Base an autograph on your own research not an authentication company

I would say if you're looking to sell the autograph then get it authenticated.  But if you decide to own the piece as a keepsake then leave it knowing it's 90%  authentic.

I prefer PSA for entertainment autographs and JSA for sports autographs.  PAAS is a good autograph authentication company as well.  It simply depends on your own personal preference.

I do not trust PSA/DNA or JSA because both have passed fakes i say do your own research and dont send them there $100 to say yes or no and the quick opinion for $10 is a joke because they just look at a photo online and say yes or no thats crazy so save your money and do your own research.

I prefer JSA all the way on everything.  JSA will at least tell you WHY something did not pass their authentication process. I think they have much better customer service as well.

I would recommend JSA as well. If it is something not in their staff's expertise, they will seek and pay for outside help, something I like as no one is an expert on EVERY signature.

it's a scientific process and also not 100% nothing is except (death and taxes) but for my money i would choose JSA they seem to do the best job also psa/dna also is very trusted
