Good point there. That image was just a sample loa and not the final design, and now that I go look at a JSA loa, they do look pretty similar, but the info is different. There really isn't much wiggle room for loa designs, there's just a certain amount of info as well as a photo that needs to be on there to describe the ball that jsa also supplies. This is why I asked for feedback, I want to work out kinks. Thanks Jim.

Personally, I think most LOA's look like Spence's (or vice versa). Combine a photo with a block of standard line-item info about the item, followed by a descriptive paragraph or two (boilerplate or otherwise), and a signature and company logo at the bottom, and there you go. Not much you can do to it otherwise that doesn't just make it look cheesy (graphics, fancy border, etc). They all start to look alike after a while.

The name at the bottom is what is important, and many on this board can attest to Brandon's expertise in this area. Heck, I'd be happy with an LOA scrawled on a napkin with a doodle of the ball in the corner as long as I know the info is good. And when it comes to vintage baseballs (sorry, base balls), Brandon knows his stuff.

Besides, the font of that "Letter of Authenticity" at the top is clearly intended to look like a PSA LOA
