PSA Ticket Stub Authentication: Is It Worth It?

Is Professional Grading Worth It?

PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) is the leading authentication service for ticket stubs. They examine the stub's physical characteristics, verify authenticity, assign a condition grade, and encapsulate the stub in a protective holder. PSA authentication costs $30-$150+ depending on the declared value and turnaround time. It's worth it for stubs you believe are worth $200+, as authentication adds buyer confidence and typically increases sale prices by 20-50%. For less valuable stubs, the cost of authentication may not justify the return. StubHaul can advise you on whether authentication makes sense for your specific stubs.
