It is much cheaper to do the auction house style LOA's. I get them done from time to time but PSA/DNA has always done more than a cursory review. I, however, break things down more than most catalog auctions so the lots are generally single items or have just a few pieces. I also have other checks and balances in place for authentication.

If you found items that didn't pass you should bring it up with the dealer that you bought it from. You may have to get a 2nd opinion, but If the dealer / Auction House is honorable they will make it right. If they are the kind of people that are "hiding" behind the 3rd party LOA, than keep that in mind when making future purchases.
