I have always found it interesting that these services have such a sliding scale for authentication services. It is not the difficulty or time-consumption of authentication that sets a price, but the final sale value of an autograph. Is it harder to authenticate a Lou Gehrig auto than a Kirby Puckett? No (it's arguably easier), but Gehrig costs 200 while Puckett costs 30. It is immediately obvious that the service is not one of authentication per se, but of adding value to an item, and the company wants a percentage of that added value.
But those of us on the autograph side of this hobby are apparently stuck with them.

Not if you refuse to use them.

Yeah, but then David, if you don't use them, and need to resell an item, you are potentially stuck with it. Its a vicious cycle. |

JSA/psa
JSA is much easier to submit to than psa. They do many shows, if you don't feel comfortable sending items away.
