I turn down about half the items offered to me to authenticate because they are signatures that I am not familiar with and I cannot render an opinion on them.
But the money grubbers at PSA would never do that, they prove it every time they look at a boxing autograph. This is hardly the first time they have screwed up boxing. Hey PSA - just say no. Your reputation is getting bashed here, was it worth it?

I personally was not trying to bash anyone, In fact everyone makes mistakes.
But the information I mentioned in this thread has been out there for a LONG LONG time and if ANYONE is going to charge good money for an expert opinion take an extra few minutes to do it right

If I pay my CPA to do my taxes, I don't pay him to guess.
I know there's some art to authenticating, but if there's any question, they should pass and not take the money (or at least less, to pay for their time). The examples given above may be chosen to "lead", but even a novice would realize that the "authenticated" examples are trash. It's particularly evident when comparing them to Marciano's trainer's version of the sig.

I gave PSA/DNA an invite to participate in the discussion, perhaps we'll get some answers. It certainly doesn't hurt to ask?

As I'm taking a closer look I notice the "M" in "Mario" in the letter of provenance and the "M" in "Mario" in the inscribed photo are way too close for comfort. The "R" in the inscribed photo is consistent to the "R" on the signed gloves. I think good ol' Mario himself is a more likely canidate to be the signer of the gloves than is Rocky Marciano.

It is obviously a corporate alphabet soup decision not to engage in discussions here.
