After reading Operation Bullpen , I became even more skeptical of the autograph authentication companies out there. The biggest reason is the forgers had their own person doing the authenticating! The scam was even more intricate because his last name was DiMaggio, making it harder for people not to believe. The article I posted here talks about fake memorabilia sold to trading card companies. These days I mostly get my autographs in person or through the mail or TTM for short. I wrote about TTM in another post.
In the end, you need to ultimately decide if paying to have someone tell you if your autograph is real or fake is worth the price of submission. Take time to educate yourself, I have merely provided a little bit of the information out there. Be aware of who you are dealing with and make an informed decision. I always say if you have to ask if it's real, maybe you shouldn't buy it.
