I purchased four autographs from a well established auction house. All four items came with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Steven Zarelli of Zarelli Space Authentication.

I sent all four to PSA for REAL Certificates of Authenticity and three came back as fake, one did come back with a PSA COA.

I contacted the Auction house and they assured me that Zarelli was good, but in light of new evidence; the Rejection Letters from PSA, the Auction House offered a 100% satisfaction refund because they stand by what they sell.

Does Zarelli sit at the kitchen table for hours daydreaming with a handful of autographs around him ? Is this his eight hour work day ? I realize that COA's are based upon opinions but where does Zarelli get his opinions from ? Why did PSA reject three items that Zarelli looked at ? Did he look at the autographs or daydream about them ?

My Name Is Ian ...As a long time autograph collector, I know its tough to find an authenticater that you can personally communicate with and who will give you a honest and expert opinion.When it comes to Space Authentication, Steve Zarelli is truley the best out there. I would use no other! He has integrity and is highley respected in the autograph community having helped steeer collectors away from forgeries for years. I really couldn't praise the gentleman enough. Thanks Steve!

My name is Anthony Zarelli. I live in upstate New York. Steve was always the unbalanced one . He was always seeking attention and trying to be a little bigger, a little taller, and a little wser.  As an autograph EXPERT he found the right audience , but is he really the advice to follow ?  Think About That one.

Anyone can call themself an expert and self publish. I have seen both good and bad material that come with the Steve Zarelli $ 50 letter stating that he thinks its real. Who is this guy ?  Where are his credentials ? by credentionals , i do not mean self published articles or rewritten Russ Still articles,  what course work did he complete ?   Answer None !

I have seen the garbage being sold on eBay with the Steve zarelli COA's . I  get very upset that there are a group of rogue autograph  dealers that hang around a site and bad mouth honest dealers and  I have long since resigned from the UACC because they have a dwindling membership and people like Zarelli, with all his mis-informatio, made up stories, and autograph fiction represents the average membership of green collectors that lack any real knowldge and are too cokky to listen to seasoned collectors.

Steve Zarelli also Authenticates for RR in New Hampshire.  There is a significant class action suit against RR because the items they sold between 2009 and 20012 were found to be FAKE as proclaimed by PSA .  This is the very same scenario that happened to you with Zarelli, PSA declared the three items to be FAKE.  Check Out ...http://www.rrauctionlawsuit.com/
