PSA/DNA "authenticated" before being

    Any chance it's signed on the back?

    If it is, I would think a picture of the back would have been provided.

    well, psa/dna also authenticates game used bats and equipment and tickets, so they might be doing photos now.

    Guy...keep in mind this is PRO. They'll put anything on a holder to help their clients. The customer probably asked for it so they gave it.

    There are many fake copies of this Tiger photo floating around so I believe PSA only authenticated that it is a genuine photo since PRO saying it is authentic holds no weight whatsoever.

    so PSA/DNA are simply authenticating that
    it IS in fact a photo or Tiger Woods....

    well, that seems like money well spent!

    ok, still
    Do dealers have to pay someone like PSA DNA for that
    too? I mean that seems a bit crazy!
    Plus, Tiger makes 50 million a year or more,
    what does the average person care if
    it is an "official"photo or whether he got his cut?

    I could TOTALLY see the need for authentification if
    it were a game used or signed item so that you know
    for sure WHERE it came from, but this is a freaking
    photo and that is it.

    what a scam.
