"Buying a Kobe autograph without a trustworthy COA based on someone’s word is always risky. Beckett definitely knows what they’re doing so the fact they told you it would likely pass is a good sign. I am not an expert whatsoever and would…"

Hey guys! So I got this Kobe auto and it’s authenticated by Beckett, however I’ve heard some stories of fake Beckett slabs so I wanted to confirm with some experts if this is indeed authentic. I have…Continue

"Thank you so much for the feedback I really appreciate it! As a new member you guys are awesome. "
"Those are the kind of photos we needed! Yes, the autograph looks real to me. "
"It fades a bit at the end, but I believe the difference in color is the fact that it is going over the yellow jersey. I agree with you for sure, it does look rushed and signing something small like a card is more difficult than a jersey or photo,…"
"Much clearer images. Is there bleeding or fading on the last part of the autograph or is it just glare? It's real for me although I still don;t like parts of the middle part of his autograph but this is likely rushed or the fact he is signing…"
"Here are some better pictures. I can now 100% guarantee that the Beckett slab is authentic. If this autograph is fake then it got past Beckett. Let me know what you think and thanks again!"

"I understand that for sure, I’ll have it in hand later today and I’ll post better pictures here. The seller is a sports card seller who has many other PSA graded cards listed, no other autographs however. All of his listings did not have…"
"The photos are suspiciously poorly shot. The full-on front shot is poorly lit. You can’t get a good look at the autograph. That could be because it’s an inexperienced seller, but if not, it’s unlikely that a legit experienced…"
"Agreed. Have you seen any instances of an authentic autograph fake Beckett slab? I’ve only seen fake ones with fake grades, not autos. If the slab is genuine then I am 99.99% sure it is authentic because I definitely trust Beckett. However…"
"That is a good pickup. These were going for 2-3 times that after he passed and that price is a really good deal"
"I will for sure, won an auction for $880. Good price for a Kobe auto considering how much they go for now, but definitely not cheap either. "
"From what I can see it does but check it very carefully once you receive it, make sure it is properly done. Do you mind saying how much you've paid?"
"Thank you! I should have it in hand later this week. What about the Beckett slab, does it appear authentic to you?"
"Hi Luke, I'd like a better photo once you receive this. I am on the fence based on the scan you've given with some concerns on the autograph but there are certainly some strong genuine characteristics. I'm leaning more to real but…"
"I would if I could! However I don’t yet have it in hand yet. Thank you for the quick response! I’ll give you a high resolution photo as soon as I can. Based on the third picture with the flash is there any judgement you could make?…"
