He wants to sell it while not knowing if it is truly authentic?

Well he obviously says he believes that its real… but he said he wouldnt mind getting a 2nd opinion. He’s a good friend so I told him straight up that Im not buying it until I got yalls opinions.

"When forensics are involved a crime is usually not far behind."

See what others say. Did you use the Search Engine here re this authenticator?

"...Collectibles: High End ($100+ retail) - Can only be returned or exchanged within 7 days of purchase (in-store) and 7 days of receiving item (online)...."

When and how was it paid for?

Please do wait and see what others say but it seems likely.

Their address is a PO Box and Steiner's name & website is more prominent than theirs.

If their goal was to make an LOA that looks like BS that accompanies a scam auto, they did it.

Did Steiner even "certify" dealers before they got acquired by Fanatics? Given that this company is the only one that comes up when I Google "Steiner certified dealer", I'm guessing the answer is "no". I'm also going to say that's Strikes 1-3 against them.

There appears more than one concern in Tennessee with the same name and spelling.

The signature is actually one of the better attempts I've seen; however, for me is still a forgery for 3 clear reasons; however, as I don't want to give tips to forgers I won't say here. Any red flags as Eric has outlined mean you should trust your gut and stay away
