DEREK JETER FORGERIES ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH DUE TO 3000 HIT MILESTONE

Jeter fans beware....due to Derek Jeter's 3000 hit milestone Jeter forgeries have now struck an all time high on auctions...the top photo's is a perfect example of a G.A.I Jeter forgery that is out there in extremely high numbers...(that forgery style in particular)...Jeter forgeries have been out there for quite some time and are very obvious...the forgeres will never get Jeters auto perfect in my opinion due to the series of loops in his auto...I have seen this style on 8X10s as well...this particular style forgery you can pick out right from the beginning with the letter "D" and those loops for his first name...also how the autograph is all over the place not to tip off the forger of what is so obviously wrong with this horrific forgery style...consumers beware in purchasing any Jeter autographs nowadays...the high number in forgeries and the uneducated buyers out there goes hand and hand that fuels this problem terribly...now on the bottom is a superb authentic Jeter autograph form steiner sports on a Jeter Jersey...as you can see the autos are not even close...the authentic jeter is perfect and fluid...the top Jeter is just a hideous mess...please take extra precaution in purchasing a Jeter auto...do the research...and be prepared to pay a pretty penny for an authentic auto and not a cheap forgery...

Authentic Jeter Signed Jersey from Steiner Sports...

Authentic Jeter single signed ball...

Here is a recent pick from Steiner Sports...as you can see the "BOW TIE''-"OWL EYES'' formation on the end of the auto which lots of forgers try to mimic but never come close to the rest of the formation...

ADDED 8/16/2012 MUST SEE !!!!!

Hi, CEE GEE,

That same eBay seller has a Gretzky Starting Line-up figure with an autopenned card included in the repackaged item. He states LB Sports authenticated the autograph (like the Jeter ball you just identified). Is LB Sports well-known as a fraudulent authenticator?

I saw his other items Pete...he does have lots of GOOD items but there is some bad items in there as well

These GAI authenticated Derek Jeter forgeries continue to be sold on Ebay and other websites.  This one is being sold by Ebay seller gunther713.

HERE IS ANOTHER MESS WITH ALREADY 1 BID FOR 99 BUCKS...A BLATANT FAKE

And it has a Global Authentics COA. What a shock.

Comment by Steve Cyrkin, Admin on January 31, 2012 at 9:10am

Global Authentics had an opportunity to start over and do things right, but they really blew it. Is GA certification any more reliable than GAI? 

Comment by CEE GEE on January 31, 2012 at 9:14am

Not to take away from them as all bad...but I am going to say 90% are not good...there is a 10% chance...but that so far and few between

Comment by Steve Cyrkin, Admin on January 31, 2012 at 9:20am

What would you say is the percentage of autographs on eBay sold without independent authentication that are bad?

Comment by CEE GEE on January 31, 2012 at 9:41am

Damn Steve...its so hard to say...I would say 6 or 7 out of 10 are bogus at auction...60%-70%...GIVE OR TAKE...I have seen more non certified items that are AUTHENTIC then certified items with fly by night certs. that are FORGERIES...that's for sure...just like my man Christopher Williams says "A piece of paper doesn't mean anything"......so TRUE !!!!!!
