Dale Earnhardt Sr. Autographs: What's Real? What's Fake?

Hello All,

New to the site and collecting NASCAR Auto'ed memorabilia... I could use some input on these Dale Sr. Auto's I purchased off ebay. I now believe the ebay seller I bought these from is selling Dale Sr Auto'ed items on ebay under 3 different user ID's so I suspect these might be fakes...

I hope I am wrong but as I put everything together, the nearly identical listings, the identical patterns of feedback left for buyers, and the same last name on 2 sellers Id's I know for sure I have purchased from 2 of the 3 ID's!

I would like a professional opinion before I start calling out any ebay seller, ers...

Thank You!!!

Mike.

Thanks Brandon, I really owe you a ton for opening my eyes to this hobby!!!

Yea! After pooring through just about every Authentic auto and those that were Authenticated thats on ebay yesterday, it didn't take long to figure they were hit also... ;0)

So after my one day crash course yesterday I feel good about these, where have we heard that before!!! ;0)

Here are a few more, I think the 1st card has a chance, the other two are doubtful...

the 2nd card and the last card are not real. The others are authentic :)

If you folks can't find the Earnhardt examples we have shown here, let me know, I can show several in-person obtained autographs.

Hey Brandon how is everything with you? Man, I was worried about the cards and forgot about the diecast!

I am pretty sure the first one is good, the Bass Pro a NO, and the last car another NOT Authentic! The last car did come with a COA from a Champion Sports, but anybody could print a COA like this though!
Please let me know when able, they were purchased recent enough to possibly file for a refund...
Thanks again,
Mike.

Mike - amazing how it works. For every "informed" buyer there are at least 16 more (now bidding on it) "uninformed" buyers. Just something shady on "private sales" on typically lower cost items. Put the picture for posterity. too bad previous sales don't have a small jpg to further a seller relisting a returned forged item.
