PSA/DNA and James Spence, IMO. Not sure if you talked to Mastro, REA or Lelands (they get amazing prices despite not using any authenticators), but that's the perfect way to side step having to pay to have things authenticated.

They will charge a % that compares to eBay when you add everything up (including Paypal if you have, time and hassle of people asking you stupid questions like: Did Roger Maris really sign that? Are those autographs authentic etc.,) and probably get you more for the lot in the long run.

Honestly, I feel like anyone who uses authenticators that it's a complete waste of time and money...but it's a necessary evil these days to resell.

I saw this one HOF item (I think it was a Judy Johnson index card) sell for $14 with out PSA/DNA cert and slabbed, it sold for $78. People buying the opinion, not the item...like people buying the slab, not the card.
