Johnny Bench personalized autographed baseball
Hi All,
I have an opinion question. I own a baseball that Johnny Bench signed for me in person, and it is personalized to read “To John, Best Wishes, Johnny Bench”. It is one of my favorite items, and I would never sell it. Add to that, since it was signed in person I of course am certain it is authentic. That said, I am considering sending it to PSA DNA to be authenticated. Do you think that is a good idea, or should I just leave it as is? Best, John |

What would be the purpose of sending it to PSA?

Hi packs,
Great question. I am rather OCD, and would like the fact for display purposes that it looks official. I know that is really not the best reason to consider spending money, but that is a summary of my thought process. Should you have any further questions please do ask away. Best, John |

PSA will probably get it wrong anyway. They did with my Jordan jersey that was signed in front of me...

Only you know what your OCD will allow, but I think sending it to PSA is silly. I have several items (including baseballs) that I got IP, most of which I will not consider selling. I see no reason to send them and spend money to learn something I already know.

Yeah if there's no motivation to sell then there's not really any reason to get it authenticated. Authentication serves only 2 purposes: increase value for future sale; and give you peace of mind if you're unsure what you bought is authentic.

Hi All,
Thanks sincerely for all of your feedback. I much appreciate it. Right now I am leaning towards keeping it as is, in a nice acrylic case, and displaying it. Best always, John |
