I'm sorry but these both machine-signed forgeries.

Steve, how does one identify a machine-signed piece?  is it the location of the darker spots (ie pen pressure)?   Thanks!

Oh yeah, another great example of the "Florida" forgeries.

Nicely framed.

Even if they weren't machine-produced, they are still ugly forgeries.

Thousands upon thousands of these have been produced the last five years.

This crap is all over Ebay, local auctions,  charity auctions, estate sales, Proxibid.com, AuctionZip.com, Ubid.com, AlwaysAtAuction.com, AtAuction.com, etc.

Those are major outlets for forgeries.

This crap usually comes with worthless COAs from TTA/Stat Authentic (Ted Taylor), Chris "I Never Saw An Autograph I Didn't Like" Morales, Drew Max, YMC Sports, Nicholas Burczyk, MFP Reborn, My Favorite Players, Myst-O-Graph, Autographed Legends, LLC and others.

Pathetically produced crap which is meant (and it does) fool the wannabe autograph collectors.

Unfortunately very common forgeries...
