It truly sickens me that people really buy loa's on the name of the company. I have a huge file of mistakes by PSA and jsa in my office.
There's a big difference between PSA and JSA, and some of the other "authenticators." Sure, PSA and JSA make loads of mistakes, but they are honest mistakes; a number of people working for them just ain't that good. But I don't think anyone here would accuse them of knowingly vetting garbage. Then you have guys like Morales and Priddy, and quite a few others, who never met a signature they didn't approve of. They don't make mistakes, because they don't really offer an opinion. They sell certificates, plain and simple. Step right up, pay the fee, get a cert. Contract fulfilled.

No one who has seen and handled a dozen or so genuine Ruths, and has more than a passing acquaintance with holography would think for a second that that Ruth note is genuine.
