Autograph authentication for sell. PSA or BECKETT?
7 items Autograph authentication for sell.
PSA/DNA $ 1,128.50
BECKETT $ 1,195.00
Which company would you choose?

There are 2 more items.
I gave up on authenticating this.
The reason is because Jim Morrison's signature looks like fake (authentication fee $300 :'( )
Janis Joplin autograph is too blurry.
I would really appreciate your opinion on this.

Beckett is the preferred one, than PSA.

Can an autograph grading service increase my selling price?
Autograph grading for Jordan, QUEEN, Simon & Garfunkel costs several hundred dollars. Is it worth it?

bronzemat

Honestly, it depends. Are you sure what you have are real? Jordan & Queen, it might be worth it, Simon & Garfunkel?, I don't know.

It's a gamble that only you want to see if it's worth risking. Me and several other posts here I talked to have seen autographs sell, get graded, and then end up selling for less than what they originally did, OR, they only made a very small profit, after ebay fees, shipping, grading fees and so on.

And I personally can't help authenticate any of those bands/player.

It all depends. If you pay the fees and it comes back not authenticated then you are out hundreds of dollars. If you get lucky and it passes then it’s much easier to sell an authenticated autograph than one that is not authenticated. So before sending anything in try and see if those autographs are likely authentic or forgeries. You can weed out the likely fake ones first then only send the ones that seem authentic and see what Beckett or PSA says.

Personally I am not familiar with any of those autographs so I can’t help you with if they are likely authentic or forgeries. I would try and compare these to known in person examples and see how they compare. If they seem off then you saved yourself the money of sending them in for authentication.

Are you talking about authentication or grading? Authentication will increase marketability and maybe price. Grading of an autograph on top of authentication is a waste of money in my opinion.

Also, I am not sure all the things you've shown are real.

For example, the ending "y" on Brian May and Freddie Mercury on the Queen album look to me like they were signed by the same person.

Some services offer Quick Opinions online. You might consider starting with those for some of them.

Thank you so much for your detailed opinion. I will follow your advice and check online first. Is ACOA good? Or?

ACOA is respected but I feel like Beckett and PSA are better.

A couple random thoughts...

Quick Opinions are not the same as formal authentications, but they can be useful in getting an idea how the formal submissions might go.

Also, if anyone wants to put an authentication sticker on your item, please think carefully before allowing that. Many collectors hate those stickers.
