An autograph that is not authenticated by a creditable company could sell at half the market value or less. Two of the top, and most trusted authenticators are PSA/DNA, and James Spence Authentic (JSA). Collectors will pay more for signatures authenticated by either one. It may sound odd but in some cases PSA/DNA, and JSA authenticated signatures may sell higher than a Letter of authenticity from an unknown or less trusted authenticator that witnessed the signing even though PSA/DNA, and JSA did not. It's just a matter of collectors trust, and collectors will pay more for it.

How do you get a coa on a college autograph?

When a company like PSA/DNA authenticates a signature they use sample of the player's signature to compare with, and analyze. A College ball player would most likely be on file, and would most likely not be able to be authenticated, unless at a later date the ball player makes it to the big Leagues. The only other option would be to have it signed in the presence of, and authenticated in person.


How do you know if a certificate of authenticity is for your autograph baseball?

First determine if the signature is hand written or a facsimile or stamped signature. A preprint, or facsimile is simply a photographic copy of an original signed photograph. A preprint signature often appears to be below the surface gloss of the photo, and the signature is often very "flat." Hold the photo up at an angle to a light source. A real signature is written on the surface of the photo, and should have a different level of reflectivity than the rest of the surface. A preprint will blend right in with the surface because it's underneath the surface gloss. With a stamped signature baseball the ink would be too consistent. When you sign your name, you use different angles, and pressure as you sign. This is more evident when signing with sharpie. Some parts of the signature will be darker, or lighter depending on the pressure you put on the pen, or sharpie. With a stamped signature it is usually all the same density, and thickness. When you cross a "T", or at the end of your signature you might tail off as you come off the page. A stamped signature might start, and end with no variation at all. Once you have determined that the signature is hand signed and not a facsimile, compare the signature on line with other signatures that have been properly authenticated. This will also help you determine if the signature is hand signed or a facsimile. If you find signatures that are exactly the same with no variation then chances are it is a copy. If you feel comfortable that the signature could be authentic then have the signature authenticated by a professional company. An autograph that is not authenticated by a creditable company could sell at half the price or less than one that is. Two of the top, and most trusted authenticators are PSA/DNA, and James Spence Authentic (JSA). Collectors will pay more for signatures authenticated by either one.

But before spending money on having the autograph authenticated do your homework.


What is the value of an Adam Jones autograph?

An Adam Jones single signed baseball is worth approximately $70 if it is on a Rawlings Official Major League baseball and is signed on the "sweet spot". This value assumes that it is authenticated by a reputable company. An autograph that isn't properly authenticated can be worth as little as half of the value of an authenticated signature. For more autograph values, see related links.
