In this article, PSA President Joe Orlando provides some tips for avoiding the doctored ones. Click here to read on.

Question: I heard that PSA is going to be grading single signed baseballs soon. I am really excited about it but I had one question. Does it matter if the ball is signed on the sweet spot versus the side panel?
Answer: Great question: To PSA -- no. Since we are focusing 100% on the condition of the piece, we are not going to factor the location of the autograph in the grading unless the eye-appeal becomes a major issue. It is true that many people prefer sweet spot versus side panel autographs but that is for the market to decide. It may affect the value but not the grade.
