Nick Trybull he basically charged him for it haha

[@Slammy555]

He could have said they're going to have to re-frame it, which cost more than framing because they have to remove it from the previous frame. I don't know if it will be glued onto a piece of cardboard which would dramatically affect the pricing, I'm taking all of the risk here. $1.

Being caught passing a forged signature of Charles Lindbergh as authentic by Lindbergh's daughter set off a chain of re-authentication of hundreds of signatures he declared real a great many turned up forgeries losing the owners hundreds of thousands of dollars collectively. In 2011 they grouped together to file suit against him. During a deposition it came out his education (he'd always claimed to have been educated at the Columbia school of journalism, he attended briefly but never graduated)to evaluate signatures was also fake. And he admitted he learned from Bill Mastro, who is serving his own prison sentence for memorabilia fraud.

No, he's not

[@kirktoufor5991]

Rick had it authenticated for his own protection, not for the benefit of the seller. Slick Rick flipped it on the seller and used it against him. Lol

[@mrcenzy2282]

Mike Cuba What if it’s only worth $100? Then Rick has spent an extra $200 and has to keep it for a while trying to sell it. I think Rick made a good decision calling in the expert since he now has an idea of what it’s worth with less risk than giving $300 without knowing much about the worth of the item. (He also still makes a profit after calling in the expert)

[@richardquiles5181]

It didn’t cost Rick a penny to get it authenticated, those “experts” aren’t paid to do their service
