If you’ve always wondered whether that treasured autograph you own is for real, here’s your chance to get a professional opinion on it.

Dallas-area collectors can have their autographed items authenticated and/or slabbed by James Spence Authentication this Saturday (July 2) at the Beckett Media headquarters.

The open house event also will allow collectors to drop off cards for grading by Beckett Grading Services beginning at 10 a.m. and running until 3 p.m.

BGS will be providing full grading, raw or graded card review as well as take submissions to be returned at a later date.

Fees vary by service, item and turnaround time, but autographs that are merely authenticated can be received in-slab the same day.

Address:
Beckett Media
4635 McEwen Rd
Dallas, TX 75244
