Comment by Dave Dodd on October 4, 2010 at 7:13pm: You want to pull your hair out when you had something signed in person and they say its not authentic. You want to get a hold of the athlete and have them call PSA and tell them they did sign it!! Ha Ha! I know that would never happen but you feel like you have been called a liar!

Comment by Dave Dodd on October 4, 2010 at 7:11pm: Everybody loves PSA/DNA!! all in all its seems to be a great service, and I can understand the need, but lately they seem to be making a lot of mistakes. Are they getting to big and a little sloppy at times? I don't know. I know they are only human, but I have friends that have had issues lately with them.

Comment by Dave Dodd on October 4, 2010 at 7:03pm: I sent 6 items to PSA/DNA and 2 came back no good! "Items I had signed in person" Thats only 66.67%!!!!!

Comment by Rick Badwey on October 4, 2010 at 7:02pm: It is no fun collecting if the odds are stacked against you in authentication of a SIGNED item. GO for documents, letters or other signed items that have a reason behind it, not verbage from a guy who said he saw him sign it. This is why I prefer documents or letters (not clips or sigs).

Comment by Dave Dodd on October 4, 2010 at 6:54pm: Well good luck ab, this used to be a fun hobby! I have been collecting sense I was a kid. I have thousands of items. Now, I just don't care to collect as much anymore. Its really frustrating!! I know where you are coming from believe me. I like the site though, Steve did a good job putting this together.

Comment by Anthony Bautista on October 4, 2010 at 6:48pm: If you read all my post I agree that PSa and Jsa make mistakes. But for the most part they are pretty on point.

Comment by Dave Dodd on October 4, 2010 at 6:47pm: Oh and by the way, if you think JSA and PSA don't make any mistakes you are sadly mistaken. Me and my son have had several Baseball items and Tampa Bay bucs items signed in person when the bucs used to have training camp at Disney. Had a football that was signed in person at Celebration Hotel in celebration " Where I live" by a few bucs and it came back as not authentic by PSA.

Comment by Anthony Bautista on October 4, 2010 at 6:47pm: Jsa told me who looked at it. They are good with communication. Psa wouldnt tell me though . Its not fa;lse ebay will take down high profile people like John Lennon , Tiger woods, Paul mccarntey , Derek jeter without third party authenticaiton and it has to be an approved one. I sell other people no problem with out third party authentication , but I dont think a Tiger woods would fly with ebay without Jsa, Psa or Uda.
