I use Mike for a lot of my authentication. He worked for a couple of bigger authentication companies before forming his own company. Definitely still in business and he does all of the major shows in the northeast. I am one of their approved dealers and I would trust an item with his cert on it.

Absolutely trustworthy and a nice guy as well. He is generally more affordable than the bigger names, but no less professional (IMO).

I use Mike exclusively for my company. With every item he rejects my respect for him increases. I;m sure nobody is perfect, but I have a fun Mike story. Over the summer I took in a MASSIVE autograph collection. The owner had been bed ridden after a kidney transplant for almost two years and wrote to everyone under the sun. Needless to say there were lots of stamps, secretarials, autopens etc. When the collector finally regained his health he started getting items done in person at shows. I presented the collection to Mike with no explanation or information (unlike some people I don't think a good story influences an authenticator!) When I got this massive collection back literally EVERY item that had been obtained in person had passed and hundreds of through the mail items had failed. That was when I stopped bothering with other companies. He is very well thought of in autograph circles specifically too. Check out this link for more info:

Is this the same Mike Root who was with SGC and
involved in the PAL show in Parsippany? I haven't been
there in a while but if it is the same guy, he really knows
his stuff. I wouldn't hesitate to use him.
