PSA Opening East Coast Office

In order to better meet the increasing needs of collectors and dealers in the eastern United States, especially those in autograph collecting, Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA/DNA) Authentication Services will open an office in Woodbridge, New Jersey this summer.

In person submissions will be accepted by appointment at the New Jersey office. All other items that are submitted by mail to PSA will still need to be directed to the California office unless pre-approved by the staff.

The new office is centrally located between New York City and Philadelphia. PSA has seen increased popularity and need of certified autographs on the East Coast. This new location will provide an extra avenue for patrons to use and will improve turnaround times on submissions.

Only autographs will be processed at the New Jersey office. Other items such as trading cards, tickets, photographs, sports memorabilia and game used items will be accepted at the office but examined at the California location.

PSA will relocate some of the company's California employees, but also plans to hire additional from the area.

Is the selfie the new autograph?

By Brent Briggeman Advertisement Every time a fan pulls out a phone and asks Michael McKenry to pose for a selfie, it makes him laugh. It reminds the Rockies catcher of "The Goonies," where one of the young characters created a device that holds the camera out in front of him. "When you think about it, he's the one who invented the selfie stick," McKenry said of the kid in the 1985 film. "And it took all this time for technology to catch up." Technology has caught up, all right. Roughly 100 million selfies are taken daily according to a study from Google, those making up part of the nearly 900 billion photos snapped in a year according to Agence France-Presse. The Internet is filled with surveys that tell what your...
