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 ?

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?
