HOCKEY GAME USED recommended authenticator?

[KGoldin]

Does the group have a consensus on who or what company does the best job authenticated hockey game used memorabilia? Please break down into three categories

1. STICKS
2. UNIFORMS
3. ALL OTHER equipment.

feel free to post, or to email me at ken@goldinauctions.com

basically, if you are buying vintage items that are NOT directly from the player, who would you want to have examined the item? Keep in mind, i am specifically refering to NON PLAYER and NON LEAGUE provenance items (assume pre 1987)

thanks
