If you want a COA to improve the value of your item for resell, get with PSA or JSA. If you want to know if your signature is authentic this looks like a good group to use possibly.

Eh, whatever service, how much is a Magic 8-Ball these days? And that darn thing is reusable! You can smash it! And no stickers! But, also, like some TPG, you can get several different results for the same question... ;)

Hi Colby. I'm the lead authenticator at ACOA. I can tell you a little about our process.

When submitting to AutographCOA.com, each item is reviewed by up to 10 different team members, all of whom conduct their review independently. Each team member carefully compares the submission to our extensive authentic sample pool, along with any IP samples they have obtained themselves over the years. The submitter-name and source of every signature remains hidden to all consultants during the review. If they believe an item is not likely authentic, they must note any specific problem factors, and then discussions and additional reviews around those factors take place before a final determination of Pass, Fail, or Could Not Determine is made by one of the company's authenticators, including myself.

That's our general process for every submission, along with a number of additional technical functionalities that we don't publicize but which are useful and awesome.

We expect it will take time for us to gain large-scale fan/collector awareness of and respect for our services and our COA, but we definitely look forward to working hard every day to earn it.

If you questions, I'm available via PM on Facebook 7 days a week.

I really like ACOA, personally I think they are better then PSA/JSA/BAS and most of their competitors.

I have actually been in the market to get some items authenticated. The three ring circus of JSA PSA and Beckett does not interest me. The fact that none of them actually maintain a photo of your item is pretty sad especially given how much money they are making. They also offer a confusing mix of services that can cause a buyer to believe they are looking at an authenticated item when maybe they are not. I also get the feeling they are in bed with card manufacturer's. 

When I look up any random ACOA item on their website I see the signature that it is attached to. Plus the user interface and instructions are very straight forward. Encapsulating service might be nice but not a deal breaker for me.  This is my first impression, going to set up an account and give them a try.

They are far better than any of the other tpas out there and they are the only authenticators I would recommend to check that your item is genuine before buying it.  I cant recommend them enough and wish I had known about them years ago.  Maybe they make the odd mistake, but nothing compared to some of the other authenticators on the block

I believe that AutographCOA is on the same level as the big three. It takes time for newer companies to establish themselves in the marketplace. IMO, their services are fine and professional.

I would also like to add that choosing a TPA is a personal choice. I believe AutographCOA is developing a better system in the autograph authentication process. I recommend you give them a try and see for yourself if it fits your specific needs.
