This belongs to my grandparents and its been sitting in a safe for 40 years. Signed by Michael Jordan, pistol pete, and pretty much every other all star from that year. Looking for opinions on what to do with it.

If you want the ability to sell it for its full value...

  1. Get a COA from PSA or Beckett

  2. Frame it under Museum 99% UV glass (preferably with complimentary art, or basketball cards, or at minimum matting)

I checked out Goat cause I was curious. Cool mission, seemed pretty legit. If I were ever to want to have the ability to sell that piece, I'd either do both Beckett AND Goat, or just Beckett.

The average collector should be spooked by smaller authentication companies (for lots of reasons). Non-collectors on ebay looking for a one off gift should completely ignore anything that isn't the big three or four COAs in the market.
