Does anyone know anything about Star Connection Memorabilia?

Looking for information on a company called Star Connection Memorabilia located in Chicago, apparently the COA's they give are fake, just want to know if anyone has dealt with them.

I don't know if there are many cases of fake COA's, but there are many, many fake autographs that come with COA's.

Unfortunately, I think it's somewhat common for COA's to be issued by a phantom company. I've seen it tons of times on ebay over the years, as I'm sure many of the other forum members have.

But I can't speak specifically about the company you're referring to, as there doesn't seem to be much info about them out there (at least that I can find immediately) Maybe they were a big scam. Or maybe they were in business only a short time but were actually legit. The best thing to do if you have a question about a specific autograph is post an image and ask for opinions.

Here's a link to the item with a COA from SCM:

Is it legit?

Ah, I see what you mean. Looks like a scam to me - i.e. COA from a business that doesn't exist (P.O Box listed as the address). Personally, I don't know Brady's sig very well, but I would be shocked if this is real given how incredibly shady the source is and how limited Brady's signings are. Many on this forum are saying to stick with Tristar for Brady items. (You may want to add a Tom Brady reference of some sort to the title of this topic to attract the right knowledgeable people).

I just have to point this out - framing any COA with an item is just plain awful. Framing a worthless COA with a likely fake item is especially sad.
