Authenticity is Everything
ebay users selling bad autographs
I was layed off from my job about 3 months ago, so I have plenty of spare time to surf ebay for autographs. Now I don't claim to be an expert but I doubt it takes an expert to recognize that these sellers are selling fake autographs on eBay.
Here is the list, and a brief description of what they are selling, check the sellers current and completed auctions for plenty of examples. No COA's are ever shown in these auctions and if they are, they are on eBay's banned list or a made-up company. Someone on this website has to have some pull, please leave comments if you want, thanks.

Yes I saw those and am inquiring as to what the "policy" is if there is one. The problem being that these are very good reprints and only the initial buyer would know. In turn, they could turnaround and sell them as real and the next buyer in line wouldn't know it's a "preprint sitcker" until they had it in hand (presuming they would know what to look for). It does present an interesting twist.
Incidently, ACE is on the banned list. That doesn't mean that they don't get some right - thus saying it'a a "fake COA" would be tongue in cheek as it would appear in the opinion of others that getting some right is the exception rather than the norm.

Yes, Harry - they have a "reprinted"/slash copy of the JSA sticker on the properly listed picture as a preprint. They don't add the JSA COA information into the item description but the cert number is clearly readable on the few I noticed that Jim was speaking of.

a ACE pre-print thats a new low in my opinion haha

more good news! sports_pawnwars who was selling fake Lebron james signed jerseys and is featured on this list is no longer a registed user, another small step in the right direction!

also add hired_heroes_4cheap to the no longer a registered user list! pretty sure they knew sports_pawnwars as the items they were selling were identical fakes.

stuff4less2u 380355897389, 380355901807, 380333203830, 380325866787; all removed. It will be interesting to see if they stay removed as one could argue copyright infringement. Interesting though as I didn't find any exclusions on JSA (from where I was reviewing) that prevents this. Imagine 5 people calling JSA and claim they have the "original" picture!. I suppose EBAY didn't quite like the practice either.
