Is PSA DNA Authentication worth it?

[J-Wonder4]

I'm considering getting three items authenticated by PSA DNA Authentication. Will this increase the value? I'm not a seller, but I prefer it when my items are worth more (just a personal preference). For instance, I hate it when my items are personalized because that decreases the value even though I don't intend on selling it. The first one is a glossy 8" x 10" photo signed by Adam West. It's a really cool one because he wrote "Quick! To the Batmobile!" It would cost $20 to get that one authenticated. The second one (my favorite autograph yet) is signed by Dave Grohl (now lead singer of the Foo Fighters) and Krist Novoselic, both formerly of Nirvana. This one would cost $50 to get authenticated. The third is a glossy 5" x 7" photo signed by Tommy Ramone (original drummer of The Ramones and the last surviving original member). In the picture, the one on the right, in the frame is the one I would send in. This one will cost $20. Click the link below to look at the pics:

Which ones (if any) should I get authenticated, and is PSA DNA reliable? Thanks!

99% of the time PSA DNA is reliable. they have had some mistakes.
I don't know if it will increase the value, as the value is usually set by how rare or popular the person is you have signed. But it will mark it as authentic so if you do decide to sell, you can assure your buyer that a neutral 3rd party verified the signature to be real.

as far as which?
that is totally up to you

Its quite a big amount to have them authenticated?

When I have bought autographs I would never buy an authenticated item with one of those horrible hollogram stickers, detracting from the item itself. I just do my research. just my opinion

Here is a site that offers discount PSA/DNA Authentication starting at $12. He gets the deal because of the amount of stuff he sends in, and I can have used it before, and its not a scam.

I was thinking the same thing about 24 hours ago, but decided to save the money and look up autograph samples on google images for my TTM's. I am not a seller, and at the end of things, if YOU think its authentic, as long as your not putting it up in the market, It is authentic and the value is up in your mind.

Why spend money for Adam..? His are real.
That would be a waste of money.

This was the one I get like in 2007-08 ISH...
It matches!
