The autograph album was acquired from Lelands with full letter LOAs from PSA for the Ruth and Gehrigs.
After I added Tom Brady, Steve Grad questioned the Ruth via a twitter post. So I sent it to him at Beckett and let him review it in hand. He concluded the Ruth was good to go... his quote to me
"Its just a very odd Ruth and in person it does look better than it does in scans"
PSA - before slabbing - recertified all the autographs.
In terms of Messi - there are pictures of him signing the page. Pen to paper.
Ultimately I can understand people having an opinion on vintage autographs, but I'm good trusting PSA and Steve Grad here.
Of course they can make mistakes but this is my piece, which will never be sold, and I sleep well at night with their opinions on this item
