A certificate of authenticity from James Spence Authentication will accompany this priceless piece of sports memorabilia. ABOUT THE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY: The Basic Cert Program Popular among dealers and collectors alike, the Basic Cert employs the same valued authentication process to verify autographed items. Included with the Basic Cert program is a 3" x 5" James Spence Authentication registration card printed with a unique certification number corresponding to the alpha-numeric tamper evident label. Of course, similar to the Premium Letter of Authenticity each certification number is uploaded into the JSA database for 24-hour customer verification access. All Basic Cert cards are fully transferable without resubmission. The Certification Process Each item is methodically examined and reviewed individually by each of JSA's authenticators to ensure their expert instinctive impressions are in agreement. This intuitive sense has been developed after many years of examining thousands of autographs. The expert is extremely familiar with many different variations and evolution of an individual's signature and can quickly identify irregularities evident in a clubhouse, secretarial, or forged signature. Second, the expert more closely examines each and every component and letter of an autograph, paying close attention to characteristics such as signature flow, style, spontaneity, letter angle, etc. In most cases, this process performed separately by each authenticator will quickly eliminate the vast majority of non-authenticate autographs. In cases where closer examination is required, James Spence Authentication employs a high-technology authentication tool to reinforce the expert's findings. The Video Spectral Comparator is a powerful workstation designed to examine questionable documents and autographs using sophisticated color and infrared imaging, magnification, coaxial lighting, side lighting, and on-screen, side-by-side or overlaid autograph comparisons. The VSC detects erasures, reveals masked and obliterated signatures, differences in ink types, and several other features useful for autograph forgery detection. The authenticators then collaborate and employ a scoring system for the final determination of an item's authenticity. Certified items are then given a registration number and the tamper-evident label is applied to either the item itself. Items that fail JSA's strict examination standards for certification are returned with a failure letter detailing the inconsistencies. James Spence has the universal respect and approval of auctioneers, dealers, and collectors worldwide with his accurate authentication expertise.
