and he returned them both signed within 10 days with a nice note to boot. $250 for that one in particular has to be a typo I would hope.
