Photo-Matching

Impeccable Provenance

Having the ability to place a bat or glove in game action with the player is the goal of all collectors. The captured image establishes impeccable provenance as to the use of the bat or glove by the player in addition to an exponential value increase. As a compliment to our authentication services, we are pleased to offer collectors a photo matching option with the submission of their game used bat or glove. We utilize various photo resources which provide high definition imagery and game film as well as our vast database of vintage photography, capturing the players in game action from the Golden Age of the game.

Photo matching on current day bats is becoming a common request. Matched bats demand prices, depending on the bat and event it is matched to, in multiples of established market prices. Vintage bats of Hall of Famers see even more dramatic increases in value. The goal of PSA is to provide collectors with the strongest foundation of authenticity for professional model game used bats and gloves. PSA’s letter of authenticity provides the confidence collectors demand from the nation’s leading authentication and grading company.
