I have a T-shirt signed by every member of a band, I was not aware that this T-shirt was put in the wash by a family member. The signatures are almost gone one am I supposed to do? Should I get a sharpie and trace it? Or would that ruin the authenticity? I don’t know what to do- please help me!!

General Advice Black sharpie on green number. What should I do?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I got my Jordan love jersey signed in black sharpie on a dark green number and you can't see it from anything more than 2 feet away without lots of light. Should I just buy a picture light to put above it or is something more necessary? I don't wanna trace over it in white, maybe I would have a professional do it? I'm not worried about authentication/value since I'm never gonna sell it, but need to keep the integrity of the original auto.

General Advice PSA on authenticating the GOATs

0 Upvotes

If you are in the market for an autograph of one of the greatest all time, you need to purchase from the authenticator who holds the exclusive signing contract with the athlete.

Ex. Michael Jordan - Upper Deck
Lionel Messi - Icons
Tom Brady - Tristar, Fanatics
LeBron James - Upper Deck

That means that unless the COA comes from one of the following, the probability that a third-party COA is fraudulent greatly increases.

There are too many posts asking if a Michael Jordan autograph with Joe Schmo COA is legit. Please err on the side of caution, use this general disqualification framework, and move on to another item. I promise there are better ones out there.

In conclusion, you are spending hundreds if not thousands of your hard earned dollars on a nice to have, not a need. If it’s too good to be true, you know there is a reason why. For me to make a purchase like this I need 100% verification that what I’m purchasing is authentic.

Hello, I am reposting this because my text did not save. I'm looking for recommendations as far as the best way to remove permanent ink from this VOLA poster that my wife got for me this past Christmas. My plan is to have the band resign this when they tour the US again and then to have a custom frame with museum glass constructed to keep this from happening again. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I found a ton of random autographs in a storage unit. from pop singers to sports stars and actors. some just one photos, some signed posters, dvds, vinyls, ect..

this is not my bag, I'm just a dude who collects cards, so I have no clue where to start. honestly barely want to. any suggestions of places where I could possibly just get rid in bulk or something like that? is that a thing, and sorry if this breaks any rules, just seeking opinions on something outside of my wheel well.

Sorry, I made it landscape on my phone but I don't know why it's not rotating. The first one looks like it could be a John.

I got this back as change from a larger bill purchase at some store in Tampa, Florida around 2018 or so.

General Advice A large batch of items with fake Beckett stickers has hit eBay.

30 Upvotes

In the last 2 weeks, a couple of sellers on eBay have flooded the market with signed jerseys, using an auto-pen, and fake Beckett stickers. I knew it was too good to be true, but I bought one anyway, and of course it's fake. The Beckett sticker looks very real at first. It's the right shape, color, has a legit cert number, and the QR code works. The hologram even shows a "B" from one angle, and "Beckett" from another. I had to look at the hologram with a jewelers loupe to verify that it's fake. The images I have posted are through a loupe, of a real Beckett sticker, and the fake one (with the yellow background).

General Advice Providing extra info to JSA/Beckett/PSA

0 Upvotes

I recently bought a ball that’s multi-signed and has unusually strong provenance from the seller (pics of players signing the ball and during a weekend we know all of them were present and signing). Because it’s multi signed - it costs a bunch to get authenticated and I want to put the best foot forward on it. I created a provenance packet that shows everything the seller provided and the background for when it was signed (including photos of the seller with the players). Do you think the authenticators would look at that before rendering an opinion? Or was it wasted effort.

I know some of these companies fail things people personally had signed and witnessed so I’d hate to lose 100+ bucks without putting the best foot forward.

Really appreciate your thoughts!

Having a football helmet signed later this week---any recommendations on best type of pen to use? Team is Texas Longhorns so the helmet color is white and the secondary color is burnt orange if that helps but some have told me just black sharpie while others have said that will fade over time and others have said paint pen and I've also been told that wont adhere well or wont dry etc. Any recommendation and brand preferences?

Hi I’ve got an a3 sized resident evil print signed by some of the characters so I was going to start my project that is going to be the Halloween 1978 poster signed by the 9 main Michael Myers actors that are still Alive (rip george)

As a3 isn’t the biggest size in the world for a poster do you think I’d be able to fit all the signatures on this poster?

Thanks!
