Sladge,
As you are new to Net54, you may not realize many, who I would consider experts, have already responded to your thread. They have not only given you their opinion that it's real, they have also explained to you that being that UDA is an in person certification, the provenance of your item is impeccable. I am not sure what else you expect.
I am also not sure why you would spend more money to have a third third party give you an authentication, especially in light of UDA being one of them. Lastly grading balls, IMHO, is worthless as balls can degrade even in a sealed cube, so a grade 10 ball now might be a 7 or 8 in 20yrs regardless. Perhaps, if you plan to sell it right away, then the grade might get you a higher sale price from a buyer who cares about the status symbol of the grade number. I assure you that most educated collectors can tell the grade of your ball without needing PSA to tell them.

Lastly, one of the few rules on this board is that if you voice a negative opinion about an individual or business, you must have your name either under your id or in your post. Referring to JSA's failings, even if reported on the internet is still a negative opinion. This rule is in place to make sure people think before the write something and feel they can hide behind the internet. I am equally critical of the TPAs and have posted my name to such posts many times of the years. It's good to be skeptical. Nothing wrong with asking questions.
Good luck collecting,
Mark
