    I love the explanation on the clearly authentic Woods flag... hilarious.

    The best discussion about this site:

    http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...ad.php?t=18147

    Funny, Autograph Alert picks on 3rd party authenticators, but they have their own 3rd party authentication company:

    http://paasaa.com/

    http://www.paasautographs.com/

    Or find them on eBay:

    http://shop.ebay.com/pro-authenticat...5. m570.l1313

    So, they rip 3rd party authenticators on one web site, and then offer to authenticate themselves - Another 3rd party authenticator! They don't sign their articles, which is really unprofessional, and then they attack situation after situation, forgetting that many 3rd party authenticators are correct 99.9% of the time, but they love to have a field day with the .1% each and every time.

    Then again, there are a few 3rd party autograph authenticators that are maybe correct 50% of the time. There is a bad standard as there is only one or two good 3rd party authenticators in the industry and the rest are all pretenders.

    As for the current article, I'd be very surprised if there is everything legitimate with JSA really declining to authenticate Upper Deck Authenticated certified autographs. I'd love to see a reasons from JSA, because they are not that stupid and I have a hunch those letters are not original.

    Since no author signs their work on that web site, I take everything they say with a grain of salt and anyone reading it should also.

    what is interesting to me is that if you take note, the majority of these examples took place in 2009 and sooner....why are they finally coming to light in 2011?

    Even if the article doesn't have a name at the end, there looks to be some pretty convincing evidence of unproffesionalism by JSA. The JSA letters look pretty real to me, and why are they putting C Morales in the item type section?

    I've been thinking about sending some auto'd cards to jsa for authentication because they will grade both the auto and card and the Beckett holder is much nicer and protects better, but now I'm reconsidering it and may just send them to PSA/DNA instead. Too bad psa doesn't grade the card and auto, just one or the other. Wonder when they're gonna catch on.

    Just read some of their other articles too, maybe I should avoid psa dna too! . One thing's for sure, I'm definately not sending anything in to PAAS or whatever they're called. I agree, taking it with a grain of salt is probably a good idea.

    Taking into account that this is a competing authenticator, it is still unbelievable that they would dismiss these pieces especially the UDA and their own witnessed in person signatues like the Frazier trunks! I'd be interested to hear their explanation...

    Part of the problem is that no one has asked JSA about the accusations. We know they won't respond to Autograph Alert directly.

    Someone could easily alter their letters, and I'm telling you, I am not friendly with James Spence, but I know he is not a dummy. I find it hard to believe they would ever write a letter questioning an item certified by Upper Deck Authenticated.

    I have no clue if someone altered these letters (photo-shop) to make them work with these items, but JSA isn't stupid enough to fail UDA items, right?

    What kind of cards are you having certified? Cards you had autographed in person or cards pulled from packs autographed?
