"Probably worth adding that holding TPA certed graphs as the gold standard is seriously problematic. And that's probably about the gentlest way I could put it."

How to identify fakes

Any advice for newbies on how to spot fakes? I’ve seen the shaky lines of an auto pen but don’t know much else! Is it possible to tell a stamped graph using photoshop? Is it possible to ID a phony only using photoshop? I’ve recently purchased a confirmed phony (has EXACT signature as another) but my untrained eye knows not what to look for when identifying the tell-tale signs as it has no shakiness to it… Figured I wld ask those in the know and all advice welcomed!See More
