The best advice is to study the signatures you are interested in and learn to spot the fakes based on the actual characteristics of the autograph, the integrity of the seller, the plausibility of “the story” and any other factors to be considered - there can be many clues to pick up on.

Coming here for opinions is also a smart move, but to get ahead and spot/score the real sigs, you need to build your own working knowledge of the items you are interested in because when a real and valued item is placed on the market at a sweet price, youre def not going to get it because a smarter, more experienced collector will swoop it up long before you have time to get somebody else’s opinion!

And remember, if you have a printer at home, you too can print up COA’s all day long - point being, a COA doesnt necessarily mean jack, and in many cases of fakery, is the most obvious sign of someone trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

In summary: study, be smart, and trust your gut. And remember - all that glitters isnt gold AND a fool and his money easily part ways.  

Good luck and have fun!

I don't know his autograph but both of those sellers are top notch! They are on a Facebook group called RACC (Real Autographs Collectors Club) you could message them there and see if you could strike a deal.
