JSA....We'll take PSA's rejects!!!

I see no problems with it, they are not there to be a judgement of moral character and be an enforcer for NCAA regulations, they are there to perform their job to ensure the autograph is authentic. I, for once, applaud them.

I'm just surprised people are okay with a TPA being a party in an action that could cost a kid his college eligibility when they're slammed on a daily basis for what they will and won't cert.

Yes insure the autograph is authentic.
1000 autographs x 10 experts = 10,000 examinations. The original dealer was paid $30-40 per autograph so guestimate he paid $5-10 (?) per examination. Do the math, does this work out? I think not
In addition the player himself has now said he has seen autographs that were authenticated, on ebay, but not authentic.

So basically, JSA can ignore ethics and even ignore the process of authenticating the autograph...and still get paid.

I applaud them.

I am not following this, what I meant was I am glad PSA had the decency not to authenticate these items that they could not see in their presence, which they would do that more often.

The first sentence was sarcastic. The rest of it was pointing out the impossibility of trying to authenticate 1000 with 10 examiners in a relatively short period of time.

The crab leg story was a lot easier to follow.
