Replace the word *safely above with blindly. TPAs provide a service that can be useful and there are some collectors who will live and die by their certs, but that doesnt make them infallible.

Better to have a good strong feel for what you are buying and then get that backed up by as many free opinions as you can.

I say be your own TPA - your eyeballs work as well as anybody else’s (I hope!)

That is to say, all it takes is a little effort to gather and study and become the expert opinion you seek.

That's a MUCH safer bet by no small margin. That is an in-person collector who actually does go out and get these items. Also a RACC member with a good reputation. Accordingly the prices are higher - but the autographs are real, so that's why.

Luckily the guy cancelled my order! Thanks again for getting me out of that mess. I will have to purchase the legit JSA one.

This is fake! An Earlier style siganture (a bad attempt at that) she did years ago on a photo that appears on to be a photoshoot done recently. It makes me laugh that forgers are still doing her earlier signatures on current things!!! She doesn't sign like that anymore and hasn't done for along time. Glad you are not purchasing this!!! :). 

The jsa one you are thinking of purchasing looks good :). An older style signature on a photo that matched the time frame, with the photo of proof that matches that age too (I think). I think it's a safe purchase :)
