PSA will host former MLB All-Star and NFL Pro Bowler Bo Jackson as part of its Autograph Series later this summer, where submissions from collectors will be signed at the company’s headquarters.
After Jackson signs the items, PSA will authenticate and encapsulate the collectibles and ship them back to the collector.
The deadline for submissions to be received at PSA’s headquarters is June 13. PSA will also be offering a public drop-off day, the details of which will be announced on social media.
Eligible items include Funko Pops, trading cards, photos, and prints up to 8.5-by-11 inches.
Inscriptions are not available and pen color and signature placement are “at the discretion of the signer.”
Ineligible items include collectibles pre-signed by others, black unstitched jersey numbers, jerseys with carer statistics, Heisman Trophy replicas, items that use the bat-on-shoulder-pads photo (such as the 1989 Panini Score card), items that reference the “Tecmo Bowl” video game and items that reference or are connected to Cam Newton or Pat Sullivan.
The turnaround time is 20 business days after the signing, according to PSA.
For encapsulation charges, it will cost $199 per card, $229 per jumbo item and $229 per Funo Pop!
Autograph grading is an extra $15. Jackson charged $203 at last year's National.
Jackson has been a frequent signer over the years, with autographs available at in-person events as well as through the major trading card manufacturers.
The private signing is the latest iteration of PSA's Autograph Series, which recently featured Digimon co-creator Kenji Watanabe.
