Are These Autographs Legitimate? (Jodi Birkholm's Quick Opinion is in Post #14)

I think they all look a bit off... just my opinion

I'd let Jimmy Spence review - of all the places to get an opinion Jimmy will give you an honset answer. I know this site is chock full of experts - if your unsure - give it to a 3rd party and pay the fee - While some would disagree it's become popular to bash JSA and PSA/DNA - can anyone say they never make a mistake - or willing to put themselves on the line and prepare an LOA and stand by it and become successful. Just my thought

Ahh... But they don't stand by it. It's just their opinion. Check their lists of disclaimers.

Brad, please keep us posted. I was following this auction, and just wasn't comfortable enough to make a strong bid. I went back and forth over those autos for a couple days. Good luck!

I didn't see the auction. Did the seller comment on why he didn't have it authenticated. And David is right, it is their informed opinion I believe and you have to decide what that is worth.

Jeff, the seller wasn't sure what the item was to begin with, so I don't think authenticating was even a thought. The reason I wasn't comfortable with the item is that I'm far from being an expert on autographs - however it might have been worth a gamble.

First of all, thanks for all the opinions and comments, guys.... I appreciate it!

I have the card in-hand now... Here are some enlarged scans of the autographs....

I will be submitting the Foxx for authentication via the internet shortly... The results of that evaluation will determine the next step...

My gut feeling is that the Grove autograph (and likely all of them) are legit... Time will tell whether or not some authenticators agree with me...
