There has been alot of talk on these boards about third party authentication companies such as PSA, JSA, GAI and SGC, etc. Its seems that no matter how good an authentication company is, they are just one big scandal away from being out of business, rendering their authenticated autographs useless ex..how many people would buy GAI autographs nowadays? not me! (But 5 years ago I would of) I ask this question because I look at all of my JSA and PSA autographs that I have left in my collection and think, if JSA or PSA get rocked by a scandal, all my autographs would be worthless, so I ask you, do you like/prefer autographs to be authenticated by a company, or would you prefer your autographs to remain un authenticated? Its kind of a slipper slope because for resale purposes (i am currently selling off my entire collection) theres no doubt PSA and JSA are king when it comes to resale purposes versus not authenticated items. on the other side, most autographs i obtain myself, so i know they are real, but when it comes to selling, people would rather trust psa. jsa, steiner, or even a paper COA over some seller saying they got them in person 9like 90% of this site including me does) your thoughts please?
