How long does it take to authenticate an autograph and is that a factor in FHAs authentication fees?
Some autographs are easier, thus less time-consuming to authenticate than others. Sometimes an authentication opinion is reached within a couple of minutes and sometimes it can take much longer. There is no set amount of time that each authentication takes. By limiting my authentication opinions to those names with First-Hand experience, many decisions are reached fairly quickly. Authentication fees are based primarily upon the value of the signature as opposed to the amount of time spent on the authentication.
