Jsa "Stamp of Approval" Anyone ever use it ?

tennesseebanker

Anyone ever use the James Spence "Stamp of Approval " for authenticating autographs ? Seems like a decent deal.They put the James Spence stamp or sticker on the back of your card for $4 bucks. I have a lot of cards that just wouldnt justify a Loa fee of $20 to $30 bucks.

I am not comfortable sticking things onto cards;
even inexpensive cards.

BUT, it seems like a reasonable-price alternative.

I have and no problems.

never used it, but I believe the items need to have a value of no more than $25

I have a lot of autographed cards that I keep in binders, thought about getting this done on them. for the ones with a greater than $25 value I would have to get the basic Loa from them or Psa/Dna.Thanks to everyone for all the info.

Wasnt JSA the one that the reporter had "exposed" on a news report about authenticating fraudulent autos?

I seem to remember that they went undercover with hidden cameras at a show and bought some 8x10 photos of one of the players who would be sigining autos that day and they went out to their news van, videotaped the reporter signing them and she went in and had them authenticated. They spent all of about 5 seconds looking at each one and giving either a stamp or certificate guaranteeing the authenticity of the autos. Later when questioned about the incident, they said that it was an "error" and that isnt their usual policy.

One has to wonder, if this was JSA, how many autos have been done the same way especially with their partnering with Beckett

I have never tried the JSA sticker, but do have a few cards that have psa dna stickers on the back. They are fine with me!

Do they provide a scan with the number, or what would prevent someone taking a sticker off a real auto and put it on a fake?

Isn't it one of those stickers that gets destroyed whenever it is tampered with?

putting a sticker on a card to prove authenticity.
1/2 the time those clowns dont know their ass from their elbows.
