it does help I know you kind of lose the signature in the jersey but I have an ify feeling about it also which is disappointing that you have to question every signature unless you go get it yourself

Well, in the sports market, there are numerous safe avenues for purchasing - but they're often pretty expensive. You can play it safe by buying from Mounted Memories, Tristar, Steiner, Upper Deck, or the athlete's own company. JSA Witness Protection is also physically on site for some big signings.

Emmitt does plenty of shows, but he charges a pretty insane amount of money (not too uncommon for top stars and sports legends). You can try to save some money by buying an older, somewhat more questionable item - i.e. something from the early/mid 90's before holograms and rock-solid record keeping were more prevalent. But keep in mind that Emmitt was a star in the early 90's, and it's been a long, long time since his autograph was cheap or especially easy to obtain.

If you're looking to bid on some items with top-level authentication, here are some good examples:

Schwartz (no Emmitt auctions at the moment, but you can submit offers):

This one from seller rochestersports also has Emmitt's own hologram and a COA from GTSM.
