Come Rich, cut him some slack. He's just trying to educate himself which is exactly what we all talk about, and you are our guru. Cut the new guy some slack.

I do agree it would be nice to have another choice for a quick opinion other than PSA, I know I would be more inclined to purchase autographs if so.

How does one use PSA Quick Opinion if an autograph IS NOT at an auction house??? The drop down menu only shows a myriad of auction houses!!

I checked out the PSA QuickOpinion info they had and now I'm even more baffled. It appears they only do it for items on Ebay? This seems like nice money making scheme for those guys. If there was any way I could submit my autograph this way and it came back "likely genuine" then I think I would save my money otherwise. I understand to best judge an item it should be in hand to be throughlly examined. I also agree with Chaddurbin that it would be a great option if there were other "QuickOpinion" options out there besides PSA if you didn't need a full blown cert.

Kind of my thoughts on the QuickOpinion as well.

If you wanted a PSA QuickOpinion though you can list it on ebay with an unreasonably high starting price and then submit it for to PSA for the QuickOpinion. Then simply remove the listing once done.

Ahhhh, very interesting.....

One concern I have with Quick Opinion is, you're basically alerting someone to a possible great deal. Whoever is on the other end of the Quick Opinion could see the item in question and decide to go after it themself.

Or maybe I'm paranoid.
