But, it is an opinion. There are plenty who flock like sheep to them and consider it a guarantee, but most advanced collectors do their own homework and maybe reinforce their research with a 2nd opinion IE: LOA. I have many items in my personal collection and I can't think of one that I had PSA or JSA do a letter on. Although, I do sell (or have for sale) many autographs where I have a COA or LOA done for them. Fact of the matter is when selling it brings significantly more money.
I have said this in the past, but I do offer a lifetime guarantee with every item I sell as to its authenticity despite what LOA it comes with. I am guaranteeing the item, not the 3rd party opinion. This is just my opinion, but if I make a mistake I generally blame myself not the authenticator.
