I had a long talk Tuesday with the head of a major auction house, and I'll repeat one thing I said to him during our discussion: Buying an expensive autograph based entirely on JSA or PSA is foolishness. They are supplemental to your own positive belief that the autograph is authentic. If you don't have such skills (and most people don't), then you have no business buying the item unless you have a trusted proxy to make the assessment for you.
And that would NOT be anyone who has a financial interest in the sale of the item. I know there are those who disagree with the above, and that makes sense - such thinking is why the TPAs are in business, for better or worse.

The fact that SGC should have to cough up some serious coin here certainly can't help their bottom line, and must have been one of the reasons they are getting out of that side of the business.

Sorry, didn't mean to insult anyone who had carefully thought out an escape plan. I'm glad to hear things worked out in your example.
On the other hand, there are bad certified Ruth balls sitting on mantels all across the USA, and no one will ever be reimbursed for them.

I’ve always found Larry to be a guy I trust. As opposed to GAI who put out a bunch of garbage SGC hasn’t done that.
BTW - does anyone think $35 is a cut rate deal on Mantle Williams DiMaggio? What are the balls worth? 350-600. $35 seems like a fair price if not a little high.

Again, regardless of what percentage of those you think are fake - 1% to 99% - the simple fact is they are still valuable today. Today - March 28, 2019 - you can still get "reimbursed." The scary thing is when JSA or PSA/DNA go under, or start to not stand by their authentications. Your autograph collection is only as valuable as the credibility of the Third-Party Authenticator, or the willingness of collectors to purchase items without a certification.

I'll bow out of this, as you and I have completely different ethics about collecting and neither will change the other's mind.

Authenticity is strictly a matter of fact, and not determined by today's poll or popularity contest or market value(though there often is a correlation). And, as the saying goes, the truth eventually comes out. Hobby history is full of corrections, factual revelations and continuing research-- often on these Net54 boards.
