Milcity Collectibles - Questionable?

Hey all, Kevin here.

 

I've been doing research on being able to spot out fakes and what not to get used to this hobby since I'm so new, and I guess the reason for this post is reassurance towards my opinions of this seller.

 

The seller's name is Milcity Collectibles

 

Here is his/hers Ebay page:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/milcity-collectibles/m.html?_nkw=&_armr...

 

I have done particular research on the Slash, Drew Brees, and Rob Gronkowski autographs.

 

First off, starting on Slash, here is the item he has listed:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slash-Guns-N-Roses-Rock-Signed-Autographed-...

 

In my opinion, it looks a little too neat to be Slash's signature when compared to this authentic example(approved by psa)

Now the Brees autograph he has listed looks especially off:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Drew-Brees-New-Orleans-Saints-Signed-Replic...

 

Normally Brees adds a number 9 inscription next to his name and this signature looks unconventional compared to this approved by psa:

And now onto Gronk. I absolutely love the Patriots and know that Gronk has recently changed his signature when not signing for Gridiron to a simple R.G. 87. When he is with Gridiron he signs his full name.

Here is the listing he has:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rob-Gronkowski-New-England-Patriots-Signed-...

The R and the G look decent and like a regular R and G the Gronk would sign. However, his new signature is also extremely easy to forge. I am caught up on this especially.

 

Thoughts and opinions would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much,

 

Kevin

      I can only comment on the Slash signature, and to me it looks genuine. Their is a characteristic in it though that i could see maybe threw you off. The A in slash is a little atypical in this example. When Slash finishes his L and goes into the formation of the A, typically the back end of the lowercase A is made first, and then he makes the loop in the A from right to left until the A is joined, and then their is a slight trace over of the base of the A, and then it goes into the second S. This is how he seems to sign more often than not. In the above example it appears as if the A was made going from left to right, but i believe this is from signing conditions as the formation is correct, it just didnt come together like his normal A. I compared it to several examples i have from 2012 and everything looked good with the letter slant and height. The date 2012 was also spot on with its characteristics. Hope this helps.

      Oh yeah, i remember their being at least one thread on here you could search for concerning Gronk signatures. You may want to ask the commentors that gave opinions on authenticty on that thread to look over the items you are worried about.

        Stay away from this forger. He’s a good forger but not legit stuff.
