Here's the Pujols.

Hamilton is real, I have a few that look like that. It is his "rushed" crowd signature.


Won't speak on the other 2

Thanks. Anyone have thoughts on the Pujols and Trout?
For me Trout is a very difficult auto because it's so short. There's just not a lot to go off of to deem if it's authentic or not.

They all look "right" and the ball isn't a pearl. Seems like if someone were going to forge them, they'd put the sigs on a clean, new ball, and probably would've had Pujols on the sweet spot. I think it's legit.

The odd thing is that is a Pujols "sit down" signature and not a rushed game signature-the 2 signatures look nothing alike. Most sit down signatures in the last 2 years (since Trout has played in the MLB) are authenticated by his company. I would ask the seller how he got Pujols, and if he says before a game, that is a warning sign that signature is probably not good. The rest of the signature looks pretty spot on.

The only thing possibly odd IMHO with the Pujols is that the top of the A and P doen't curve left. Here is my IP sit down signature I got from him at a charity signing in 2010 if it helps-

I've gotten each of these guys in person in parking lots multiple times when they weren't rushed. I am very skeptical of the Pujols (looks like a paid graph but too good) and the Trout is too neat too.

Thanks guys. I've also gotten Hamilton in person twice and this one looks pretty good to me. Really needed help on Pujols and Trout. I really appreciate the input.

Who's the "Jackson Pollock" signature below Pujols?

ichiro. there seems to be some stoppage between the M and T in trout, which is not the norm i believe.

same style from good sources:

I guess the bottom line is, good luck authenticating Trout's scribble. The post above shows 4 Trout OMLBs and every one of them looks different.

We have paid professionals for that. ;)
