This March American Memorabilia Will Offer An Ultra-Rare, Authentic, Beatles Signed Baseball
In recent years, the price of authentic Beatles' autographs has escalated to new heights, affordable only to the most affluent devotees. The fans that were fortunate enough to capture the signatures of the "Fab Four," especially during their touring years of 1963-1966, had no idea that they were making a sound financial investment. Experts predicted, at that time, that The Beatles were a passing fad -- so much for the pundits. Click here for more details.
PSA SPORTSCARD HISTORY
 The Goudey Gum Company Archives
The 1933 and 1934 Goudey "Big League" sets are universally recognized as the most important bubble gum cards ever issued. In order for Goudey to officially copyright these cards, they were required to submit them to the United States Copyright Office. The unique nature of these "copyright submission" cards is further highlighted by the fact that they were all originally hand cut. Click here to read more.

PSA Q & A
Question:
Why are signed, cancelled checks rising in value so much lately?
Answer:
Checks are very collectible of a few key reasons. First, they are easy to display. Second, they are a great way to obtain an authentic signature without breaking the bank so to speak. Third, checks represent a type of autographed collectible that makes for set or theme collecting like the original inductees of the HOF (Ruth, Mathewson, Cobb, Johnson and Wagner). In fact, since the market is so strong, PSA will be unveiling a new, check holder for those who want to either simply authenticate and protect their check or for those who want the autograph graded. Please check for details soon.
