PSA quick opinion

[RichardSimon]

The problem with quick opinion is you do not know which mail room clerk is manning the quick opinion desk at the time of your submission.
It could be Joey the high school dropout who flips a coin.
It could be Peter who once asked Miley Cyrus for an autograph.
Or it could be someone who really does not know autographs very well.

Very true...and its not like theyre explaining why its no good. It sucks because i passed on the item and now someone else has it and marked it up by about $600

Great reply Richard! LOL

Joey - Maybe the guy who said it's no good was the winner!

Yup, I did a QO and it failed, someone submitted it in MY group submission, and it passed! Talk about a nut kicker

If you didn't win it, why not link the auction? It's hard it give an opinion on something without seeing it.

I had a Michael Jordan basketball and jersey signed in front of me at the same time. Basketball came back good, jersey came back bad. I can't fathom why people use third party companies to tell you whether something is good. The jersey was signed in front of me, but some bum 900 miles away is going to tell me it's fake. Crazy.

Dude, you were dreaming when you got it signed. Yes, this is the kind of issue that would make me only collect legal documents if I were to venture into autographs. They are usually good. It seems there are almost as many of these stories as there are tales of accurate grading. It is a crapshoot to a layperson.

I can't give an opinion on a non sport item as I don't collect much of it, but the item may in fact be good and you got a bad "opinion" to begin with. There will always be disagreements even between knowledgeable people and the only way to know something is truely authentic is to see it signed for yourself. When you rely on someone else's opinion to tell you if it's good or bad, then you sometimes get the short end of the stick.

Ya im starting to realize that. I know theres "experts" who specialize in autographs but the person signing may have been rushed that day or tired and forgot to cross a T or whatever else it may be...and because of things like this theyre deemed no good.
