Paul's RAM autograph

I'd appreciate any opinions on its authenticity. I bought at an auction, and it does have an authenticity from GFA (Stephen Rocci), that (now) I know, not as trustable as Frank Caiazzo. So I, now in doubt, I will appreciate all opinions. Thank you.

A GFA COA means there's a 99.9% chance an autograph is fake. I hate to say it but the one you posted is not real IMO no matter who's COA it has.

"...not as trustable as Frank Caiazzo. ..."

Wing nuts and oranges would be a better comparison!

No way is that genuine, sorry.

Heroes and legends (never more). Debit card.

RR auctions and Tracks.co are trustable? There are so many fake things out there, it's getting hard to be a real fan with original things :(

Yeah, bad name. See what rights and protections your debit card extends to you. Had you used PayPal you'd be more protected still.

R&R and Tracks are not even comparable to Heroes and GFA. While those, the FORMER, are very good houses, buying collectibles based solely on the opinions of others is a good recipe for disaster. Anyone can make a mistake so buying "as is" at auctions with no Terms online can be problematic.

Myron Ross of Heroes and Legends Is a well-known forgery dealer and has been for decades.

The month after I bought Autograph Collector Magazine in 2004, I kicked him out as an advertiser for selling forgeries. He was the first of a number of advertisers I kicked out.

A year later the UACC kicked him out of their registered dealer program.

Your debit card should have buyer protection.

If you Google image the name of practically any recognizable celebrity (vintage or modern) and add the word "autograph" with the name, chances are you will see an image of a signed photo from Heroes and Legends. That junk must have just saturated the market over the years.

If nothing else, he's been prolific as a forger.
