Easier to fake, easy to prove not authentic.

Just a typical day on Ebay where the sellers of crap (Ebay seller Oldieworld) flood Ebay with their forgeries.
Look at this garbage Lou Gehrig forgery listed by Ebay seller Oldieword. http://www.ebay.com/itm/282241908374...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Oldieworld-Gehrig-2.jpg Last edited by thetruthisoutthere; 11-05-2016 at 10:53 AM. |

I find these type threads are both fascinating and repulsive. Am I THAT boring that I would NOT rip people off like this? Id rather be really poor, etc, than cheat people. I wouldn't even offer a 50cent Phil Simms book as signed because it didn't look right.
PITIFUL that ebay doesn't care either. As everyone says, if it looks too good, it probably is, and EDUCATE yourself

What about the autograph itself. I'm trying to educate myself and make sure I know what to look for...I look at it, it seems to generally match scans, and without the contextual "other items" for sale, and such (I agree that Clemente is terrible), if i saw this or the Gehrig at a show I might splurge. How specifically can I tell a fake? Thanks in advance.

Forgers are not stupid, they try to generally match the actual autograph. There are various degrees of skill among forgers. It does take time and a good eye to pick up on this garbage. It is not something that can be easily explained in a few sentences on a forum.

Cool - are there more extensive articles or blogs you suggest reading, or is it just a matter of time?
