There is not. PSA makes the same money if they deem it fake. The difference is they might lose customers down the line if they fail too many.
I've already pointed out some obvious autograph fakes that PSA authenticated, and I'm not really a hand-writing analyst or anything. The signatures were spelled wrong. I figure that's a solid giveaway.
