PSA Pre-Certified™ Authentication

You may see PSA Pre-Certified™ listed in auction house catalogs and trusted dealer inventories—offering collectors instant assurance.



Keep in mind, the PSA/DNA Pre-Certified logo does not provide any guarantee that the item will pass a formal authentication if sent to our offices but should provide peace of mind knowing that our experts have examined the item previously.

This service is available exclusively for autographs and professional model bats.

How to Upgrade Your Pre-Certified™ Item



If you win a Pre-Certified™ autographed item or professional model bat, you're eligible for a discounted Letter of Authenticity (LOA) upgrade—as long as you submit your item to PSA within 60 days of the auction’s close.


To claim your discount, send your item along with a copy of your auction receipt. (Please note: receipts will not be returned.)
