I think i may want to start sending my Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz bats to a authenticator.Which should i choose?PSA,Mears,or Grey Flannel(do they even authenticate bats?)?Any insight would be much appreciated.

I would use John Taube for your bats... He is very through and will do a good job.
Hello Jon,
I agree with Frank's opinion. In addition, I highly recommend Vince Malta (who authenticates with John Taube at PSA/DNA) and Mike Specht who currently authenticates for Global and regularly contributes to this site. If you are looking for a thorough analysis that discloses the information you need to make an informed decision about a bat being game used, I would highly recommend those three.
Sincerely,

John Taube does an exceptional job with a quality COA complete with quaility pictures of the bat. John now for an extra fee can also grade your bats on a 10 point scale.

Vince and John are great. Dave Bushing at MEARS knows a lot about bats, as well. Grey Flannel uses PSA/DNA (Malta/Taube), I believe.
I want to reiterate Chris' suggestion of Mike Specht, though. Mike sometimes gets overlooked because his services are not as well known as those of PSA/DNA and MEARS, but you'd be hard-pressed to find someone better. He goes by username MSpecht on GUF. Good luck.

Always looking for top NBA game worn items of superstar and Hall-of-Fame-caliber players (especially Kobe, LeBron, MJ, Curry and Durant). Also looking for game worn items of all players from special events (e.g., All Star Game, NBA Finals, milestone games, etc.). Please contact me at gameusedequip2@hotmail.com. Thank you.
So if i choose to go with John Taube do i just submit through PSA/DNA?Or do i have to contact him directly?Thanks for the help guys.
