I think the key is not to let it be your single point of truth. It can be a contributing piece of evidence.

I am not the world’s biggest JSA fan as a TPA. They all have their issues but I see more issues with JSA from the big three imo

I submitted to Beckett Authentication Signature Review just now. They say results will come within 24-48 hrs. 🤞🏻

I know a lot of people don’t like it as a single source and I get it. If Beckett AND JSA give the thumbs up, I just feel better (accompanying my own diligence) regarding having confidence in a piece.

When the TPAs conflict, it raises my concern. I generally won’t move forward without consensus.

Nice! So we have some approval from the forum, we have comparable examples located, we have a full LOA from JSA and we have a “likely to pass” from Beckett. PSA would just be a cherry on top but even without their blessings I think you have enough evidence to support its authenticity.

my initial concern was what appeared to be a “too perfect” or slowly drawn last name but clearly in some instances he was that careful with it.

Looks like you ended up with some ………”Super” pieces 😎

Thanks Doug! This was one originally listed for quite a bit and I threw an obvious cowbell, considering it's "uniqueness" and the seller accepted. I've chatted with the seller a few times since then and he seemed genuine with his own interactions with Chris. This definitely makes me feel slightly more at ease. Not going to lie, I had my doubts with how cheap he let it go.
