I'm feeling confident that those on this forum from what I have heard are probably as good (actually probably better) than those from an authentication company that I would pay to look at this for me. I struggle with these authentication companies because of their business model and incentive to pass these so that they can charge a high fee to collect when they do so. I also understand that if they do that the perceived value of this can escalate.

One note on the fees, they actually don't have incentive to pass these. The fees charged for an item like this, would be charged regardless of if it ultimately passed or failed authentication. They will be paid whether they issue a Letter of Regret or a Letter of Authentication.
