Scott, 

Who is that one authenticator Global sends out, and how do you know this?

Please do post images of the Bill Murrays you got in person. I was suprised to see posters signed by these stars. Thanks

Nelson,

I forgot to answer your question. No, I don't have first-hand experience with any of the celebrities on those posters. In fact, I've never asked in-person for an autograph...ever.

Nelson, I don't think Steve was stating that these signatures were bad I think he was just looking for opinions on them because he was'nt sure himself. @steve am I correct?

I would have to say that the majority of the actors that were pointed out are the nicest guys in all of hollywood and do sign a ton when out in public. I have personally obtained about 80% of these stars in person and they do look to be authentic in my opinion. Below are the stars I can personally speak of for myself.

Steven Spielberg Is very friendly I met him last year at the Brown graduation for his daughter he was staying at the Westin in providence and he signed outside of the hotel for everyone there and did multiples and even took photo's with whoever wanted.

Jack Nicholson Is Suuuuuper nice although hard to believe because of some of the parts he plays but he has to be by far the best A-List star to sign, he was also at Brown the same weekend as Spielberg for his Daughters graduation. He stayed at the Rennassaince and signed for 4 days straight, he signed when he came in, when he left and during his smoke breaks. True Class act..

Tom Hanks although has become a little more harder to obtain does in fact sign a good amount. I got Hanks in New York not too long ago when he was in town for the Bruce Springsteen concert (they are best friends) and he did sign a good amount of autographs.

Michael J. Fox may be a close tie with Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler for being a great signer, I got him in 2011 at the Liberty Hotel in Boston when he was in town for the Stanley cup (he and Cam Neely are Best friends) and MJF signed every single item for every single person at the hotel. Some people are under the assumption because he shakes a little that he does not sign or that the signature should be real shaky but the is the furthest from the true. He actually signs very well and is a great guy all day everyday.

Adam Sandler is another GREAT signer, he signs every time he is in New York and on all of his movie sets. He loves the fans and always signs and takes photo's with people.

Bill Murray is tough but not impossible as he does sign for cash, he was at the Travelers golf championship this past year and would walk right through the crowds without stopping, however you say "Bill I have cash can you sign a few" he stopped in his tracks came over and said "how much cash we talking" then he will tell you how many he will sign for that amount. It is very funny how that goes down.

John Williams Is another guy that is very nice, he is always in Boston working with the Boston Pops and signs all the time.

I think I have mentioned all of the guys that I have personally obtained in person from the list of posters that were shown. By going off of those signatures and the ones I have obtained I would have to say they are authentic in my opinion.

Nelson,

I'm sorry to have to ask you this, but are you actually Steve Sipe, the owner of Global Authentics? A number of us believe you are, so we would appreciate it if you would provide proof of your identity to show you are not. Since you're claiming you also got all the A-Listers above in person, and that the autographs you got match the ones on the posters certified by GA, it's important for every collector and dealer reading this discussion to know whether they can depend on what you are saying.

These are the reasons we are concerned about you:

• You wrote above: "@ Steve - you must've had a lot of spare time on your hands Sunday night to sit down and take the time to do all of this..." Not only is that similar to what Steve Sipe has said to me most times I've called out GA's authentications; you just joined this site on Oct. 7, and it's rare that a new member would try to denigrate me like that. Or any member for that matter.
• Your writing style is very similar to Steve Sipe's.
• You write above as if you're someone very experienced in getting in-person movie autographs. Yet in your profile you say that you collect only music autographs.
• You claim above that you can tell that the autographs on the signed GA certified posters I uploaded into the album are genuine, yet in your three blog posts on this site, you're asking for help authenticating three of the most amateur music forgeries I've seen in a long time.

Because you're essentially "testifying" to the authenticity of the autographs on the signed posters above, we have a responsibility to make sure you are being honest at the most basic level. Please contact me through this site so we can verify your identity.

Thanks,

Steve Cyrkin

Steve,

I only have one account on this site so I am not sure why you would even consider that I have another. Paranoid about something? If your members cannot see for themselves that you have put your agenda against any and all clients of my company ahead of anything on this site then shame on them. With all the bad stuff on the internet being sold your blatent postings of items for sale (38 to be exact) of a customer of ours clearly shows the evil/manipulative nature of you.

As for James McKnight and what he has to say I can honestly say that has nothing to do with my company or anyone affliliated with my organization. Lastly, you should know that your problem with someone who is randomly sending out copies of transcripts from legal matters in the 1990's with tesitmony on your part and licensed doctors has nothing to do with me or my organization.

RightCoastCollectibles sells genuine autographs and for you to post their items and question them is just plain harassment. Since you have no personal exemplars of your own to go by and you were a lonely coin grader back in the day your personal attacks on my company and clients is all part of one big agenda and has been for the past year.

A question, "Nelson":

Is in-person experience really necessary to authenticate autographs? 

Permalink Reply by Travis Christenberry on October 25, 2012 at 1:55am

Ha. Yeah, that post was very strange for someone who considers themselves an intermediate collector.

@ DSC Authentic, Your response to the comments I made earlier in the blog was a lame attempt to convince people that your not a crook. You are selling fake autographs on ebay user i.d. dscauthentic and mayes-authentics. I have been tracking both sites for about 4 months now and I find it insulting that you deny this, it is so obvious. Both of those accounts are the only accounts to have sold Mike Trout MLB Authenticated autographs in bulk (more than 35 items), both accounts are the only accounts to have sold PSA/DNA Rookie Graph Mike Trout Items in bulk, and both accounts currently have Eagles items listed that have near identical COA#s- some coincidence hunh??? You are not slick, you are a crook, you are insulting me and the people that visit this site.  Out of all the Mike Trout items you have sold on both accounts (maybe 150+ in 4 months) I venture to say about 25-35% are fake. I suspect that you have been tampering with the MLB Hologram and removing them from items that were signed by Mike Trout at the signing you hosted and placing them on items that you've personaly signed.  These two eBay accounts you have been selling on have been the only accounts on eBay to feature specific FAKE versions of Mike Trout's autograph with not only the MLB Hologram but the PSA/DNA Rookie Graph COA (Yes folks, PSA passed fake Mike Trout autographs for this Company). In PSA's defense I am sure DSC Authentic had plenty of their personal fake version stickered with MLB Holograms before they had PSA look at the items, so it's not really shame on PSA, it's shame on you. Who is the person in charge of your company? Please don't make me find it myself.

pretty harsh words their pardner....   it appears  mayes-authentics "might" have been at the same show as they tout the first signing at frank and Son previously referenced by DSC.

What is odd though is one of the items sold by mayes-authentics is supported by a picture that the seller claims was signed at the show.  The odd part is the picture as it would appear to be from the frank & Son show (see the DSC one for comparison but from the front of the table) except is has a DSC deluxe signature collection watermark across the front of it.

This must be one of the Eagles items u are referring to.   do you know if psa/dna was at the show? 

it does appear the images were taken in different places although the one on the left has the "grassy background" that jamesM has come to notice.  Also, the one on the left has an image w/i the image of the photographer from mayes

If PSA authenticated or denied any item just because of a sticker or previous authentication then it is shame on them. They are being paid to authenticate the item themselves. Just like you I don't believe for a second that the Trout signed jersey you posted with the PSA sticker on it is real. Just my opinion. I wouldnt buy it after comparing it to the number of Trout signatures that I obtained personally. I do think the AS baseball signed by Trout might be good.  

Mike Trout is a very good signer.....from my experience. He even signed multiples the times I was there. He signed 4 items for me at one time and was ok doing it. I was in uniform so that might have helped I guess but I saw him do it for others to. Even the ones who called and yelled at him nonstop....you know like the loud obnoxious folks that normally chase the players away. 

The MLB sticker though doesn't necessarily mean the signature is authentic. My daughter participated as an on honorary field security at a D-Backs game. After this game as well as others I was on the field after I watched a guy from MLB put stickers and recorded everything that came of the field. Unused baseballs, bats, bases, lineup cards...etc. My daughter was given a couple actual used baseballs the umpires dumped in a bucket and she was given a used base. Another time when she was the onfield shadow for Justin Upton during pre game warmups she was given a new bat by Upton. The MLB guy was in the dugout and stickered all these items and recorded them. In the time since she got these items we have had every item signed. Upton signed the bat and other D-Backs signed the balls and the base. The MLB sticker on these items only authenticate that the items were used in a game and taken off the field. The hologram has nothing to do with the autograph.
