Hey, I wonder if you can all help me out. I purchased this walking dead print a few days back, the COA comes from Toppixautographs which I think are a pretty respectable company, however the print arrived today and the coa seemed completely fake, the back of the print contained a hologram,serial number and warranty void - I know these things can be purchased in bulk on ebay and just stuck on to try making things look more genuine. The signatures themselves are questionable, dome seem genuine, others seem completely fake, sons are smudged, and sons you can see the start and stops in the signatures. It's signed by 16.. Apparently. I have contacted toppix to see if the COA is one of theirs, but in the meantime, what donyou guys think, genuine or forgery? I have attached a link to the ebay listing I purchased also. I would appreciate any help. Many thanks :)

I don't think there is anything real about that piece. Not a single graph looks right. Toppix is an in-person company and I don't think I have ever seen a piece signed in multiple different color paint pens from them.

Then there is the minor fact that each and every cast member on there, gets $40 per autograph minimum. Under 100GBP for 16 stars of the show? There should be no doubt at all about the authenticity of this tragedy.

Thanks for your reply - I sir, am an idiot :( - I usually only buy from registered UACC members - but the toppix COA reassured me it was genuine.. Until I received it in-hand :/

Agree wit Pete, not real. Would love to see the COA as Toppix are a good company

I have attached a pic of the COA includedwith the print.

I don't know all COA's but this looks different from other Toppix COA's I've seen and seems to have been taken from an original and had things added and changed to make it look real. Are you going to send the item back and open a case on eBay so you can get a refund?

Yeah, it's deffinately going back. The sellers page lists that they don't accept returns, however the item ain't as described so if they don't let me return, il just let ebay take over. Btw. Just had this reply from toppixautographs ' Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. This item was never sold by us and the COA is nothing like ours. The signatures and COA are both fraudulent. Please forward the contact details for this seller when you get a chance.' - so there it is. I got bummed.

It happens Nick and at least you now have a reply from Toppix proving the item and COA are forgeries. Seller assumes responsibility for the listing. They can say no returns but open a case and let eBay sort it. Just make sure you send the item back tracked.

Cheers Dan - it's so frustrating purchasing genuine signed items, as 95% seem to be forgeries. There's sellers out there selling hundreds a day, and theirs are TERRIBLE fakes. Yeah, if he doesn't accept a return il just put a case in to get my money back :)
Junk fakes. $100 for full cast ? LOL yeah right

Just remember to leave negative feedback Nick so others get warned. Just don't mention opening a case in feedback or eBay remove it for some reason

yeah. I'm an idiot. Lesson learned. I picked up a desperate housewives signed pic (x 6) a few days ago for £70 - you have me doubting now lol.
Yeah.. Il definately leave negative to warn others. Hate being burned. What you think about this one, he's a registered UACC dealer so I'm assuming this is legit.. ' Was only £70 however for 6 signatures. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271668425765?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649...
