To prevent someone from telling my kids oh this mickey mantle autograph is not authenticated so I'll give u $10 for it or hey that Ted Williams autograph isn't authenticated so I'll give u $20 for it! I feel if items are authenticated it's a lot harder for people to take advantage of a situation when my kids do sell my items one day .
That's what they were saying 7-8 years ago about Global Authentic s or whatever they used to call themselves. Remember when they had a good reputation? Now you are hard pressed to find an authentic signature with that old label. The good ones that have that sticker are worthless. In 40-50 years or maybe much less, you might be saying the same thing about your TPA? I wouldn't want S*** on my stuff. Sell it for your kids during retirement. Spend all the money or give it to your kids if they're not ungrateful bastards like the rest of the millennials
