I third (or fourth?) that Richard should offer some type of quick opinion service. I would certainly use it.

Ya know what? I'm gonna jump in here. Many of you know me... I've been collecting vintage material--both baseball and historical--since 1961. I've always been happy to provide my opinion (a very educated opinion, but an opinion, nonetheless) gratis--either here on the board or privately. But, I recently retired (nobody told me not to quit my day job!), and I could use a few extra bucks.
So... for a PayPal charge of $5, I'll provide a "quick opinion.' If I don't feel qualified to judge a particular piece, I'll let you know that, too, upfront. No certs, no bullshit paper. I'll let you know whether or not I think it's good. You take it from there. datkatz@skidmore.edu |

Thanks for the support here but for various reasons, which I won't elaborate on here, the quick opinion is not something I want to start doing.
And to digress a bit,, PSA offers quick opinion but you don't know who has looked at the item and rendered an opinion on it.

why would anybody want quick anything when it comes to autographs?
I know quick electrical work (good enough, lets go home) and quick accounting (just round it to the nearest million), and quick archeology (just bust that skeleton out of that limestone, who will know the difference?) are popular but why quick autographs?

Why? 'Cause if you know what you're doin' (a big if), it ain't that hard to spot a fake.

Lemme tell ya a little story. Many, many years ago, a friend of mine worked as a locksmith in NYC. He'd go to people's apartments when they'd locked themselves out, and in two seconds he'd open the door. Some people would balk, though, at paying his $25 fee (told ya it was a long time ago) 'cause he hardly worked at all.
So he'd lock the door, and leave. |
