  As a former authenticator for one of the biggest company specialize in authenticating authographs of celebrities and sport athletes, I come to realize ebay have a big problem on their hands trying to figure whether a seller is selling a real autograph or fake. I will put it at 90% are fake in the ebay market today. Even if the item has been graded by PSA/DNA, some are forged so good that they still pass.

I was looking at ebay seller tmoney8484  He's a top-rated seller. You guess if he's a top seller that he's a good seller to deal with. To be a Top-rated Seller you need to sell at least 100 item and $3,000 dollars worth. Seller been on ebay since 2003. So he got about 8 years of experience to fine tune his craft. A lot of the items he sale come with a proof photo. It really doesn't mean much other than a person signing a particular item in the photo. Does the proof photo match the item the seller is actually selling? If not, the seller probably got it off the internet from somebody else.

 Next he have videos. But there are drawbacks. Most of the videos I seen so far are of celebrities signing random items from fans or show the star in front while he hold the autograph item as the video is rolling.  I'm 100% sure he just show up at these signing event with the item already signed by himself. Yes, he FORGE majority of their autographs except some of PSA/DNA. The kid is clever. He did his online homework and go where the celebrity is at.

He mention on his ebay auction "Don't be fooled by fakes on eBay. If it seems too cheap or too good to be real, it probably is a fake." In his case, all he's doing is jacking up the prices.

ebay seller ID autographhistory & ebay user ID tmoney8484 are the same person SCAMMING buyers selling FAKE autographs

AUTHOR: Ex-Authenticator - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, November 08, 2011

It took me less than a day to break this ring involving 2 sellers or one of the same of deceiting customers with the intend of selling FAKE autographs of athletes and celebrities. What I find out was very disturbing and quite rampant in celebrity autograph industry and sports memorabilia. How do the scam work? The seller will get one item autographed by the celebrity or athlete and would tell customers they have gotten a few more signed by that certain celebrity/athlete. The one that was sign for real by that actual person depending how popular they are would get it authenticated by a third-party authentication company such as PSA/DNA or JSA. They say they will begin to get more of their autographs authenticated but they won't because these are the ones that they forge their signatures and will never pass. Avoid buying from http://stores.ebay.com/autographhistory and http://stores.ebay.com/Highly-Collectible-Autographs  By the way, check out their Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/user/HighlyCollectible  http://www.youtube.com/user/theautographguy

Very similar videos!!! Check it out. Don't take my word for it. Compare each and you'll find the truth.

Another thing I hate about these two scammers that they are both Top-rated seller. Seriously, can you believe 2 crooks on ebay selling us fake autographs are Top Seller? Give me a break! If you can't trust a Top-rated seller then who can you trust? People, you need to do your homework. Is the best advice I can give to you. I hope someone have the guts and turn in these bad guys to their local law enforcement.
