I was recently named as a victim in a forgery case. I purchased a fake Adrian Peterson autographed mini helmet, many years ago, from a fake company DM Sports World run by a Joshua Shores who will now be paying out 2.5 million dollars in damages to the countless people he ripped off. Since I received this email I have gone through all my autographs researching the COA's, reading blogs and making phone calls, sadly it appears I have been cheated more times than I care to name. I am a collector. I love to meet the athlete (which I have been blessed that my autographed jersey's have all been signed in person) and get the autograph not to resell but have long planned on handing everything down to my nephew or my son. That has all been broken as I look and question 90% of my collection. But I have every intention of bringing the people who are so willing to cheat others by selling fake items using the names of athletes and others to the same justice Joshua Shores now faces. I have contacted Marketing Directors for several of the items in question and will have the person who signed the item authenticate it. Athletes are used to people asking for their autograph not asking if the autograph in front of them is actually theirs. People who cheat us all are also cheating the athletes and they aren't very happy with it either. If you have a story please share it on this blog.... I will keep everyone posted.
