Steve Wigderson (the sports alley) is listed on the new GA certs as the authentication "expert".

I do not study Lebron signatures, but I did check out several other known authentic examples, and they look nothing like either the JSA or the GA versions.  Nothing.

Perhaps Sipe was showing us what he was using as his exemplar to authenticate these?  what is comical is that his are not even close to the JSA one he posted.

Mr. Sipe, that examples does nothing except reinforce the fact that the ones posted in the OP are forgeries! 

Here are side by side comparisons:

While you are here, would you mind commenting on the Rivera GA forgeries I see sell on eBay every single day?

The GA and JSA certed sigs do look different.

very different. I cant imagine why those were even posted as comparison examples. It defeated the whole purpose of posting to defend oneself. Im thinking these were certed by anonymous staff member number 154. Anonymous staff member 154 will be talked too sternly. For those who havent heard, the old anonymous 154 no longer works there, as he was given one talking too, too many.

I think this stuff gets blamed on the unknown authenticator but I don't buy it. I think Steve Sipe is authenticating and stickering all this junk. I've seen nothing that suggests otherwise.

I understand that no one is perfect, but the amount of blatant forgeries "certed" by GA is beyond a reasonable amount of mistakes. It seems there are dealers who are given an "automatic pass" when submitting their items to GA.

As I have said before I have read/witnessed LeBron's signing habits and you have about a 1% chance of getting an auto. The man ignores children/handicapped kids. It's sickening (and the reason I no longer like him). Where are these people getting JERSEYS signed perfectly at by the 100s? And all of them happened to send them to GA to be certed? LOL.

Jason, in your research have you kept track of CERT #s?

Keep in mind there might be a couple double numbers in this list I didn't have time to pull out all the double cert numbers yet, a couple I did catch.

Here is a list of the sellers of most of these LeBron James GA jerseys.

TORIL617

SOLLISSPORTS

AJSPORTS13

TREASUREGRAPHS

QUALITY-SPORTS-COLLECTIBLES

SPORTFISHINGG

DWGRAPHS

BAMBINOGRAPHS

HURLEY5875

TARHEEL_24

INSANE_COLLECTIBLES

BIGZSMEMORABILIA

AZSPORTSBARGAINS

AUCTION.JUNKIE.HERE

CERTIFIED-AUTOGRAPHS*COM

THECHARMINGBEE24

BAHUSKER

JAAUCTIONHOUSE

 

take a look at these sellers and they also have or had all of the Michael Jordans as well. From the note I have these sellers are all from the west coast, either Cali or AZ. LeBron and Jordan must LOVE to sign ONLY in Cali and AZ.

As I suspected, SIPE has NO comment..

I guess the point was made.
