Nope. I’d stay away from these off the wall authenticators.

The photo is too blurry to even read the COA. But that looks like a poor attempt at his early signature.

Zero chance this is authentic. Horrible attempt.

Neither of the Trout jerseys you posted are authentic. I’ve seen and watched a thousand Trout signatures over the years at spring training(Angels are 10 minutes from my house). After a while you can just spot the good ones at a glance. I’ve gotten him on all sorts of items. Magazines, jerseys, balls and bats.

Save your money. Anybody willing to cut their price on Trout 50% so easily and take so little for it knows they are ditching you a fake. Steer clear.

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. I’m glad I didn’t spend money. I could have gotten each for $300 from a jersey selling company that I know the owner of on a discount

Here are some authentic examples. I’ll pull out and post some more when I get a minute. You can use these for comparison.

Doesn’t the Red jersey look like your ball? I’m sorry for being a pain I just don’t see a difference between the two.

Forgeries are intended to look authentic. If you look at the two long enough the differences will stand out to you.

I’d point them out but with a simple signature like Trout’s I’d rather not give out the errors in open forum here.

I tell people that all of them, Rick.

"Forgeries are meant to have the appearance of looking authentic to those who don't know autographs."

I understand completely. Thanks for helping me and not having me waste $300. I’ve collected for years but only have collected ip autographs so this whole buying certified thing is new to me and thought I could just trust certifications.
