Should I authenticate?

I am a private collector with no intentions of selling my autos. I have acquired all of my collection in person through training camps, special events or chance meetings with athletes. That being said, I live close enough to travel to JSA to have items from Drew Brees, Shaquille O’Neal, LaDanian Tomlinson, Ken Stabler, etc. authenticated. If I have no plans to sell my collection, is it worth the effort to have various quotes authenticated? I’ve never thought much about it previously, but with JSA so close it is something I have considered. Any feedback would be appreciated.

If you got them yourself so you know they're real, there's no need to authenticate them. Especially if you're never going to sell. If you ever decide to sell and want to authenticate them, you can pick the right service at that time.
