It looks nothing like mine but mine are fairly descent and yours is almost 10 years old.
He has changed it a lot of times so I have no idea sorry.
JSA is usually good with modern music autos.
I would give them a try.

Here is the Eminem auto in question

This one is simply beyond my paygrade. I have had 2 Eminems in my collection before, i sold one, and the one i kept is the same photo as you have here, but it is signed Marshall. This signature could go either way for me. The time period where he used the big elaborate S's is hard for me to give opinions on authenticity.

Personally what i would do in your situation is set up a mock ebay auction and get a PSA quick opinion. Set a reserve price rediculously high and then submit it to PSA. Once you get the verdict, then take the item down. My experience is that both PSA and JSA are very good with Eminem. I dont know that i have ever seen an example of him certed by either company where i thought they made a mistake. I personally would trust either one. But just to give you an idea, i would do the quick opinion option first, and then think about sending it in once you get the result.

I typically would recommend Roger Epperson, but i dont think Roger authenticates autographs like Eminem. But i would definetly keep it between either PSA or JSA. I see so many bad items certed by 3rd parties on ebay that i can recommend them with confidence, especially with Eminem.

Thank you for the help. And thanks for the tip about the quick opinion, Carl?
Anyone else that has an opinion about the photo?

I don't know why there is a question mark after Carl. I meant it as a thank you, but my phone wasn't that sure and auto corrected it. :)

Search eBay and Google Images for PSA authenticated Eminem autographs and see how it compares.  That is what I usually do when I am curious about a particular autograph.  If that doesn’t rest your mind take Carl’s advice.  Good luck Daniel.  Keep us posted.
