Go to my web page - www.richardsimonsports.com/hofauto2.htm and scroll down on the page, you will see some examples of bogus autographs on these modern day cards. I have written extensively about this problem and illustrated what I wrote.
Some of these companies used to buy from reputable dealers but for some reason, probably financial, they started to spread their buying around. And with the know nothings that worke for those companies, they wound up buying forgeries. I have also seen ghost signed (wife ghost signed mostly) autographs on some of those cards.
I agree with Phik in his comments about the look of the cards, the look of a vintage autograph on those modern cards is not an attractive one IMHO. |
Ditto. Stay away from those cards and buy undamaged vintage items from reputable dealers such as Richard.
To my knowledge, serious collectors tend to avoid manufactured cut cards.
