Honestly no matter who passes that any buyer will have serious doubts; really serious. If you got it yourself IP at a signing does it really matter if you get a COA? I have tons of "valuable" signatures from IP events but never bother with having them authenticated. IMO if it's for your own enjoyment, and you know 100000% you saw the person sign it with your own two eyes; who cares about a COA?
PSA/DNA seems to be viewed as the go to guys, but they have passed tons of crap as real and real stuff has been rejected. Any "authenticator" is going to have a history of making the wrong call. You have to realize they are a business, they get paid to authenticate your item; they want it to be real as much as you do.
