<p>[QUOTE="BaseballGames, post: 588020, member: 7826"]It probably depends somewhat on whose signature you're looking to authenticate. We assume there are authentication services that tend to specialize in specific groups of signatories -- literary, artistic, political, historical, show biz, &c'. JSA (James Spence Authentication) began certifying autographs of sports figures, but has expanded into authenticating signatures by (or purported to be by) almost anyone in any sphere of activity. From what we've read over the years, they're the most prominent autograph authentication service in the States. </p><p><a href="https://www.spenceloa.com/aboutjsa" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.spenceloa.com/aboutjsa" rel="nofollow">https://www.spenceloa.com/aboutjsa</a> </p><p>Note that this not an endorsement -- we've also heard many stories about JSA certifying forgeries as authentic, and rejecting authentic signatures as not convincing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
