Ever since this rookie phenom broke into the league his autographs/cards have been a hot product. As of now I am the only person I know of who has studied Puig's autograph extensively around here so I felt the need to share some exemplars. I have exposed tons of Puig forgeries on this site, and will continue to do so. PSA/DNA listed Puig in their "Top 10 Most Forged Autographs" of 2013. IMHO about 15%-20% of Puig "autographs" on eBay at any given time are truly authentic.
In order to help, I am sharing some authentic exemplars, as well as some forgeries to help train your eyes.
AUTHENTIC EXAMPLES:
OLD SIG:
Authentic Flats:
Authentic Balls:
*NOTE: Towards the end of his rookie season, Puig started signing the side-panel WAY MORE often than the sweet spot. (Forgers have taken note of this as well)
Cards:
Authentic Helmets:
Some 2014 Spring Training autographs, his sig is evolving already:
Now I will share some FORGERY examples. Please note, I have seen forgeries certified by PSA/DNA as well as JSA. With Puig being such a new superstar, even the big authenticators are going to make their mistakes so be very careful. There are TONS of forgeries certified by Global Authentics.
I will try and keep this updated as much as I can. Be very careful when purchasing a Yasiel Puig autograph. Remember, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Also remember that a "COA" is just a piece of paper, and any seller not mentioning the COA is probably a scammer.
One of the worst fakes you'll ever see listed by eBay seller baseballman20147777 who says this was signed this year during BP. LOL. Puig does NOT sign on the sweet spot, and this is NOT his current signature style. Just another eBay scammer.

Dreadful fake listed by eBay seller emmsterspapa0623 who capitalizes "HOLOGRAMS" in the title to try and fool some moron buyer into paying for this crap. $30 BIN, clearly junk the forger didn't even try. Looks like this seller has other garbage as well:

More Puig crap listed by eBay seller okauthentics who has unlimited supplies of Global Authentics JUNK. This is the current "GA Puig Forgery" which is horrible:

Horrible "kitchen forgery" listed by eBay seller blackgold4ever who appears to be scribbling on cards and selling them as authentic autographs. This is just a pitiful attempt:
More GA Puig garbage, this listed by eBay seller usa-bullion-and-coin
You will not get an authentic Puig autograph for $60 BIN. He is a very tough autograph to get IP, and he has only done a few shows and his prices were $150+. I have yet to see ONE Puig "autograph" certified by GA that I would consider authentic IMO. Pathetic.

eBay seller just4youcrafts has 2 Yasiel Puig forgeries for sale, 11x14's with $50 BIN. Once again, you will not get an authentic Yasiel Puig 8x10 or 11x14 for $50 BIN.
Junk forgeries:

GA isn't even trying anymore, look at this garbage!

More laughable Puig CRAP listed by eBay seller this-n-thatsportscollectiblesplusmore who clearly has a "deal" with Global Authentics to rubber stamp any pathetic "signature" they come by. Just horrible, horrible forgeries that have no business being authenticated.

GA needs to be shut down and the people responsible (Steve Sipe and his goons) behind prison bars.
