Authenticity is Everything
Roger Epperson or JSA - Who should I believe
I had long a suspected that JSA had blown it when I had them authenticate my signed Journey album.
It FAILED JSA Authentication at an in-store at a baseball card shop here in Vegas. The authenticator look like a high school kid who may be graduated 6 months ago.
Always wanted a second opinion but didn't want to pay for full authentication again.
Yesterday just on a whim I sent a bunch of pictures of it to Rodger Epperson to see what he thinks. Apparently from his cursory review he disagrees with jsa's opinion. Epperson likes the LP.
Who is more believable JSA or Rodger Epperson? What do you guys think?

Be aware Team Derek is alive and well and currently selling lots of cheap lps on Autographs 101 on Facebook. Many have JSA coas.

I think these guys are getting one or two autographs on the album then getting it certified by JSA then filling out the rest of the autographs themselves.
I've caught several sellers doing this.
There is one particular seller on eBay who does this with 11x14's signed by Steve Bauer from Scarface. He gets the Bauer autograph certified then adds Pacino himself...smh

Almost have to admire the ingenuity. Almost . . .

Welp...This LP just failed a BAS quick opinion.
Not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed.
It is returned to the depths of my questionable pile from whence it came.
Epperson - Yes
Jsa - No
Bas - No

Keep in mind, when Roger gives a Quick Opinion, you know who reviewed the item, but when BAS gives a QO, do you know that that QO wasn’t given by some high school intern?

Quick opinions are most likely done by lower-level employees.
I will get around to sending it to Roger for him to take a good look at it.

Grad said he did most of the QOs at PSA. I don't know how it works at BAS. It would be great if all the TPAs explained how they handle them, the level and specialty of authenticator, etc.
The TPAs should be clear about their procedures across the board. I don't think they need to give the authenticator's name, just how they select the authenticator for certain autographs and the process those folks go through to authenticate the autograph.
We can always dream!

Roger Epperson is a great and professional opinion... but for me the better way to authenticate an your or other autographs is study and study and study the signatures with many others examples sold in auctions like RR auction, HA auction... or other serious sources. Ciao

Being familiar with known forgery styles is also important. Unfortunately, I think that would have been particularly helpful in this case.
