Grad Collections vs PSA and JSA

Do letters of authenticity from Grad Collections bring in the same value as letters of authenticity from PSA and JSA ?

Just because Steve signed the rejection letter doesn't mean he's the one they reviewed the autographs PSA has several sports authenticators and one or more of them obviously seen something they didn't like . Why didn't you call PSA and ask for a review? I'm curious do you still have copies of the autographs? If you do load them to this site so you can can get other opinions.

They’re actually music autographs, and I still have them. I don’t collect sports autographs. The opinions I received were from members of this site. If you call PSA and ask for a review, they tell you that you can resubmit it for the same fee as when it was originally submitted. At least they did at that time.

I have never used a third-party authenticator in my life but I've often wondered what happens when an item with contradictory TPA opinions is put up for sale. I presume the seller would not be obliged to disclose the differing opinions to potential buyers or auction houses but it is a rather delicate area.

In a fairly recent discussion about a 78 record that had allegedly been signed by Billie Holiday two TPAs were against it (JSA and Grad) and one for it (Epperson). In such a case could a seller or auction house really only refer to the Epperson certificate without mentioning the other opinions?

And now added to the mix I see SWAU is offering a quick opinion on line service for only 5.00! I saw it advertised on Facebook this morning. SWAU is good for private signings but did not know they authenticate outside items.
