JSA Team...

I don't think I've ever seen a photo in my life that made me want to LAUGH & CRY at the same time .....

Like watching Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder Play a game of ping pong !!!

They should have never cut corners and tried to save a few bucks on the curtains where you could not see who was doing the authentication.

Seriously If I was boarding a 747 to fly with my family knowing I would soon be flying in the air at 30,000 feet and as I boarded the plane I looked at the pilot and co pilot and saw THAT ...regardless of their , credentials , personalities or other intangibles I would immediately leave the plane and take a bus or wait till the next flight

These guys would make me feel a little more comfortable with their expertise in flying although at the time they had very little experience in it

But from the looks of the first photo, they have clipboards, so that's something.

You would take a bus, even if it meant an ocean crossing, you would risk the sharks.

With problems in JSA and PSA appearing regularly do you think we are going to have more auction sites really solely on independent authenticators such as Stinson, Simon, Keating and Albersheim?

Maybe my next call will be from Heritage

The condescension here is not pretty. I know several 'younguns' who are extremely knowledgeable about the hobby. Like Brian Dwyer from REA. I don't know these two but I won't condemn them on appearances.

Also, the posts here assume that they are authenticating on site. I've seen JSA in action in settings like this and anything complex or obscure is taken back for review at the office.

yeah but people have heard of brian dwyer, is he autographs by the way? thats a different ballgame.

nobody heard of these guys, ever. people dont just pop up out of the blue, and now they are world class autograph authenticators doing all genres and categories?

Age should not be a factor Luis Armstrong was considered a prodigy at 11 and could not read music, Ernest Hemingway began writing the great American Novel "The Sun Also Rises" at age 25 , Chopin composed his best music prior to age 20 , And Mozart composed and performed to critical acclaim at the age of 5,
So we may be seeing today's autograph prodigy's at work , Dual signed photos available at the door ..$100.00

Adam,
I would appreciate knowing which knowledgeable younguns do you know of in the autograph hobby.
