I respect what your doing here, I'm glad I stumbled upon this video. It's sad that people do this (buyers and sellers). I have an Emmitt Smith auto on a football, I got it signed by him personally. My auto collection is real, why, because I got my memorabilia signed in person by the athlete. It's really to bad that buyers of this crap cross their fingers when buying. Never buy an auto on Ebay it's easy, they are all over the place and should never be bought. "COA is weak" lol, funny as hell.
priddy is pretty bad. he has sold out to the making money paradigm of the authentication business. he is probably hanging on by a thread, so he passes a lot of stuff. his michael jacksons are bad.
@travrosty I totally agree with you about Priddy, Trav. I can't count the number of Michael Jackson forgeries he "authenticated." They were all horrible!!!
I have a Favre ball. It came with a COA and picture of him signing. Now obviously that could be fake. I doubt it though. Seller has sold thousands of autographed items, mostly Packers stuff from a collectibles shop in Wisconsin. I trust it 100%, and the signature is consistant with others. Question for this guy....you stress that the COA doesn't guarantee authenticity, which I understand all that. But my question is how can you ever guarantee authencity, even if its not Ebay?
The Crosby jersey and many others were authenticated by ACE Authentication, the CEO and head of authentication for them is Justin Priddy, former lead authenticator of Global-Priddy passed MANY fake items with Global certs including many Tiger Woods pieces.
@TomTresh2 Ebay actually had ACE on their banned list, but Priddy talked his way into having them accept his certs again by saying he was the authenticator of Global at one time and that they accepted Global certs, Ebay then gave in to him.
Let me get this straight..."most people who buy autographs, have no business buying autographs"...does that mean that people who don't buy autographs should be buying autographs....I am confused now. If you are doing these videos just to expose people then do that. I think the reason you don't educate others is because they may stop buying these things and you wouldn't have anything else to talk about on here.
@webbgem17 To tell you the truth, I'd rather not do these videos. It took me a year to convince myself to start exposing forgeries on YouTube. I've been writing about forgeries for years. I'm not here to educate. I'm here to expose.
The Wayne Gretzky autographs were so bad LOL. If you look at an Upper Deck Gretzky it's so clean and nice. But Vivagallardo comment is right some of the jerseys cost way more then they sold for. The seller must steal those jerseys or has an IQ less than 90.
lmao on the wayne gretzky jersey he spelled "wayne" worng.

@pazsky Not to mention all of the Michael Jackson forgeries that ACE has "authenticated." And I use the word "authenticated" loosely.

The sellers are actually losing money becuase the jersies cost more than what they are selling for.
