I received a Jack Morris bobblehead back from a mail-in signing that I'm not 100% happy with.
The signature is fine (my photo is a little blurry), but I had asked for it to be authenticated which usually results in a sticker placed on the bottom of the bobblehead base. I usually have a sticky note saying to sign the side of the cap in silver and to place the authentication sticker on the bottom. I'm assuming I had that note on this one too, although I didn't take a photo of it before I sent it.
What I received was what appears to be sticker residue on the back of the helmet. I'm guessing they put the sticker on the back of the helmet, realized it was supposed to go on the bottom and tried to remove it. But they didn't put another sticker on the bottom.
So, I have a bobblehead that isn't authenticated and has some sticker residue on the helmet. I sent a note to the promoter asking to have my authentication fee refunded. I can't really blame the promoter for this error, as he isn't the one placing the sticker on it. But maybe he should have noticed this before packing it back up to return to me.
I also received a few cards that I purchased from a fellow SCN member. The Doug DeCinces card isn't hard to get ttm, although he does charge a small fee. I probably spent about as much as it would have cost to get it ttm, but removed the risk of losing it or having it signed in black or smeared.
The other cards are from tough signers ttm, at least over the last couple of years.
