There was an ebay seller I talked about in the PSA thread called authenticgraph who seemed to be fraudulent (seriously shady Packers stuff with misleading PSA certification).  Looks like he may have been booted off ebay within the past few weeks.  I'm not sure if this is the same seller you're talking about, but if so, I wouldn't even consider doing business with them.  I can recap why if need be.

this Authentic graphs is the name on the coa.signature looks spot on and a lot of info is on the coa.name,address,phone number etc.just on gut feeling i would say the signature is from mid to late 00's and i do know that there was a few good small autograph companies that went under through the years.companies that would get most of the autographs themselves.by the way if anyone comes across a small time seller on e bay (cant remember name) but he sells stuff with coa's from "nap town greats"...100 percent legit...i used to buy from him all the time. sent things from them to psa/dna and they checked out...i know some people say psa never means its truly real but i have confidence in them....but anyway ill stop ranting

The sellers who scream the loudest about PSA/DNA and JSA are the ones who sell forgeries.

Instead of asking about the company and COA, post the autographs. That's what really matters.

can you authenticate signatures by looking at a picture of them on the internet Steve????

Donovan, that's a great question. Most forgeries can be detected from a decent image alone, because they don't look like the genuine item. But if an autograph looks genuine, you generally need to see it in person to confirm that it's not a reproduction of a genuine autograph.

Some sellers, particularly the ones that sell forgeries, will tell you that you can't tell something is fake from an image alone...and that's ridiculous. It's an excuse they use to carry on their scam. 

I'll let you know what I think and how confident I am in my opinion on the item.

It seems like it might be one of those names used by a few different businesses that might be confusing.  I think some ebay sellers mimic the name of respected dealers.  The AuthenticGraph I was referring to is now gone: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=...

I was pleased to see this today, that they are no longer on ebay.  They were fraudulent and content to lie as convenient.  They could have been more convincing if their stories checked out - the signatures were pretty well done (at least the Aaron Rodgers/Packers items).
