Questions about auto authentication

[scla6986]

Although I try not to buy unauthenticated auto's from ebay I had to pick this up http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I want to send in the auto's (Ace and King) for authentication but I have a few questions that should make me look dumb. I hope someone can give me a bit of help or even point out something I might have overlooked. I don't care too much about the Espo since his auto's are a bit more common. I just want to point out that these auto's are staying with me to be passed down to my son so if I ask about value I mean rare or unique this is for bettering my collection and not my bank account but I will refer to this as "value".

1. Does size count? YES LOL (my gf wrote that pay no attention). These auto's are bigger then what you'd find on cards. Cards being usually 1-2 inches across. Clancy is slightly over two but Ace is like three and a half. Would that have any impact?

2. Are these auto's better left in one piece and should I have them cut from the book?

3 Is there a way to get them authenticated and framed with a picture?

4 Best company to go through for authentication?

5 Any ideas other then framing with a picture or just cutting and slabbing them?

Any help on any of the questions would be great, thanks everyone and happy collecting.

I would'nt cut the autos I would just keep the program with the autos.
