PSA/DNA certified Yasiel Puig Forgery. WOW.

This is a horrible, horrible Puig forgery certified by PSA/DNA and yes, the cert checks out on the site.

Here is a comparison with 100% authentic Puig signed balls:The one above is the top one below. This ISN'T EVEN CLOSE...

They note "RookieGraph", when you look up the cert number, but this is a horrible forgery. PSA/DNA dropped the ball on this one. Here is an old Puig sig:

The date on psa website and location is for Yasiels first public signing in California . It was at South Bay cards in Lomita Ca. Yasiel signed there on 3/30/2013 . Psa was present and was charging to sticker items .

There is something 10000% wrong here . I don't think psa cert'd this ball. It looks nothing like what Yasiel signed that day. Someone either made a fake sticker , or somehow removed the sticker . With that shiny surface im sure it is easy to peel right off, stick on another ball and keep the real one , sell the now fake psa one .

Here is two baseballs signed that day .

Also common sense , why would you walk away with a smeared ball like that when you are at a sit down signing paying for the autograph.

Could this be a case of someone going to the Yasiel signing, got a ball signed, and then when they went to the PSA/DNA booth to get their sticker they swapped the ball?

I know this has happened to JSA before and was highly publicized...

Beautiful examples above Anthony. Question, did you request the "66" on one or have to pay extra or did he just throw it on there randomly?

I think they are extra cautious to make sure this doesnt happen . He was writing 66 on everything .

Second psa would have put the sticker under the rawlings logo , not on a blank side panel . I have over 2000 baseballs cert'd by psa . Every single one is under the rawlings logo , unless the player side paneled the ball under the rawlings logo , then they put it on the mlb logo .
