Battle of the Experts: Grad vs Epperson; Who's the Better Authenticator?

Hi,

   I was wondering who I should ask for a quick opinion in deciphering if a signature is authentic or not.  So, here is my choices, Steve Grad of Beckett Authentications or Roger Epperson of JSA Spence.  Who's better for rock signatures?

Thank you Beatleworld.

Roger Epperson 

Thank you Lynn.

lI would not trust anything what Beckett or Roger Epperson says not if you are going to spend thousands on a autograph especially with the likes of the Beatles or Led Zeppelin. Roger has just made two many mistakes for my liking. I keep seeing his certificates for badly forged autographs he has passed as genuine as for Steve Grad I’ve seen him on pawn stars. I don’t know either of the guys or had anything to do with them but I know that they have made mistakes...too many.

Just a few of the fake autographs what they have passed and ....we are not talking a couple of dollars here we are talking serious money for some collectors which is not good at all.

May I respectfully ask Keithspoon, How do you KNOW that all of these examples you've listed were FAKES?

Your post is actually quite misleading the stones lp you show im sure Roger cleary stated that some of the signatures were likely signed by other members of the band so to just show the lp without context is wrong 

Roger Epperson is THE MASTER! Roger has been in the business for over 20 years and is revered!

He authenticates for Christies UK!

He worked for over two years as "THE guy" AT PSA, DNA.

From 2006 to present day he is "THE guy" at JSA !!!

WITH THOSE CREDENTIALS I SAY AGAIN...EPPERSON IS THE MASTER! BOOM! (mic drop)

Funny stuff.

Grads the vest with H.ford.

Uhhh, don’t think Epperson authenticates Han Solo, so probably not a good comparison there.

I agree, Paul.  If the discussion were about Star Wars autographs, there would be no contest.

Epperson authenticates The Doors, but probably not the autographs their former employees.
