Authenticity is Everything

What does JSA, PSA, REAL charge to authenticate a full band signed guitar?

I am curious what the cost is for a full letter of authenticity from one of the major authenticators for a band signed guitar. From a big band like GnR, AC/DC, Mötley Crüe, Metallica. Tell me your experiences.

You can go to their website and the pricing is there. If it's more than 2 guys on an item they charge a letter which can range from $50 and up but current guys are usually in the $50-$100 range for the whole piece.

I have never used any of them but by looking at their websites you're looking at around $100 plus outrageous shipping.

I did check out the website but it did not give me a definite answer. It seems to be a range, and it seems the more expensive the item the more they charge. I think for a guitar the shipping will really kill it. I have a GnR and AC/DC guitar that I have no doubt are authentic but I am debating if I should get them authenticated. I just picked up a Mötley Crüe that came with a JSA LOA, while I may have purchased it even without I have to admit that for the price I paid it was comforting having the LOA in hand. I collect these as a hobby but they make great long term investments as well, I see them in the same realm as art/paintings.
