disbo100

Hey folks, I have a few signed items but none are JSA/Beckett certified.

Is it worth the time and expense?

I sent a signed Harrision Ford photo to Beckett 2 months ago and still dont have it back. argggh..

What is this worth these days (ballpark).. with or without the cert?

Shoot me a note here or PM...

thanks for any help.

If you plan on selling it I would get it certified asap.

I don't recall the specifics, but I thought Eli Manning memorabilia was somewhat toxic. As in, you may not be getting what you think you're getting, regardless of what letter or hologram is attached.

Not sure what you mean by toxic?

FBI involved. Fake authenticity, with Manning's involvement. Not really what they say it is. I don't recall specifics, but I'm sure Google will have it.

I think that had to do with questionable game used equipment & his signed letters of authenticity....Nothing with just his autograph per se.

A look at jsa and Beckett football autos, his signature is all over the place. I can’t find two that look alike. But to answer your original question. Sale or authenticate first. If I knew it was real I would do neither in the current market. 30-40 raw 75-150 authenticated. I would wait a decade.
