Looking at picking up some 8x10s and bigger of athletes, and was just wondering if a certain site is used by most and such. Bought a few off ebay recently s just wondering if anywhere is cheaper

Tristar, Mounted memories, JSA, PSA, and Stenier are all legit.

I've been collecting autographs for a long time and typically I try to keep my purchases within Steiner, Mounted Memories, TriStar Productions, or UDA. Those are the big names. However in football you will find some other companies that have some exclusive contracts with some big names, such as GTSM (Brees, Steve Young, LT, etc). Some athletes have their own holograms and COAs as well.
I personally stay away from JSA and PSA unless the authentication was done "on site" (i.e. the piece was signed at a show and witnessed by PSA/JSA). I also will use JSA when buying deceased players who died prior to the existence of the UDAs, Steiners, etc. There are A LOT of bad PSA (and to some degree JSA) autographs floating around out on the web so be careful and do your diligence.

Mounted memories is a legit company. They do signings at the big shows in Chicago.
