Newbie question - Autograph Submission

BostonAmericans

I have a Wade Boggs autograph inside the 1982 (or maybe 1983) Red Sox yearbook. I want to get the autograph authenticated (I know its real - I got it at a card show in 1983). Do I submit the entire yearbook, or just the page? Common sense tells me to send in the entire book to maintain the integrity of the document, but I do not know of any arcane rules regarding submissions.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

It was from the 1982.


BTW - In 1982 - Lower Box seats to Fenway were $7.50. Now - $135.

You should send in the whole book...but seriously, if you know it's good, and you got it in person, why do you want to pay $20 to get a $10-15 autograph authenticated? You aren't paying for a guarantee, just an opinion.

I would think down the line you could get int authenticated at a show PSA is set up at. It sounds as though there is a lot of sentimental value attached to it. What did Boggs auto cost back then?

If my memory serves me correctly, it was $4. I am thinking about what I want to do with it. I have about 10K cards (see my signature) that I am going to sell (already have one batch submitted to PSA and working on the second) and I have a bunch of other memorabilia that I am thinking of dusting off and hanging on the wall, this included.

Thanks for your answers. I am new to the whole authentication/grading process and curious how it all works.

I wouldn't send that in. Save your money.

Agree, the items doesn't have enough value to warrant a submission.

Don't send it in to PSA ... the auto inside the Yearbook is not really worth too much ... use that money toward a nice frame to put it in when you hang it on your wall.

Now if you had Margo Adams sign that page, then you'd have something..............
