Tom Brady Autograph Authenticity ?

I got a ball from an ebayer with a good feedback record (just not a ton of feedback) a dual signed Brady/ Gronkowski ball. Ball was supposedly aquired by a guy who works for a sports celebrity promoting agency in Colorado Springs signed when New England was out there training at the AF academy getting ready for the altitude in Mexico city. Story kinda checks out but you just never know. Came with his own personal coa and a lifetime money back guarantee. Please anyone with some Brady/Gronk signature experience weigh in.

Thanks

The Brady is close, but I haven't seen him sign his number in a very long time. Also, the double hook forming the horizontal on the T is very atypical. the Gronk appears to be way off. I would not be comfortable owning this item.

I was afraid of that, this guy was very convincing going into details about how and when/where he got the ball and with the 3rd party authen guarantee he offers I was sure it was real. Thank you for the help. I guess moral of the story is stick to TriStar stuff for Brady?

once in a while you can find an authentic Brady without Tri Star cert, but it is not very often. While pricey, it is one of the only ways to get an authentic Brady without any doubts.

So no chance its a real Brady then? The cross on T and the Big upper loop on the B is what made me suspicious

I can't say "no chance". I am saying based on the signature, the addition of his number, and the Gronk I believe it to be a forgery. But its just an opinion.

Autographs are worthless to a collector unless 100% sure and with this I’m not 100% sure, thanks again. Bummer but it is what it is. Strange to offer a 3rd party authen guarantee on a fake...lol

Sometimes it is strange to see such a guarantee actually followed through. Most folks don't even ask as you have - that is likely this sellers preference, hence the heavy initial sell. And fewer will attempt a refund.

That's the exact impression I get from watching him play. And yet another reason I hate the Patriots. But we are not here to fight about NFL teams hahaha
