Hi Everyone! New member here, been reading for a while and wanted to join.

Trying to get back into collecting, haven't done much since the late 90's, early 00's. Primarily collect sports, but may try to get some music sigs along the way.

I have some old things needing to get certified, any opinions regarding JSA over PSA? Same as for buying, do you prefer Tristar, Steiner or Mounted Memories? Any of those to stay away from.

Here are some pics of some current pieces, opinions as to real or not? Excuse the flatness of the balls, just took them out of storage.

I can't speak definitively about the signatures, since I really don't know all the aspects of Jordan or Chaimberlain autographs. However, regarding your question about Tristar/MM/Steiner, I believe they're all generally held in the same regard. As far as modern athletes, they're all rock solid (though often overpriced). Regarding vintage, non-public/private signing items, I'm not really all that sure who is good and who is bad.

I'm personally not a big fan of any third party authentication, but I believe there were some on this forum suggesting that PSA has the advantage for sports items.
