Baden size 5 futball (soccer ball) signed in blue marker by the greatest to ever play the game… The autograph did not adhere perfectly to the slick surface of the ball, as pictured. Signed at an official private autograph session. Do a little research. Find out who you are purchasing from. If it is too good to be true… Chances are it is fake. Don’t take a risk when investing. Don’t treat your memorabilia investment any differently. Rock’n’Roll and Hollywood memorabilia is VERY hard to come by. Someone with the wherewithal to authenticate a piece knows what it is worth. There is not a respected dealer in the business who has multiples of these types of pieces. Real dealers have long waiting lists on the high end pieces… They won’t be sitting on big inventories. Search for information about them on Google and draw your own conclusion. Use your brain, educate yourself, and enjoy collecting! – The Autograph Source Aspen. ABOUT THE AUTOGRAPH SOURCE.

The provenance of each piece is the most important thing. If the provenance is impeccable, then we move on to authentication of the piece or signature. If any part of the equation does not add up, we simply do not deal with the piece. We offer a Certificate Of Authenticity, which is a lifetime guarantee that the piece is real, with every piece. A Certificate Of Authenticity is only as good as the company that issues it. Our reputation is impeccable, and our letter means something. Different items are sourced in different ways, and we are always happy to discuss this topic. It is the most important facet of our business. ABOUT JAMES SPENCE AUTHENTICATION (JSA).
