Simple search on Google said this.
Yes, forging autographs on sports memorabilia, even if you don't intend to sell them, is generally considered illegal as it constitutes a form of fraud, as you are still creating a false representation of someone else's signature, which can be punishable by law depending on your jurisdiction; meaning simply creating a fake autograph, regardless of the intent to sell, can still be considered a crime.
Half of n54 seem to be lawyers. Maybe they know more.
But I'd imagine if you filled a warehouse up with forged autographs but never sold any that you'd still be in some big trouble.
