Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Cy Young, Joe DiMaggio, Tony Lazzeri Autographed Baseball Ebay Seller PJGATZKE Drew Max AAU Pawn Stars Forgeries

When I first noticed these on Ebay, I was shocked that anyone would buy this garbage.

The below items are listed by Ebay seller pjgatzke.

Ebay seller pjgatzke already sold the Ty Cobb and Cy Young autographs. The Ty Cobb sold for $405.00 and the Cy Young sold for $300.00. These are horrific forgeries. Both were purchased by the same buyer. Does the buyer of those Ty Cobb and Cy Young forgeries really believe he purchased authentic autographs of Ty Cobb and Cy Young for those ridiculously low prices? Seriously?

And look who the COAs are from: Drew Max (AAU). Mr. Max calls himself a FDE (Forensic Document Examiner). My disdain for Drew Max is as deep as my disdain for both Chris Morales and Ted Taylor.

Presently listed by Ebay seller pjgatzke is a Babe Ruth signed photo (horrific forgery) and a autographed baseball that contains the names of Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Tony Lazzeri. The aforementioned three signatures (Gehrig, DiMaggio and Lazzeri) are the most horrific of all the forgeries.

First, the Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Tony Lazzeri forgeries. These are as ugly a set of forgeries as you will ever see. Look at that pathetic Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig sigs!!! Way to go Drew!!!!

Look how slowly drawn the three signatures are!!!! I guess Drew Max didn't notice that with his Hubble-sized magnifying glass.

This is the Babe Ruth forgery with a COA from Drew Max (AAU).

This is the Ty Cobb forgery that sold for $405.00.

I hope the buyer of both the Ty Cobb and Cy Young read this blog and submit the autographs to PSA and JSA.

And this is the Cy Young garbage that sold for a paltry $300.00.

If the seller or the buyer reads this blog, I want them to know that we expose this garbage because we are sick of this crap (forgeries) infecting our hobby. And I will continue to expose this crap for as long as it is out there.

Comment by Steve Cyrkin, Admin on October 7, 2012 at 7:09pm: As usual, Drew Max has a lot of questions to answer. Like why does everyone respected in autographs who knows the AAU/Drew Max name assume autographs he certifies are likely to be forgeries?

Comment by Rick Meyer on October 7, 2012 at 7:28pm: Drew Max is a thief just stealing peoples money on his authorizations. Also guilty of assisting others to steal money. Hopefully somebody eventually investigates him and he gets tossed in prison.

Surely the forgers know he is going to pass everything they send him. Thats why Ruth and Gehrig among others are sent to him. Nobody in their right mind would send that goof an authentic signature. He might start it on fire if the sun hits that magnifying glass just right.
