Hello,

Please take my comment here with very little weight b/c i dont know these guys at all. But just glancing at the item, all 3 look like they could have been signed by the same person. The ink is uniform, the pen pressure seems consistent, and the size (width) of the lines that make up the signature are all the same. This typically would not be seen in a real variation of signatures. Plus these 3 would be very easy to forge. I may be wrong, but off hand, id guess the same person signed all these.

I have met them all and had very rush autos but none look like that sorry. Without taking into account what the others said (which I agree) Lebrons is 100% fake. He doesn't sign like that ever. D wades is clearly someone trying to do it. He's auto would be the easiest to forge because he always just scribbles. He doesn't use that amount of pen pressure though and all the angles are off. Although I've got autos from him after a BIG night, they still look better then that. And Boshs auto usually looks a lot better and more sharpe.

two good points by carl and mykaphobic for sure and got me thinking. i commented on another one of anthony's posts about top shelf autographs, and this particular item. i wont repeat all that info haha but long story short, i own four pieces from this same company with that sells this above photo (i sent two off to PSA, both came back certified as legit). however, since reading the last two comments on here i was pretty nervous about my purchases from them so was browsing around doing some research and obviously some are very hard to tell if real or forged. for example, i attached a photo of two lebron autographs. can you spot the fake?

Appreciate all the comments and help provided with this item...and ya gonna pass on this photo...Paul i dont think you have anything to worry about with the item you purchased from this company...because firstly you had them authenticated by PSA secondly their hockey items all look good....plus this is from a seller on ebay saying he got it from Top Shelf Autographs (he might be just saying that he got it from them to improve value)

Paul I would say the top one is the fake??
Lebron was actually the nicest. He actually signed 5 items for me and he used BOTH hands. Some left, some right! Seriously!
And he gave me a different auto also that I have not seen anywhere. Maybe he was sick of me and was just scribbling anything??

i need to confirm, but apparently they are both legit UDA autographs! hard to believe the discrepancy between autographs like that considering all upper deck. That's pretty sweet he signed so many items haha and pretty funny was using both hands! THanks for the info, it's neat hearing about it all
