Hi Michael, I have dealt with RRAuctions and Bob Eaton. Would it be possible to speak with you?

Is Bob Eaton a scam artist ? From my emails with him it seems that he is.
R R AUCTIONS R&R AUTOGRAPHS LETTERPRESS IMPRINTED TITANIC RIP OFF SCAM FORGERY FAKE Amherst, New Hampshire
A museum gift shop in Colorado acquired a large lot of misc. old hand written letters from the early 1900's, since most had mundane content, most signed first name only. They sent the letters to a print shop that still had the old "Letterpress" printing presses. These presses used rubber based ink and lead plates. The letters were all imprinted with "Titanic Letterheads." These were only meant to be sold and owned as NOVELTIES. These all looked impressive and I own two of these.
One of thesewas auctioned off as the real deal. Barnum said it best "There's a *** born every minute". This happens to be a letter with the very same imprint . Some poor soul will be separated from his/her money very soon. Such a shame there is so much dishonesty in this world.
My saga began in the early 1980's . I began collecting autographs. I bought a majority of my autographs from Bob Eaton at R&R Enterprises. They would put out a monthly catalog. I would always call and they would put aside my wants and then I mailed them a check. This was long before the internet and well before Bob Eaton changed his business from a dealership into an auction house. Back then, I was buying from RR's Vast inventory. I spent thousands of dollars over the courses of a few years. There was no PSA DNA or any other third party authenticating firms in the eighties. I trusted R&R Enterprises(Now RR AUCTIONS).
Recently, I began sending pieces to PSA DNA for certification as I thought this would give my collection greater value. Out of thirty items that I sent to PSA DNA, over the time span of a year(This service is very expensive), seventeen items were determined to be NOT AUTHENTIC and I was shocked ! I spent a lot of money and to find out that more than half of my submitted items did not pass PSA DNA was very traumatic for me. I felt like I wasted money, which I did.
I contacted RR about this, after the first item was returned from PSA DNA with bad news, and I sent the signed photograph of Robert Redford back . I was refunded within three days. No questions asked.
After sending four more back to RR, we reached a point in which Tricia Eaton accused me of pulling a HOAX. I explained that I kept all my receipts and the autographs that Bob Eaton sold me had a lifetime guarantee for authenticity. I got no place very fast. An attorney representing RR Auctions returned all the Autographs to me by registered mail. The letter outlined his position that his Clients had no record of me, or the sale of the autographs that I attempted to return.
I called RR again. I told the unidentified person that I would never again trust any autograph dealer and I was through with autographs FOREVER. The man told me that he was sorry to hear that I felt that way about autographs. He told me there was nothing that he could do for me, and told me to have a good day and enjoy the weekend.
I have sent copies of everything to the United States Attorney General. I am deeply disappointed with AUTOGRAPHS and with RR AUCTIONS or R&R Enterprises or what ever title they currently use. I was a victim of fraud in every sense of the word.

RR staff, in my opinion are all bullies and thugs. They tried so hard to squeeze out small dealers by defaming them with negative accusations and anonymous mail, like the letters they sent out in the 1980's and 1990's defaming Mr Vardakis, and Mr Minor
