2001 Fleer Legacy #102 Albert Pujols Autograph Fake?

[frankhardy]

I am not an expert on Pujols autographs, but I could play one on TV if given the chance....

If I saw that autograph on an "authentic" card straight out of a pack.....or if I that autograph was authenticated by anyone.....I would immediately look at it and say that it is a fake.

Pujols' autograph changed over the course of the 2000's decade. An early Pujols autograph is more slanted. Then over the next couple of years, it appears more straight up and down.

If you are wanting a real Pujols autograph, I would stay away from this one because this one is fake.

Even though it wasn't pulled from the auction others must have felt the same as it got a single $100 bid.

I was putting together a 500 Home run collection and came across another one of these on the bay. A little research showed that many of these fakes showed up after the Fleer auction. I sent a note to seller and he replied that knew it was bad, but he bought it at a show and was just trying to get his money back confused. My favorite net 54 quote is buy the card not the flip.

At this point I am just dissapointed that Mile High didn't pull it. I really didn't think it was an original released card, but I was not positive. As stated since the bidding was weak it appears I am not the only one. Yet still someone got it and will be attempting to pass it on once they learn the truth.
