James J. Spence, III

Vice President

A fourth generation autograph collector, James J. Spence III, has been exposed to autographs his entire life. While growing up in Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania, he consistently did the national show circuit with his father. This experience provided him with a great working knowledge of autographs and the hobby. He began working full time for JSA following his graduation from the University of Pittsburgh with a BA in Finance and Economics.

His passion for autographs and knowledge of the industry has made him a valuable member of the JSA staff.  Some of his favorite autographs to collect include band signed 90’s alternative record albums, New York Yankees, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Panthers and the finest Arnold Schwarzenegger collection known to man.   When he’s not comparing autographs to JSA’s exemplar database, James enjoys golfing, surfing, traveling with his family and has mastered the art of manual coffee brewing.  James III currently directs JSA's first expansion office in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
