Comment by Jeffery Kite on August 7, 2012 at 5:53pm: LOL @ Bill! There's no fighting at all. I just wanted to compare what I had with what others had and see the difference.

Comment by James Lafaman on August 7, 2012 at 5:38pm: I got him standing outside of Del Frisco's in NYC waiting for his entourage to finish smoking before dinner. Same building as Sirius radio, where I used to work. He was in a good mood and they were celebrating his not having to go to jail that day :). Hookers or not, he is the greatest outside linebacker of all time. He changed the way the game is played on defense and I am a huge Giant fan.

Comment by Bill Panagopulos on August 7, 2012 at 5:33pm: Wow. All this fighting over a $5.00 autograph.

Comment by James Lafaman on August 7, 2012 at 5:29pm: Here is an in person LT for you to compare from roughly Mar / Apr 2011.

Comment by Jeffery Kite on August 7, 2012 at 4:28pm: Hey guys, thanks for all of your input. Mike, I know EXACTLY what style of LT you are talking about, and it looks nothing like the one I just got authenticated. Harry, I'm hoping for someone to post a real recent autograph of LT, and I hope it matches mine! :) I've looked at your post, and maybe it's wishful thinking, but I see some pretty good similarities in the "A-Y-L" between yours and mine. And BTW, you guys can say anything you want; no hard feelings, no getting upset! Call it junk, call it good, call it whatever. I am here to learn, share any insight I might have, and get all the knowledge I can so I don't have bad stuff in my collection. So let's have fun breaking this down. I think it's worth it.

Comment by Jeffery Kite on August 7, 2012 at 11:52am: There has been a big debate about Lawrence Taylor autographs obtained through the mail. Well, I wrote to him in July, 2011, and got an autographed 1987 Topps card back in January, 2012. I sent it to the National Sports Collectors Convention this weekend and it passed PSA, who certified and slabbed it. I know it looks vastly different from other LT autographs that others obtained in person 4 - 5 years ago, but maybe this is the way he is signing now. If anyone has obtained an LT autograph in person or through the mail, or any way else, I'm going to start a Lawrence Taylor discussion thread for everyone to chime in an give opinons, examples, etc.

Comment by Bob Oliver on July 26, 2012 at 12:10pm: Pathetic!!

Comment by Chad B on July 26, 2012 at 10:54am: What a bunch of junk!! Treasure Coast is horrible.

Comment by Steve Zarelli on July 26, 2012 at 10:46am: Look at these laughably unconvincing James Stewart forgeries from Treasure Coast Autographs. All done by the same inept, ham-fisted, brain-dead forger.
