Ace strikes again! Another poor forgery authenticated. Why dont they just sell their holograms and COAS blank for $20 and save people shipping it back and forth.

As much as they overcharge, if you are going to buy pieces like this, stick with Steiner Sports.

While Steiner is obviously a safe bet, bear in Mind Rivera is a great signer in-person and through other sources as well. I have about 35 Rivera signed items in my collection, and only 2 or 3 came from Steiner. They are all 100% no-doubt authentic including those that did not come from Steiner.

You can get a good deal on un-certed Riveras at a fraction of Steiner prices if you know what you are looking for. Unfortunately, anything from ACE / Justin Priddy is almost assuredly not going to be one of those good ones.

As others have stated, this is unfortunately a common fake style.

Regrettably, ACE / Justin Priddy has certed mass-quantities of this obvious forgery style. It is no surprise ACE / Justin Priddy has been banned by ebay. So, dishonest sellers go to places like Craigslist to dump this junk.

I knew this looked familiar. I got an e-mail just now, look what I was offered:

Pretty sure this was offered to me a few months ago too and I told him it was a forgery. Funny how he's a apparently a resident of the U.S. on his AML profile.

LOL WOW, So the idiot who bought it off Craigslist is trying to find an idiot equal to himself to pawn it off on? What a dirtbag.

Thanks for sharing.

Yep, I believe I know the source he got it from.
