Opinion - 100 Percent Authentics
I have a couple items in my collection as well as have been seeing an increasing amount of items authenticated as game used by 100percentauthentics. This got me thinking, how reputable is this company?
I would be interested in hearing other people's perspective on the company and how credible they really are.
Thanks in advance.

same address as American Memorabilia. I am always weary of items that are authenticated by an auction house as opposed to a third party authenticator. There is a conflict of interest when as auction house authenticates an item they are auctioning off or if they replace an original LOA with there own LOA.
My two cents.Regards,

My opinion is 100% has some credibility. I didn't say they're totally reliable. They've made errors and the parent company American Memorabilia has had its well publicized issues, but history has shown the 100% LOA to often be accurate.

In short, if you look at the LOAs themselves, they've generally been reliable.
Errors? Yes. 'Colorful' company history? Yes. But if you look at the LOAs themselves, they've generally been reliable.

Funny to see supporters for these letters.
Didn't Lou Lampson often sign 100% Authentic letters?
Like anything, do your own homework and don't reply on a letter 100%.

I think it depends on which authenticator handled the item, and what the item was. Denny Eskin on a baseball glove? Rock solid. Lampson on a recent baseball jersey? Not so much.
