Here is my issue:

This is, if anything, a very rushed and sloppy Koufax auto. If I obtained it myself IP and it was in my collection, then that is great. But the TPA didn't see it signed IP. They are 'authenticating' an autograph that looks nothing like his 'paid' autograph for the sole purpose of somebody else reselling it. This opens up the door to anybody and their dog faking Koufax autos. I am not sure if you ever go on eBay, but the number of reportedly signed IP Koufax autos from this past Spring Training is exorbitant. I was at Spring Training and Koufax did sign at spring training, but not the hundreds of sloppy IP TPA autos I have seen on eBay over the past 6 months. I have no proof, but I wouldn't be surprised if some people took this opportunity to fake a number of sloppy of Koufax autos, turn around and call them IP, and send them off to a TPA with their fingers crossed. That is my issue.
