Re: Some Good Info For Autograph Collectors
Pre-90's rookie cards I got signed in person and through mail-order. These are the only cards I collect, in fact I am looking to sell my entire collection of everything else.
I believe psa dna will outlast the jsa/bgs partnership, so I would rather get my cards certified by psa dna, but some of my cards would receive high grades as would the autos on them, so it's unfortunate that psa dna doesn't offer that service.

Re: Some Good Info For Autograph Collectors
I'm not sure if they previously did, but I called them to find out if they do that now and the response was no, they only grade either the auto or card. The rep didn't have a reason, and it seemed like she thought there would be no good reason for not being able to grade both.
On another note, I believe autograph alert took the uda stickers off the items, so jsa didn't know they were uda. Jsa would never say they failed the items because they were authenticated by morales. Instead, they would simply say the autographs examined didn't match known exemplars for the reasons listed on the rejection letters. If anything in the article is true, it's a pathetic situation.

Isn't this a graded auto card?

Re: Some Good Info For Autograph Collectors
Yes, the condition of the card is graded an 8, but the autograph is not graded. If the auto were graded, it would say "auto grade only" but since it doesn't say that, the grade is for the condition of the card itself.
If the card and auto were both graded, there would be two separate grades, like the jsa/bgs holders have for their auto and card grading service. I've never seen an auto card certified by psa dna with two separate grades for the auto and card condition.

Grading an auto is pretty subjective.Greg

Re: Some Good Info For Autograph Collectors
I don't know why you would need an autograph grade for an in-person autograph, but that is just my opinion only.

Re: Some Good Info For Autograph Collectors
Indeed, especially on older sigs a high grade will fetch much more.
Greg, yes they are still doing the service your gretzky got. However, I believe all signed cards go through psa dna even if you just want the card graded and not the auto authentication because you got it in person. I think if someone sends a signed card to psa it will automatically go through psa dna and if the auto is deemed not authentic, they won't slab it even if all you wanted was the card to be graded.
Makes sense to do it that way, otherwise it would cause confusion among collectors who see the card slabbed and automatically think the auto is genuine.
