Koufax GA

Man I hate buying GA stuff but this one actually looks decent to me. Thoughts?

Hi.

I know nothing about Koufax or GIA.

Having said that, don't buy it. It's not a vintage piece so I'm sure you could find a very similar piece you'd be absolutely comfortable with.

Looks like it is one of his more modern spring training/in person signatures. Koufax has been tough to make opinions on lately, as his signature changed a bit; apparently there has been a forgery ring producing Koufax autographs and marketing them as authentic, some with third party authentication certs as well.

I agree with Mark, stay away unless you are 100% comfortable with the signature.

It's fake. Don't buy anything with a GA COA and that SOB Steve Sipe!

Yep that's the one. Lots of Koufax GIA stuff out there which is suspicious in itself.

Thanks for the opinion guys. Pretty much my feelings on GIA.

i would stay away...even if legit (which i doubt), it's ugly...Koufax has a nice signature, and there are much better examples out there which you can get for low cost if you look hard enough...i got this for $80 a few years back.
