    I'm going on recollection Allen - they do alot of their own signings and show pics of it with certification.

    They have some really slick looking stores.

    I think they also have signings at certain stores also.

    I'm leaning more towards legit than garbage.

    Wow! I think these three posts have been the most informative and on topic posts I have ever seen!

    I went to a Pete Rose signing at a field of dreams location he charged $35 for an 8x10 and wrote hit king and #4256 for free! That was about 3 years ago.

    They also unload items on eBay from time to time. Nothing I have seen for sale looks less than 100% authentic, so I would say go for it. Their items are in the same category as Steiner for legitamcy.

    While the vast majority of their stuff is solid, they admitably bought (and regretably re-sold) some "signed" Ripken material a few years back that were forgeries...Certanily not a lock like UDA
    Successful dealings with Wcsportscards94558, EagleEyeKid, SamsGirl214, Volver, DwayneDrain, Oaksey25, Griffins, Cardfan07, Etc.

    I have a few of these "COA" papers from Field of Dreams, cause my wife shops in the shopping mall for my gifts! I believe they are legit, but I have not made any attempt to sell the items which are connected! IMO, they are as authentic as every other piece of paper I have from an authorised vendor other than PSA! Why do I believe in PSA? Cause they say they are the experts! Should I question them? ..... Well, I think YES! Do I give my money to PSA? ..... Again, YES!

    OK, so I believe in PSA because I give them my money to evaluate my items, just because everyone else seems to believe..... OK, here are some more items to grade so that I can have more samples to determine your value.....

    I remain gobsmacked!
