Willie Mays Type 1? Photo Question

[mybestbretts]

I usually get some of my photos authenticated and just put them in a toploader, they have a number of sizes and they sell them on ebay. I just sent in some photos and am getting the holders. Don't know if I will do it again.
Some of these old photos are very fragile and I think they need to be placed in some type of protective holder.

I don't think PSA will encapsulate a photo that size. Will only provide a COA.


CGC/CSG did some photo authentication/encapsulation years ago, I think as a test run for a bigger Ebay photo seller. The authentication part was pretty simplified and not entirely useful, but the encapsulation was of a much more pliable and thinner material. Looked great and also worked for oversized photos.

I have a few floating around here that I have left in their holders, simply for protection and preservation.

I think they abandoned this project, even though they still do larger stuff like posters and lobby cards using a similar material.

Here's an oversized one of George Foreman. Worst thing about these is it won't fit on a scanner and is super tough to grab a photo of without a glare, LOL. Those warps you might see on the front are not on the photo or mylar holder. Just my Iphone camera giving me a hard time.
