I have been autograph collecting since the early 90's. Thanks for the tips, but I think I've got this.
Have a nice day.
And yet you STILL trust PSA/DNA ? Comical. Congrats on the longevity of your collecting, I've been at it since 1992 myself, had some good times. Of course, the best bit of that comment is that you think they can see something else in it that you can't. If you've been collecting that long, you should have the skill to ID things just as well as they can. With a squiggle like that, it's hard for anyone to claim either way, regardless of skill, so in that case I do believe it's a total waste of time. And that's before you consider the stories circulating about authenticated signatures from some of these companies. With Anna, there's a LOT of quick turnaround signatures from her out on the net, I'd be wary of it personally, as the amount of mail she must get makes it dubious. You never know your luck though...
