Second, and I think most common, is that by going through the exact details of why a signature looks forged gives those who forge an instructions manual in how to make their items more realistic.
Perhaps if you asked in a private email, you may be able to get a more detailed explanation.

Best,

I agree especially with the 2nd part of your explanation. There are certain characteristics about cards that I won't share publicly, on how to detect fakes, with some esoteric sets. There is 100% possibility that scammers read our board. I have even been criticized by one idiot for not doing so.
