With regards to the \u201cComicLink\u201d costume archived above, how did you determine that this specific costume was authentic to your standards?\u00a0 What is the provenance and chain of ownership of the \u201cComicLink\u201d costume?<\/p>\n<p>4. How do you account for the discrepancies between the confirmed authentic costume and the \u201cComicLink\u201d costume as outlined above? [see original article for details]<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0 How do you account for the similarities between the presumed inauthentic \u201cSuperman III\u201d reference costume and the \u201cComicLink\u201d costume as outlined above? [see original article for details]<\/p>\n<p>6. Do you maintain today that the \u201cComicLink\u201d costume is authentic and that it was worn by Christopher Reeve in the Superman films of the 70s and 80s?<\/p>\n<p>7. Have you ever authenticated any costumes sourced from Super Hollywood, Armando Alvarez, and\/or Ana Mungia?\u00a0 Of those you have examined, how many did you determine to be authentic and how many did you determine to be inauthentic?<\/p>\n<p>8.\u00a0 In your notarized \u201cLetter of Authenticity\u201d, you write, \u201c[l]et this letter serve as my personal guarantee that this Complete Superman Costume is authentic\u201d.\u00a0 If this or any other costume or costume part that you have sold and\/or authenticated is proven to be inauthentic, do you provide refunds as part of your guarantee?\u00a0 If so, what are the parameters (i.e. is there a time limit, does it need to be the original buyer, etc.)?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I am not demanding answers, just making note of the fact that none of the above questions were addressed.<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to keep the discussion on topic, I will react to just a few excerpts from Mr. Hambrick&#8217;s message.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;Stolen&#8221; Superman Costumes in the Marketplace?<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Super Museum wrote:<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ilya Salkind is now quoted as saying that all genuine Superman  costumes out there are considered by him to be \u201cstolen\u201d.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If true, how does the marketplace account for the large number of costumes with &#8220;Super Hollywood&#8221;\/Armando Alvarez\/Ana Mungia Letters of Authenticity claiming many Superman costumes and costume parts were &#8220;given&#8221; to them as gifts from the Salkinds?<\/p>\n<h3>Super Museum: Guarantee Policy?

authentic, worn by Christopher Reeve in Superman III, as authenticated by Jim Hambrick of the Super Museum with a genuine Letter of Authenticity.\u00a0 <strong>-OR-<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The Superman

&#8220;ComicLink&#8221; auction business to remove the lot in that it is being sold with a Letter of Authenticity with his name and company name attached.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Given the public offering of this costume, marketed with a notarized Letter of Authenticity from Jim Hambrick, Super Museum &#8211; if the Letter of Authenticity and\/or the Superman costume itself were inauthentic, wouldn&#8217;t it be prudent for Mr. Hambrick to make such information publicly known and contact the auctioneer in order to alert them to the fraudulent nature of the auction items?\u00a0 Not only to help prevent collectors from being defrauded, but to protect his company name and reputation in the hobby as an &#8220;expert&#8221;, as well as to protect the integrity of his Letters of
