Authenticated vs. Raw Value

Authentication is essential for Ohtani items due to his high value and growing forgery market. Fanatics, PSA/DNA, JSA, and Beckett are all trusted sources. Items with Japanese-character signatures may require authentication from specialists.

Reference ranges can become stale and do not establish what a specific item is worth. Verify current completed sales for the same signer, item type, condition and documentation before relying on a range. 101 Pre-Screen is not an appraisal.
