Roy Campanella is another great example of serious errors by PSA/DNA which have come to light recently.

I made a previous thread on this one alone...I still feel despite the errors...I still will use them...its impossible to get them ALL right..but this one right here to me does not look authentic what so ever...I have got Yogi time and time again over a span of 12 years and nothing he ever signed for me looked likes this including up until about 2 months ago...

eBay user presspasscollectibles looks like he has an "in" with PSA, I question the authenticity of many of his PSA items. This MJ is a complete hack job of a MJ autograph (There are several area's of hesitation in the autograph)... I think it's strange that he is the only seller on ebay with this variety of MJ autograph. If you look at many of his items you will see that PSA bends the rules with this seller...

This same company has offered a LOT of fake NASCAR items in the past. They always had PSA coas too. Not all of their NASCAR items were bad. But there have been many over the years. Who is certing the items? It always seemed like this seller got a "free pass".

I know it doesnt match with the one pictured. But I got Jordan in 1988 for the first time and have gotten him on many occasions since. He at one time signed like the one pictured . It was around the mid 90's .

Looks like they have an "in" with JSA too.  I see these listed all the time, all with the JSA sticker on them.  All signed by the same hand, pretty decidedly not Bono's.  The constantly exaggerated "O" and the utter confusion on how to finish off the signature are a giveaway.

While I'm at it, another one of the same breed from Timeless Autograph Auctions.

Really PSA, a genuine "Shoeless" Joe Jackson Autograph!!!! This is beyond reckless, there is no way PSA can guarantee that's an authentic Joe Jackson autograph! Did they think just the Pete in Pete Rose would hide the obvious!

Actually they might be able too. I am sure that PSA probably has one of the biggest exemplar files around when it comes to players like Jackson. Although its an extremely rare autograph, you have to imagine how many they see, most of which are probably fake. Are two letters enough to authenticate a signature? Its iffy, but according to every authentication company in existence, the answer is that it is. Their are many many celebs that sign with even crappier signatures that are authenticated. But i cant blame the authentication companies b/c thats all the celeb gives. Its easy to question PSA on the Joe signature, and it may very well be bad, but we have no idea what kind of exemplar file they have on Joe. So while this may be not authentic, it at the same time could be very real and backed up by solid examples.
