Those are Florida forgeries.

Do a Google search on "The Florida Forgeries"

I have literally posted hundreds upon hundreds of threads on the dozens of Ebay sellers who have sold "The Florida Forgeries."

There are approximately three dozen or more various "Florida" COAs.

That one hologram that reads "CLM," is Christopher L. Morales.

He was put on Ebay's Banned COA list over a decade ago.

He has "authenticated" thousands upon thousands of forgeries.

Ask your friend the name on the COAs.

One more question, I would like to tell him how it is obvious. How it is so obvious? (I don't doubt you at all, I just want to know what to say) - thanks again!

For those who are knowledgeable with autographs, it is obvious.

For those who are not knowledgeable in autographs, they look authentic.

Forgeries are meant to have the appearance of looking authentic to those that don't know autographs, and that's why the forgery industry (especially on Ebay) is so huge.

People think that Ebay filters out the forgeries; just the opposite is true. Ebay profits big-time from the sales of forgeries.

As for those images you posted; they are basically copies of forgeries produced on inkjet paper.
