Is it real or real fake??

Now I'm no authenticator, but I think I could do a lot better than several who claim to be "authenticators". Check it out and tell me what you think. Texas arrowheads Cornertang with COA - eBay (item 220667172732 end time Sep-16-10 17:47:50 PDT)

I'm probably thinking it's real ONLY because Cox carries the highest of high end stuff so things that are too good to be true, he gets his hands on them. Then he puts a HIGH price tag on them. You can go to his site, as the listing says, at samcoxartifacts.com. Though I really don't know much about his authenticating. Why in the hell you'd have a KY guy doing a TX piece, I have no idea.

If I were to buy something like that I'd be sending it to Dwain for sure so the 7 day return thing would be a problem if I were buying that.

That could go along with his 1 negative,
I went ahead and asked him why he said no return but also offered 7day return.Furthermore I asked if he would be willing to extend the return to 14 days (AACA policy)To give me enough time to send it to a more reputable Authenticator?
We will see what he says///c

Any time a seller gets defensive in the description like this guy, I assume they either know it is fake or suspect it might be. You buy a point like this one, you end up paying $40 or so to have it killed and shipped back and forth.

Another warning flag is "I've went to the trouble of getting COAs from John Whohasbeenknowntopaperfakes and Fred Youveneverheardof, so if you don't like their opinion then don't bid."

I have never heard of Sam Cox papers but he charges $50!

He could have saved $30 by sending it to Rogers. He just wouldn't have liked hearing the truth about his freshly-made-by-a-so-so-knapper-Tang!!

Well the guy responded with an apology for the "No return policy statement"
He said he did not know why it was on there and said "They" would not let him change it.He then asked me what I thought Was wrong with Sam Cox <<<I said noithing I know of,,,but I would want Dwain Rogers to look at it first and 7 days was not conducive
