I had a long talk Tuesday with the head of a major auction house, and I'll repeat one thing I said to him during our discussion: Buying an expensive autograph based entirely on JSA or PSA is foolishness. They are supplemental to your own positive belief that the autograph is authentic. If you don't have such skills (and most people don't), then you have no business buying the item unless you have a trusted proxy to make the assessment for you.

And that would NOT be anyone who has a financial interest in the sale of the item.

I know there are those who disagree with the above, and that makes sense - such thinking is why the TPAs are in business, for better or worse.
