Just my own two cents worth, and not to win favour with anyone : PSA/DNA are NOT to be trusted. If you have done any research or reading up on the topic of third party authentication, you will know this..

They have a well documented reputation of accepting dirty money from dealers, to slap a 'certificate of authenticity' on fake items. Andy and Capt.Chaos are absolutely spot on. :neutral:

In my opinion the best thing you can do is compare and decide for yourself if something is authentic or not. Find a few reputable UACC dealers, buy a few books with authentic examples and/or advice on how to authenticate autographs. Learn the differences between pp, ap, secretarials, etc. Then if you still really don't know you can always pay for someones ''opinion". Cause that's all you'll get with PSA/DNA or any other authentication service. Someones "opinion". You can ask isitreal.com or even autographworld.com. Or you can ask on a forum like this one. I personally don't trust PSA/DNA. Too many bad stories, and too many mistakes. The main reason being that some of their employees work directly with certain dealers, or in some cases they even are dealers themselves, which is a major conflict of interest imo. They aren't the best in the business, only the biggest. But I would stay away from them.
