Authenticity is Everything
Chris Morales -Forensic Examiner
My husband and I bought a whole bunch of memorabilia from an exclusive military bidding website because he's in the military. I was considering selling them, however, after doing some research I came across few websites about Chris Morales (forensic examiner) who authorized items that are not authentic. We trusted the military website (Army Airforce Exchange Service) so we figured its legit. Now I'm concerned about them after reading so different law suites against this guy. I'd also like to advise AAEF as well to stop doing business with him as well if what he's selling is not real. How do I go about finding out if the items we have are real or not? I have whole bunch of baseball and boxing items. Your feedback is much appreciated. Thanks for your help.

If you post pictures here, a lot of knowledgeable people will give you their opinions for free. Otherwise, you'd have to send them off for authentication to JSA/PSA/etc. Good luck.

I will do that. Thanks for the quick response. I'm new at this and on this site so any tip or advise is much appreciated. It sucks because I'm getting laid off work and I husband's going to be deploy in May but in the mean time we need the extra cash and comes to find out all these items may be fake is very disapointing.

Michael is right. Post them here, you will get feedback. Not good he did the COAs. Im not sure anyone has seen an authentic piece he has forensically examined. God bless your husband for protecting our country. I hope you find a better job! Good luck.

I don't see them Kristie. I would contact AAEF, tell them your situation. Find out where they got all the Morales items, contact them and demand a refund. Get everyone who bought involved if possible. Screwing over our military not so cool.. You could make some noise with this situation, especially now. Post on here where the items came from. I bought a fake guitar with a Morales COA a few years ago.

Yes we can see these. Thanks. People will comment on these soon, I suck at it so I'm not. You need to find out where AAEF got them, I don't think Morales has started selling. If an item is authentic the seller will not mind giving a refund. It will be in their guarantee. I don't have a clue how it works but if you bought from AAEF should they refund you and then they can deal with getting their money back? Morales is a worm but your beef is with the seller. They have your money, he's just paid to lie.

Have you heard of At Auction, 1200 Lakeside Pkwy Ste 450, Flower Mound TX 75028. That's where they came from when I bought them from AAFES

Last year, and long overdue, Chris Morales, who calls himself a "Forensic Investigator," was placed on Ebay's Banned COA List. And deservedly so.
I've been following "the work" of Chris Morales for over eight (8) years and have yet to see anything he has "authenticated" as being authentic.
Does this Morales COA look familiar, Kristie?

Yes, it looks EXACTLY like this. I'm surprised that he even got the government fooled and able to sell to them. How do I show proof to AAEF that this guy is a fake to get my refund? Any advice or guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.
