What Gives?tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2018-11-10:3524372:Topic:12780902018-11-10T08:38:43.969ZSyreena Sexxtonhttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/SyreenaSexxton
<p>Hi Everyone-</p>
<p> After ("allegedly") being burned by eBay Seller sportsnmore9999 on more than one occasion, I learned through this forum: (<a href="https://live.autographmagazine.com/main/search/search?q=sportsnmore9999">https://live.autographmagazine.com/main/search/search?q=sportsnmore9999</a>) that many had the same experience and that, rather than offering a misguided mix of genuine and counterfeit signed items, it appeared that this was ("allegedly") more like a straight-up…</p>
<p>Hi Everyone-</p>
<p> After ("allegedly") being burned by eBay Seller sportsnmore9999 on more than one occasion, I learned through this forum: (<a href="https://live.autographmagazine.com/main/search/search?q=sportsnmore9999">https://live.autographmagazine.com/main/search/search?q=sportsnmore9999</a>) that many had the same experience and that, rather than offering a misguided mix of genuine and counterfeit signed items, it appeared that this was ("allegedly") more like a straight-up factory of fakes, most being "certified" with a TD (Team Derek) hologram sticker, which this Forum has also deemed problematic:(<a href="https://live.autographmagazine.com/main/search/search?q=TD+hologram">https://live.autographmagazine.com/main/search/search?q=TD+hologram</a>).</p>
<p> Now I find that their inventory has been streamlined (specifically signed rock/pop lp listings) and ALL are now ("allegedly") certified by PSA/DNA. The question here is, are we seeing an ("alleged") onslaught of counterfeit PSA/DNA stickers and certificates, or is someone at PSA/DNA ("allegedly") "on the take" here? Can a leopard really change it's spots?</p>
<p> Unfortunately, I could not verify any of these items through the PSA/DNA database, as none of the images posted are set so you can magnify the image enough to read the sticker numbers. Additionally, pics of the certification cards are labelled "Sample Only", deeming both the stickers and certificates useless in verifying the authenticity of the corresponding signed pieces.</p>
<p> For the record, I only buy signed lps, mainly because I find it harder to be tricked, unlike lp "flats" and photographs, which can easily be duplicated from genuinely signed originals. Some examples of current listings by this Seller can be seen below. Please see the following link to this Seller's listings page for this Seller's full inventory and share your thoughts.</p>

<p>Hi all</p>
<p>Has anyone come across the truly awful forgeries ppautographs have to offer on ebay. Glossy 8x10s signed by all the film, music and sport legends. I've reported the worst half dozen but ebay haven't done anything so please pitch in people. Big names like Steve Mcqueen, Pele, Ali all starting at 99.99. I feel sorry for the person who has bid a hundred quid on the ghastly Brando Godfather photo :(</p>

<p>The funny part is I actually recognize the handwriting. I remember this seller and he got booted from eBay back when they cared. He had tons of IDs that he used.</p>
<p>The best part is he has updated to now use 'proof' photos. I am certain if someone took the time and used the Google image search you could easily expose the source of his stolen proof photos.</p>
<p>Be sure to avoid him and post here often to keep this posting alive.</p>

<p>He included a COA from Rare and Signed. (Which is pictured)</p>
<p>I have saved the list of the names of bad COA companies and Ebay sellers so I know "Rare and Signed" is one of them.</p>
<p>I emailed him asking him if he is sure these are real and if the COA is good. Then I told him that "Rare and Signed" isn't a reputable company.</p>
<p>The next day I checked back at the listing and he ended it early. I checked his Ebay store and EVERYTHING all ended. Basically he shut his store down.</p>

<p> He goes to the Monaco Formula 1 race once a year and lives it up on his scammed money and gets one helmet signed, take a photo of them signing it (Never Jenson Button as he never signs any helmets anymore) then replicates them very poorly almost a hundred times.</p>
<p> When Barcelona came to the US 2 years ago he got one shirt signed in their Miami hotel, took all the photos of them signing it and sold hundreds of forgeries, only thing is that he also forged Messi's autograph on them when Messi didn't come on that trip because he was on international duty.</p>
<p>There is complaints all over the net about this seller, ripoffreport.com etc, its about time this guy is locked up, view his feedback listings to see the hundreds of the same thing selling over and over again.</p>
