PSA Authentication

in Autographs Forum
I have several potentially valuable literary autographs (Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, Stephen Crane, Herman Melville, and others) that I want to get authenticated. There are no dealers in my state, and the PSA website is a bit confusing as to how to go about submitting items. Any suggestions? If the autographs are not legit I would like to know. If they are real, I've got a pretty valuable collection.

    Do you have scans? There are some very experienced collectors here that could probably help judge the authenticity.

    I have the scans, but I guess I don't know how to correctly attach them.

    If you want to email the scans to me, I can post the pictures for others to see and hopefully you can get some input about the signatures. My email address is rcover213@yahoo.com
