Mickey Mantle / Joe DiMaggio Autographed 8x10 Photo ... Certified ShowTime Memorabilia By ForensicsGreat ConditionSupreme Court Delivers BlowTo Autograph Authentication!High Court ruling sides with Forensic Document Examiners as Experts rather than practical experience.(March 23, 1999: Gumbo Tire Co. v. Carmichael) The U.S. Supreme Court by an 8-1 ruling told federal trial judges to screen out dubious testimony by self-proclaimed experts when opinions are not based in science. The ruling extends to all manners of individuals such as engineers, psychologists, accountants or handwriting analysts. Before they are permitted to testify to juries, stated examiners must show that their opinions are based on "scientific principals,"and not just a hunch based on self-described practical experience.The high court has shown a skepticism toward hired self-proclaimed experts. Six years ago, the Supreme Court said that lower courts should act as "gatekeepers" and to carefully examine testimony by these applicants. Judges should look beyond advertised qualifications and examine the basis of their conclusions on facts.What does this mean to the industry?The decision delivers a major blow to the autograph industry. For years, dealers have served as their own authenticators relying on their stated experience to render an autograph authentic or not.
