I am sure they will be ALL household names in the autograph business , the "rumor" is correct BUT since all of the name brands in the autograph business do not come cheap ...Mostly because they already have lucrative established businesses you will get the "experts" that need the dough ,
You get what you pay for. Slabbing has become the new "legos" for adults

No I'm NOT a cheap date when it comes to autograph authentication ..because to do it right takes MONEY
And to put a 30 year reputation on the line does not come cheap, I'm not a SELL OUT whore that allows my name on any "so called certificate" there are plenty of those already.

Doesn't Jimmy just teach people how to be him anyways? There are like a dozen people authenticating for him that I honestly have never heard of and who is to say who actually authenticated anything? I guess anyone can learn how to authenticate autographs with that kind of thinking.
