Was your cover by Goldberg? There was one recently that looked like the
Goldberg covers that came out in the 1970's. A Goldberg I sold years ago (ie I
knew it came out of Goldberg's garageas I bought it from the guy who bought
skids of art from Goldberg) I saw recently listed as a DeCarlo cover but I
forget where - whether it was on a sale site or on www.comcis.org

I’ve noticed this too. I got burned by them on an Archie annual cover that was
initially listed as by DeCarlo and then changed after the fact to say
‘attributed’. This was a few years ago.
I’ve since gotten a bit better at identifying art by DeCarlo rather than
trusting them and I 100% mistrust the attributed designation.
For me ‘Dan DeCarlo (attributed)’ is now a proxy for ‘unknown Archie artist’.

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend in auctions of Archie art at Heritage. Several
lots have listed "Dan DeCarlo (Attributed)” as the artist when the art is
clearly by another artist and shows no sign of Dan even touching it. I’ve
emailed Heritage about these errors but to no avail. I’m wondering if they have
someone in-house who does the attributions of art, or are they just taking the
word of the person who’s putting the art up for auction? It seems like someone,
whether Heritage or the seller, is trying to drive up sale prices on art by
lesser artists.
