With respect to Mr Atkatz, when my car has a noise or my plumbing has a leak, I may attempt to fix it. As a car oowner and a homeowner I have tried to familiarize myself as much as I can with certain repairs but there are some things I just don't have enough experience with. I have been to jsa's offices and have sat with Mr Spence at Mantles restaurant in NYC and tried to pick his brain as he looked over pieces in my collection. Has he made errors, of course, but I am paying him for his many years of experience in dealing with autographs. I have read numerous posts here about both psa and jsa, and have seen stories in numerous other periodicals about errors, but I do feel more comfortable with them than flying solo with signatures I am not sure of. I can look at the esteemed Coaches Corners auctions and know they are not real, but have made some unfortunate errors on my own. I have sent a fellow collector to Richard Simon, due to his reputation, not because of personal dealings. While I do sell some autographs to help finance my pursuit of full signed sets, I do this for the enjoyment of "the hunt".
