RedsSKINS_7 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 let me start out by saying you are so lucky but moving on.... i'm not an expert but it looks pretty real to me because it looks like the first letter looks like "he" wrote it and it was not copied i hope you understand what i mean it is kind of hard to explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortisClinton Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 Picked it up on Ebay the guy had alot of positive feedback so I bid for it and won it. I have since wrote him and asked him where he got it from and I'm still waiting for a response. He did say he got the autograph in person though. :bucsuck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tells me that you have serious doubts about the authenticity. I have seen a few of Moss' sigs and if it makes you feel any better, it looks legit to me.

Well I only got to see it after I received it I thought it looked legit too but just being curious you never know how valuable it may be in the future the way he's playing. Thanks for the feedback though. :bucsuck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaderock Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Be very careful on ebay - lots of fakes out there. I collect Mark Brunell and I see sellers (both Power sellers and newbies) trying to scam people all the time. Here's some bogus samples. The 1st one is currently on ebay and the 2nd one is an older fake. For real Brunell autos all you have to do is go to my site for comparison. Appreciate any and all Extremeskins members to sign my guestbook - thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freud69 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 If it is from a person who calls themselves ukredskins, I would be a bit concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple6mafia Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I think it's real, but my autograph is at home. I think my friend has his down here, so i can check on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one looks really fake. id guess it is real though, because santana seems like a good guy. What does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drockvb Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 It is really a crap shoot. I bought a Vladimir Guerrero photo on ebay recently at a great price. It came with a picture of Vlad at the signing, a post card sized certificate of authenticity with halogram, and a halogram on the actual photo. The seller also had great seller stats, so i think it was the real deal. But with any autograph you buy on line you can never really be 100% sure of it's authenticity.

jaw3232 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I have found the best way to get a comparison is to go on ebay and search through cards/memorabilia, and perform a detailed search (completed items), use the "name of the player" and "auto" in the description. All the current card manufacturers insert autographed cards into card packs these days. These cards are authenticated and usually numbered as a limited set. I suggest buying those cards versus a regular card that someone got autographed. These cards from the manufacturer will cost you more, but they will also hold some value depending on how big of a start they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaw3232 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I just checked ebay and searched under "cards", with "moss auto" as the description. There are some very nice autographed cards that are legit. Most are him as a Jet though. Add "redskins" to the description and there is one really cool looking SPX card as a redskins. It even has a piece of actual "game used" jersey insert into the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaw3232 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Sorry for the multiple posts. I just visited your site Jaderock. I thought I was big Brunell fan. I step aside, way aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmorris Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Also, a reputable company that deals in auto's will give you an "insured" letter of authenticity. I'd imagine that going with a strong company would eliminate any doubt of authenticity. I could be wrong, but that's what I'd look for. Ask questions about the letter, date, location of signing etc. I'm not really a collector of autos, but there's a lot of information on the net if this is going to be something you choose to invest in. I've been collecting Redskin TOPPS sets from '48 to the present. For me there are just too many card companies saturating the market with gimmik cards, so I stick to the classics. Good luck.
