Hey guys, so I just purchased this from a seller. He had a second one that was almost identical that was PSA Certified but this one was by Global. I did a quick test with PSA and they said likely not authentic. Thoughts? Thanks (also attached the PSA one for comparison)

Thought that would be easier than sending it in somewhere. I paid 150 for it, that is the price that the similar one went for that was PSA certified, recommendations?

 The guy that sold it to me said he obtained them  already certified. Not sure if that is true or not. But his ratings are very high and everything else he has been selling has been PSA certified

I can't advise you which one to choose. Perhaps try to get your money back on this one either by return or resell. Then get one you like with a cert you want. This could end up costing you more money without any guarantee of getting the result you desire.

It’s such a unique photo though. Ok thank you!

 I just like the photo so much I’m OK with Risking a $20 certification fee to verify it is authentic

Sounds like a plan. Just because it was questioned with a quick opinion does not mean it will fail a full authentication. I heard of the happening before.

I hope this works out for you.

Let me ask you Joe, you are on here so you are someone of a expert, looking at the two photos, if one was deemed authentic by PSA, as the other one close enough to it where it would also seem like the same person signing it

First, I'm not an expert. I don't know Keanu's signature so my remarks were addressing authentication services. I did note in my original post that I saw similarities and differences in the two signatures. Honestly, both look like chicken scratch to me. Don't have a clue how the real experts would know unless they witnessed them being signed.

It all comes down to opinions. I do not rely on TPA services. Never have used their services. They serve a purpose and I understand some collectors rely heavily on them. Sometimes too heavily.

I do hope this works out to your satisfaction.

Thank you!

Here are the two side by side for better reference

GA on right, PSA on left

I am not a Keanu Reeves expert.
But it looks authentic to me!

It looks like he signed somewhere fast.

Do not think too much about the PSA Quick Opinion.
