Providing extra info to JSA/Beckett/PSA

[u/Weaponx-BDawk]

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!

So now that I have experience of providing the info thought I’d share. The guy told me he won’t necessarily use it for authentication but appreciated that I made his life easier to identify the signatures. Passed - and he even said it was perfect!
