Over the years, I’ve had a LOT of encounters with Mark Hamill… and his attitude toward autograph seekers was always interesting 👀 Especially when money wasn’t involved. 💸⚔️

Yet another forgery passed through PSA. These cards were never signed nor returned to Fleer. Notice the card is not numbered. The cards were auctioned off unsigned in 2010 by REA (Sy Berger collection). And yes, its in a PSA holder, not PSA/DNA @CardPurchaser @PSAcard

In 2009, I saw Sean Connery one final time in Beverly Hills… and trying to get his autograph turned into one of the FUNNIEST experiences ever. 😳😂

In March I documented rmcxtysadyk: 10,000+ eBay sales, $1M+ estimated volume, and 4,000+ compromised @beckettcollect -style cert numbers added to @CheckCOA.
That post reached a lot of collectors, and Cardlines / @SportsCardRadio covered it.
This new account looks like the same factory trying a new storefront.

There is no way that for certed, and it’s way after I left. WtF?

@PSAcard @natsturner guys what are we doing here? @Steve_Grad what happened once you left?!

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve reviewed the items, and they are indeed counterfeit fake autographs with @Beckett-style stickers. They’ll be added to the @CheckCOA database tomorrow during the day.

How Fake Memorabilia Accounts Work Around eBay Controls
I have been watching a pattern on eBay accounts with little or no real selling history in sports memorabilia that looks designed to work around the internal controls $eBay uses for low-history sellers.
The pattern is not complicated. That is why it is dangerous.
This does not make the seller look trustworthy to a human buyer. The likely goal is to work around @eBay's internal risk scoring, new-seller limits, or category controls.

I have had this Wayne Gretzky case sitting in my draft folder for about a week. I kept meaning to write it up, but today @Steve_Grad dropped a new #Gretzky autograph video, and the timing is too relevant to ignore.
This is exactly the kind of case @CheckCOA was built for.
English
Thanks for all the great work you do. The hobby needed this

This is why I value access to real specialists. Shawn has focused on Gretzky autographs for 40+ years and authenticates Gretzky for @goatauthentics. @Steve_Grad new video adds the broader industry view: era, mail returns, autopen, and modern signing context all matter. Video: youtube.com/watch?v=CY9ImH… The best fakes do not always come with fake COAs. Sometimes they come with real slabs and misplaced trust. For your protection, all the certificates shown above have already been added to the @CheckCOA Fraud Alert database. #WayneGretzky #TheHobby #PSA #Beckett #CheckCOA #FakeAutographs

Here's another fake Luka that @CGCCards authenticated, and is currently listed on @eBay

The Certificate of this @CGCCards Graded Fake Luka Auto Card is still Alive.

That one I don’t have an answer to

@Steve_Grad, this is exactly the issue. If Jordan signed jerseys with small cert cards are guaranteed fake, why are these @PSAcard and @beckettcollect numbers still live in the databases? I added these examples just today. Active cert lookups give scammers credibility. Why not disable or flag high-risk Jordan certs?
English
Also keep in mind if someone is selling a Jordan signed jersey with a small cert card it’s a guaranteed fake. Beckett and PSA have never done small cert cards on his autograph

Note to all: don’t buy Michael Jordan autographs unless it’s been verified by a top guy like Steve Grad. A sticker on eBay means jack. Stop it. It’s not a good deal or a fair deal. It’s just a bad idea.

That’s older kid is pulling a move called “over the top”

The Brooklyn Boys have made their way to the hotel in Philly. Tunnel Culture and sitting patiently in Team Hotel lobbies go hand in hand!

That’s a very old Psa cert and is prob real (unless it’s a DiMaggio ball)

@_E7VH @Steve_Grad I’d have to go back into the store tomorrow but this is what @dacardworld has as the COA!

It’s very sad to see this happen but in my heart of hearts I feel the work you’re doing is amazing. I am grateful

Glad RR Auction handled it. Unfortunately, because of the flood of fakes, auction prices for athletes like Messi with a Beckett sticker have dropped 50-60%. But for those who actually do the research and verify the certs, it opens up new opportunities. I recently found this #Messi auto with a Beckett sticker that looked good to me. The listing didn't mention an LOA, but I ran the cert through @CheckCOA - it turned out to have full LOA certification with a photo match in the database. I won it at auction for just $407. It just proves that people don’t check certificates, and legit items get lost in the mass of fakes. The actual market price for these jerseys with a full LOA is around $1,500.

Something to keep in mind about Babe Ruth is that was inconsistently inconsistent within the perimeter of his know signature. That is real. Ugly yes, but Ruth signed that
