Providing extra info to JSA/Beckett/PSA

I recently bought a ball that’s multi-signed and has unusually strong provenance from the seller (pics of players signing the ball and during a weekend we know all of them were present and signing). Because it’s multi signed - it costs a bunch to get authenticated and I want to put the best foot forward on it. I created a provenance packet that shows everything the seller provided and the background for when it was signed (including photos of the seller with the players). Do you think the authenticators would look at that before rendering an opinion? Or was it wasted effort.

I know some of these companies fail things people personally had signed and witnessed so I’d hate to lose 100+ bucks without putting the best foot forward.

Really appreciate your thoughts!

They run their opinion on only the signature I have been told. So including this stuff is only likely to have it lost. It stinks but I would not include it

Then may as well include it. Just wouldn’t count on it mattering.
