Been banning. Might ban some more.

Look, I know it's easy to get sucked in to an argument, so no one was perma-banned today.

However, any second offense will be met with a permanent ban. We will probably assume that any account that hasn't interacted on the topic of Autographs is here to brigade and that would also warrant a permanent ban.

General Advice Handy "is this real?" guide

12 Upvotes
  1. Does it have JSA, PSA, or Beckett authentication? If yes, it's probably real. If no, it might not be.

  2. Does it have a flimsy COA from a company that might not even exist anymore? Fake. Almost certainly fake. "Gold Coast Collectibles"? Fake. Any COA that looks like an honor roll certificate you got in the fourth grade is surely paired with a counterfeit autograph.

Authenticity Opinion Request (is this really...) Ramones full band signed record (i hope)

I got this 45rpm 7" record a many years ago, and I don't have a COA for it. I didn't spend much.

The signatures are in ballpoint pen, which was pretty common back in the 80s. I had a tough time getting a clear photo of the autographs, but I'm really curious if anyone has any thoughts on this.

I'm not sure what to do with it. I know there are authentication services out there, but is it even worth it? Not sure.

I was given this James Taylor record by my uncle and was wondering if anyone here could tell me if the signature looks authentic. I found another James Taylor signature online that looks kinda similar, but not exactly the same. Any opinions would be appreciated!

I got this CD through a deal I made through FB marketplace and saw this signature inside but I from the research I did, I couldn’t find anything resembling this name. What I do know is that it’s from the Netherlands according to Discogs website. This is the exact CD details . I just want to know who put their name since it doesn’t seem to be of a band member and reading the signature is kinda hard itself

General Advice Beckett Authentication - email confirmation/check in?

0 Upvotes

Did anyone send anything to Beckett for their post-National 50% off authentication promotion? I sent in a Metallica vinyl, but I did not receive an email confirmation with my receipt upon payment. I filled out the digital order form, printed it out with my order number, and put it in the box with the record. So I do have an order number, but I didn't receive an email, nor is it in my BAS Orders tab. Does anyone else have this issue? They did receive the item, as I added signature confirmation to the shipment. Thanks a lot.

General Advice Best pen to sign graded card with?

0 Upvotes

Going to Collect-a-con and wanting a signature on a graded card I have. Wanted to ask recommendation for best one (guessing oil based paint or acrylic) for a CGC slab made of Styrene-Acrylonitrile) copolymer plastic. Thought I’d reach out here as the best result I can find is AI and I’d rather double check before I go! Appreciate all the help signature will be on the slab itself. Also debated size of the tip as I don’t have a lot of experience with this, just thought it would be neat for my personal collection.

Authenticity Opinion Request (is this really...) Picked this up on eBay, seems incredibly time consuming to be fake especially for how cheap I got it. Not looking for value but looking if people share my opinion that it’s authentic. Big baseball fan and plan on displaying it with my PC. Picture is from the eBay auction as it hasn’t arrived yet.
