Alright thanks for all your help on the last one - two more signature to get your opinions on. Also have UD certifications (sent an email to UD) but would really appreciate your opinion on the signatures.
Plot twist- for #1 Upper Deck says they cannot confirm the cert number SHO22726 and Beckett signature review says unlikely to pass (strangely it took both companies 4 days to respond which is abnormal). I’m not sure I’ll actually ever completely trust a UD hologram even with the cert card if it doesn’t come directly from UD.
"...it can be removed from a legit jersey/signature and placed on a forgery. UDA can only state that the original signed jersey they sold was good, they have no idea what has happened to the hologram or what it is currently attached to."
What you said - "...I’m not sure I’ll actually ever completely trust a UD hologram even with the cert card if it doesn’t come directly from UD. " seems to be the way to go IMO.
Brutal. Sorry to hear. It's really a poor indicator of the hobby when you can't confidently buy an Upper Deck Authenticated item out of fear of advanced forgeries and manipulative techniques.
