He must be an expert then. If someone searches his name and can find no hobby history, writeups or any type of background in the hobby at all, besides the bio at jsa website, it's a sign of something.

If he is the director of authentication then is Jimmy not authenticating anymore or as the CEO does he just supervise?

maybe steve z. can offer some insight into the guy. dude does look awfully young to have the experience to be the director of authentication, or he ages better than the rest of us.

Spence is listed as Managing Member/Lead Authenticator. Not sure why the Lead Authenticator wouldn't be the Director of Authentication? I would think they would be pretty much the same job.

+1. And the writeup on the JSA site itself is not very impressive.

If he is the "director of authentication" then is he there taking submissions or examining autographs? I would think the "director" should do more then take submissions.

I have seen schedules of authenticators from companies (no names please!) going to 3 and even 4 locations across the country in the same day. How many world experts they got?


from the website

Robert Wharton - Director of Authentication / Authenticator
