[The Nasty Nati]

Didn't SGC drop using JSA do to them authenticating all those fraudulent signed T206 cards discovered on this forum?

JSA had nothing to do with the T206 issue. They were on their own at that point.

Jsa authorized a whole slew of OTHER forged t206s cards for the record. Not the SgC ones

JSA, SGC and PSA all authenticated forged signatures on T206 cards from 2015 to 2018 — SGC had the most (13), JSA had at least 5, and PSA had 1, but it was the most expensive (Baker).

SGC stopped authenticating all autographs as a result of the issue. JSA had parted ways with SGC over five years earlier. In 2013, SGC brought the autograph authentication in-house. They stopped in early 2019.

The dual comic and autograph authentication opened today. It is a new label. The release mention sport cards is next, so should be a few months when that opens up.

CGC previously announced that we would be able to submit cards for dual CGC/JSA grading by April. That deadline has now passed, sadly.

I thought it was they would make an announcement by April. Either way, it is happening.

There an article or a thread on here, about this? Would love to give it a read. Thank you.

JSA has always been great to deal with and has had a decent present in New England. I am hoping that will continue as I never have an issue selling JSA items. SGC maybe slowing down coming up here, so let us see what CCG does now. There have been lots of great shows in New England, we just need more of the better authenticators at shows.

Thanks for the news!

Thank you for sharing Paul. This is critical history.
