Yasiel Puig Autograph Authentic Exemplars

Ever since this rookie phenom broke into the league his autographs/cards have been a hot product. As of now I am the only person I know of who has studied Puig's autograph extensively around here so I felt the need to share some exemplars. I have exposed tons of Puig forgeries on this site, and will continue to do so. PSA/DNA listed Puig in their "Top 10 Most Forged Autographs" of 2013. IMHO about 15%-20% of Puig "autographs" on eBay at any given time are truly authentic.

In order to help, I am sharing some authentic exemplars, as well as some forgeries to help train your eyes. 

AUTHENTIC EXAMPLES:

OLD SIG: 

Authentic Flats:

Authentic Balls:

*NOTE: Towards the end of his rookie season, Puig started signing the side-panel WAY MORE often than the sweet spot. (Forgers have taken note of this as well)

Cards:

Authentic Helmets:

Some 2014 Spring Training autographs, his sig is evolving already:

Now I will share some FORGERY examples. Please note, I have seen forgeries certified by PSA/DNA as well as JSA. With Puig being such a new superstar, even the big authenticators are going to make their mistakes so be very careful. There are TONS of forgeries certified by Global Authentics. 

I will try and keep this updated as much as I can. Be very careful when purchasing a Yasiel Puig autograph. Remember, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Also remember that a "COA" is just a piece of paper, and any seller not mentioning the COA is probably a scammer.

Here is yet another Yasiel Puig forgery certified by Global Authentics (GA, Steve Sipe). This listed by eBay seller okauthentics 

This forger is aware that Puig has started signing the side panel, and in order to "stay one step ahead of us" is starting to sign there. Also does this to make GA look less suspicious. Junk fake:

Here is a horrible Puig forgery listed by eBay seller exquisite_autographs who calls this "perfect". I guess "perfect" means a piece of crap forgery on a 1 cent index card. BIN of $50, guy knows it's junk.

Here are 2 Puig forgeries listed by eBay seller brewcrewpack both "authenticated" by Global Authentics (GA, Steve Sipe). 

The helmet is the "new" Puig forgery style *magically* authenticated in bulk. The forger is trying to copy Puig's "sloppy" side panel sig, and fails miserably. The jersey is just a flat out horrible attempt on a Chinese knock-off jersey. Of course a "proof photo" is thrown in which proves absolutely NOTHING. Pathetic. 

Folks Puig is not an easy autograph to obtain by any means. I have been to over 10 Dodgers games the past 2 years and not ONCE has he signed before the game, other than for 2-3 people who had BP access. I ran into him on the street and was the ONLY person within 100 yards, and he would not sign for me.
