Would JSA or PSA not pass a card that was signed in person for any reason?

[jbsports33]

Recently sent in a autograph card to PSA and JSA that was signed in person in the early 1970s, both told me it would not pass, has this ever happened to anyone else. Have the program and other autos that had been signed that day, could another player have signed it for kids, without a kid seeing it? This was a friend that was about 9 yours old at the time and the signed card was his favorite player, his family told me he had it signed, but he passed away recently.

Sometimes people remember things differently than they happened. Maybe the other materials were signed that day but not the card. Maybe the card was a through the mail thing and wasn't signed by the player even though after time the owner remembered having it done in person. Never know.

a collector acquaintance of mine knows someone who goes to most of the major PGA tourneys. He got 3 Tiger Woods signed items in person at these events. About 7-8 years ago, he sent them to a major 3rd party authenticator. 2 came back as authentic/slabbed, the other was deemed not real.

Go figure

Thanks for the feedback, I can understand not having a good memory as a kid, but if this was your favorite player I would want to look him in the eye. It seems to be tough call, because I have mixed feelings and opinions - some good even after the PSA and JSA results. I wish I could post a picture, but the family has it now

True.

But sometimes the authenticators don't know what they're talking about.

Maybe PSA/DNA is wrong. WOuldn't be the first time.

I have a signed Thurman Munson card I got in person in Oakland as a kid that was not passed by both JSA and PSA. I wanted to sell the card as I needed the cash, but all it did was put me further in the hole as they don't refund fees if items don't pass...

Which is why I am commenting about this, because some dealers that I trust and know did feel the history of the item and the signature looked okay. There was a lot of positives about this before hand. I do know that all the cards had been signed the same day all from the same year and team. I tend to have an idea myself, but I am no expert with autos and thought having some of the best look at it would be at least helpful
