They might not be the photos from these particular signings, but I have known jason for many years and his items are authentic without doubt.

As a friend you should tell him that it's very shady and unethical for him to claim proof when it isn't

If you looked at 100 items on eBay with the term PROOF you'd find this is common practice.  Proof added to the title means you have something, in most cases a photo, which proves you've met this individual (in most cases, some forgers buy proof images and use them to screw the unknowing).  Obviously some 'proof' is better than others.  Now sellers are also including VIDEO PROOF.  In most cases the VIDEO PROOF will show that item being signed.  When you see the exact item being signed either via photo or in a video it's referred to as EXACT PROOF.  Unfortunately as brought up previously in another post, some sellers are maliciously posting 'exact proof' in a title where it shows the star signing a similar item but not the exact so please look carefully.  Long story short, the seller is absolutely just to put 'proof' in the title.  What he shows is often what is to be expected.  It's not proof the item is real, it's just proof they met that individual.  Bid appropriately.

I know what proof means
But if you claim proof you should have proof, not proof you met but proof of it getting signed

If you know anything about operation bullpen you'll know people bought ali autographs because they were being sold by one if his former opponents, chuck wepner. What you're saying is that is proof enough when it definitely isn't....especially because they were all fake
