PSA or JSA for sports autographs?
 

I have been told that JSA is better judging sports autographs are authentic or not. I have sent a handful of items to psa, mainly Joe Dimaggio signed baseballs and they all come back good except my Ichiro signed bat. This bat was signed in person 2002 spring training and looks nothing like his current signature. I decided to send it into JSA and have them take a look at it.

To my surprised, their turn around time was super first (they received my bat last Monday and shipped it out 2 days later). I got the JSA LOA today. Their site is not as good as PSA for knowing the results, but I think I will sent sports related autographs to them from now on.

I sent in over 50 items to JSA in Florida! Great Service and I got them all back in less than a week!!!
PSA is living on their name, and that is all!!!

Mike, you a dealer or something? Is it cheaper to send in bulk?

Yes it is cheaper to send in bulk. You can get basic certs down to about $4-6 depending on how much you submit. I think you can get stickers only down to about $3 (several thousand items)

How can they authenticate a signature properly for $3. That is what I would like to know. If they are authenticating your autograph for 3 dollars, what does that say about the authentication. It cost more than three dollars to pull up an exemplar, examine it, take out a sticker, sticker the item and move it to the next stack. the original question is jsa or psa? the answer, neither.
