Check out this brutal Koufax signed 3 x 5 on eBay!

[Scott Garner]

Check out this picture below of eBay auction # 280729229207.

I sent the eBay seller a message letting him know what he was selling and here was his response back:

"Thanks for your opinion. I bought it off of eBay after a PSA/DNA quick opinion, which noted it as likely genuine. The only discrepancy is the "k", which appears he was just rushed when he signed it. My autographs are not only subjected to quick opinion, but also message boards with tons of years of combined experience (sports collectors.net)

What are your opinions on this Koufax signature? IMHO it's horrible and not even close.

Scott- Speaking of Koufax and for that matter Hank Aaron. Do they have an official signing option set up like Musial or Berra?

I think I have asked this before but did not get a response. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra to get the real McCoy. Do any other HOFers have a agency set up to order from?

Mike,
Koufax definately does not offer this option, and I don't believe Aaron does either.

Koufax is tied to some kind of exclusive deal with Steiner presently. He rarely does signing of any type, but Steiner within the last 2-3 years did allow fans the opportunity to get a limited number of items signed by Koufax at a private signing for $600 + per item, depending on what it was. At $600, I personally am out, FWIW.... Too bad!

The ONLY decrepancy is the K? This looks pretty bad to me.

Scott,
I am also a member ay SportsCollertors.net. It is a website devoted primarily to autographs with a specific emphasis on TTM experiences, sharing addresses, etc.
It does have many experienced and knowledgable collectors, some of whom are respected members here as well. There is no way in hell that would ever get validated as good on that website.
I did a search of the board posts there and did not find a single post asking for an opinion on this Koufax. I went back about 8mo or so.
If you're feeling argumentative, feel free to call him out on the above fact and see what he says.
Best,
Mark

Update!

Just to be complete, I happen to find the guys profile on SCN and reviewed his posts. I just found a thread on SCN where he sold a Koufax signed 3x5, but the picture is gone. I don't know if it's the same one or not.
He had a bunch of Different things for sale. A couple of them I thought were a little off, but most of his stuff seemed pretty good.

FYI
