I am strictly speaking from an educated…"
terrier8HOF replied to stevenrwhelan's discussion is psa dna / jsa worth it ?"ebay has definitely gotten worlds better in the last couple of years. for example, if you go to look at Mantle, DiMaggio, Jeter, Maris, Clemente etc, you will find very very few forgeries.
I used to buy a lot of Piazza items, because I could…"
DB replied to stevenrwhelan's discussion is psa dna / jsa worth it ?"what if it was Mickey Mantle?
would you buy a Grad certed mangle -vs- say a GAI one if the decision was to obtain a TPA'd one?
I obtained one from Hun's recently with a JSA LOA on it. Now could I have perhaps found one at…"
DB replied to stevenrwhelan's discussion is psa dna / jsa worth it ?"if you want something for the kids on Harrison Ford than just go to coolwater productions or celebrity authentics which is on EBAY. Autorpgraph Pros (a mbr here) as well as other mbrs here also sell on ebay as well. Go to R&R for…"

There is more good stuff on there if you look and know what to ask and research. I dont care who uses PSA I just wont give them my money because they think its like gold because…"
stevenrwhelan replied to stevenrwhelan's discussion is psa dna / jsa worth it ?"As a fairly new collector, that's what I worry about, people unloading crap, and I do try to do as much research as I can before I even consider buying an autograph, I don't know where to find these signings where you can actually stand…"
Lou reves replied to stevenrwhelan's discussion is psa dna / jsa worth it ?"Good point Mike why pay the extra to psa? You just have to sell it at a higher price to recoup your investment, thats why you can still get GOOD autos on ebay that ARE NOT CERTED! Sadly alot of people who use PSA are some of the ones yelling the…"
