What Darren Rovell was saying about autograph authentications a month ago

I'm reporting with @Mark_Schlabach that FSU is looking into Jameis Winston autographs that have been authenticated.

James Spence, owner of authentication firm JSA, says he is "very confident" that 900+ Winston signatures company looked at are real.

Seems legit, I guess.

Authenticator says Winston autographs are, in his company's opinion, legit. Is the next move for Jameis to say they're not real?

@nolesq thats exactly why people pay extra to have it authenticated by JSA.

Paying more makes things 11% more authentic

@RickJones64 correct. They authenticate 400K pieces a year. Does Jameis complete every pass?

This, this is just a terrible analogy.

@darrenrovell @mfwakefield bad analogy. No one expects a QB to be better than. 99% accurate. Authentication biz should be or it's worthless.

And many on twitter recognized it as such.

@dannykanell 1. JSA is top 2 in authentication biz. 2. They get enough right to stay on top.

@Worthy1ne @madseminole again if they get too many wrong, they lose their biz. If these Winston's are fake, they will lose ton of biz.
