PSA Launches Jumbo Holders for Photos, Documents

By

PSA has launched a new line of oversized, encapsulated “jumbo holders” to not only assist collectors with preserving and authenticating signed and unsigned original photos, but also important documents boasting signatures and historical significance.  The company is debuting the product line at the 2018 National Sports Collectors Convention in Cleveland.

“The new holders are being integrated into our autograph encapsulation and original photograph services,” said PSA President Steve Sloan. “They will enable us to encapsulate a wider variety of collectibles for collectors, specifically original photographs and autographed 8x10s.”

PSA’s new Jumbo Holders can house Type 1 photos like this 8×10 that was taken for HOF QB Joe Namath’s 1965 Topps rookie card.

PSA will utilize its established red labels on all original photos, whether signed or unsigned. Autographed photos that are not classified as original photographs as well as autographed documents will receive PSA’s blue label. Depending on the content, the labels will include callouts ranging from photo genre and photo type to the primary signer’s name and an authentic designation. A unique certification number will be assigned to every photo holder and/or document holder encapsulation, and descriptions will be applied when appropriate.

The outer dimensions of each holder will be the same: 9.73” wide by 13.21” high by 0.322” thick. The insert sizes, however, will vary depending upon the item that is being encapsulated, and will include the standard inner size of 8.5” x 11” as well as 8.5” x 10.5,” 7.5” x 9.5” and 6.25” x 8.25.”

Hand-written letter from Ruth. Inner size measures 5.25” wide x 8.25” tall.

The retail pricing for each encapsulation will be $30, not including the autograph authentication where applicable. However, a special introductory encapsulation rate of $20 is being offered at the NSCC.

More information is available at www.PSAcard.com/services via the Autograph Encapsulation and Original Photo Authentication pages.
