Here's a pic of the Gretzky signature, any opinions if it's real or not?

Thanks!

I've never heard of that authenticator, but I don't care for the autograph.

Thanks Steve!

I have gotten pm's from 2 members that are good at Gretzky and both think it's probably real (or has a chance of being real), but a very rushed sig...

ABC Memorabilia has a very posh site, but I can't find much (if any) info about them:

Gretzky signs a great autograph. I wouldn't even bother considering one that isn't easy to authenticate and attractive. It will always be in question.

Thanks for the link to the ABC. I've never heard of them. You're right, there's no info: no phone number or address. And they say that the authenticator has authenticated 5,000 autographs. That's not much experience.

I'm with Steve. This is worth avoiding for a number of reasons. The generic authentication site looks professional, it looks pretty phony. At best, they're a nobody in this hobby. There are much, much safer places to get a higher quality Gretzky.
