PSA Authentication + Pricing Question

[ballerskrip]

Hey all. I am thinking about getting a bunch more of my Perez Steele Autographs Authenticated. The last time I did this was in person about 1 1/2 years ago and was charged $10 a piece if I remember correctly.

I looked at PSa's site and saw authentication listed at $20 each. Is this right? That seems VERY expensive.

Can anyone shed light on this for me? Does PSA often have show specials???

Wow i just looked at those fees and if i read it right they want $100 to certify a michael jordan auto? I got a jordan auto ttm back in 1988 and I've always wondered if it was legit. it looks really good but i didn't know if they used ghost signers back then. But $100 to get it authenticated is crazy I'll just put the $100 toward a sweet jordan auto from upperdeck. Any opinions on if the auto is real i sent it in care of the bulls in 88, basketball wasn't even that collected back then.

I have 2 Jordan's that I got TTM back around the same time. I don't think they are autopen because they have differences & the size of each are different.

I'm the same as you though, for the price they want to authenticate it I don't know that it's worth it.

I'd post a scan but it's at my parents house which is like 1000 miles away but you could tell the pen changed speeds or at least got thiner in parts but I guess and auto pen could do that. I'm heading to my parents in march i'll grab it then and post a scan in a few months

I haven't ever submitted any for authentication before. When they have the $10 specials, is it applicable to all players or are some guys more? Does anyone usually have a group submission?

I have a couple cards I'd like to submit but don't want to pay the $20 per.

Thanks

what are JSA/BGS' s prices compared to PSA/DNA's prices? Do u guys not like JSA? Would you rather have it PSA/DNA instead?

Both appear to be $20. I'm not sure if JSA/BGS has specials on auto authentication or not. I am interested in either depending on the price.
