PSA Photo Match
The Process
Analysis
PSA dives deep to classify your item’s uniquely identifiable attributes.
Research
Knowing what to look for, PSA scours vast visual libraries for positive IDs and historical significance.
Certification
Success is validated by a Photo Match Certificate and a verifiable PSA cert number.
The Certificate
Verifiable Proof
The certificate provides evidentiary, on-the-record reassurance that an item is genuine with dates, details, and licensed photography to support.
Added Value
What’s more appealing: an allegedly game-used Michael Jordan jersey or one that is photo matched to an all-time performance? The difference can be game-changing.
Historical Context
From a guitar played by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock to the sneakers worn in LeBron’s first playoff appearance, each match is a visual link to the past—and potentially a legacy-making moment.

What We Match
Sports memorabilia, movie props, awards, wardrobes, instruments, and items of far greater obscurity. If it came to fame in the age of photography, it’s fair game.

What We Examine
