Yes, he got expensive opinions. Over the years, I think PSA has gotten many more things right than wrong...as they should. But I think we've all seen, at one time or another, many glaring mistakes. I've seen several terrible opinions on Michael Jackson items by PSA...mainly shortly near the time of his death. That's just one celebrity example, but there have been more.

In the past, PSA has gotten the majority right, but my friend was obviously shocked to get 23 of 25 failed. I haven't seen the items, but my hunch is that not that many were bad. And his belief is that not nearly that many would have failed with Steve Grad around.

And if PSA was right about my friend's items, then RR Auctions is incorrect in the assessment of their items.

Since RR Auctions offers PSA authentication for an added fee at the end of the auction, I find it strange that someone would win the items, receive them, then send them out to PSA on their own dime. It cost more that way and it takes much longer.

I would agree. A customer of mine recently had four autographs that were originally examined by Roger Epperson, 2 by Bob Eaton and one from JSA, all failed PSA. I asked him to contest it and send in the original opinions with the autographs. He originally thought that by getting PSA certificates, his autographs would be worth more. If Steve Grad was there, I am sure they were all have passed. He called PSA and they told him to resubmit the items but that he would have to pay the examination fee for a second time.

My friend was told the same thing...that he could resubmit the items to be reexamined but that he would have to pay the same fee again.

Now if they were to overturn their original decision, thus admitting a mistake, why should a person have to pay for PSA's mistake? But, of course, who's going to take a chance at losing even more money.

Jefferson,

It's clear that you're a dealer, since you again mentioned a customer of yours. Dealers and industry professionals are required to use their real names when they sign up. You identified yourself as a collector but you aren't. Please use your real name from now going forward if you want to stay a member of this site. I've asked you once before.

Steve, when I said customer, it's in my other work with Friends I share the same interest. My name is listed correctly on the original paperwork, you can verify on Linked In. I had an interest in a sport shop, but recently sold my interest. I sell a few items on eBay. I am now just a collector. In my other business I share my passion with customers, and in turn they become Autograph Collectors. You have my email, please reach out to me privately and I will give you my phone number, so that we can talk. The photo I have posted is me, I share the same photo on Linked In. Many of the dealers that are members on this site recognize me.
