fulcrum Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Well tell all! What was your score on the spot the fake autograph competition? Mine was 9 wrong which I was told was "yeah....umm quite average really" which I think was a nice way of saying "you really have no clue do you?" So come on don't be shy!

GoldenGreen Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I didn't officially play, but if you didn't know already it is a warning for anyone that gets autos through the mail, some of the secretarial or the printed sigs did look pretty good.

Niallsdad Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I also got 6 wrong and was well pleased to learn that despite that I'd still got a prize. One of the signatures I got wrong was of Mel Gibson. Ironic as of all the autographs on display, his was the only one that I actually have in my collection (and know to be genuine). Thought it was a great idea to have these guys at the event. Forgery/Secretrial is a major problem in this hobby and I found it very intereting to talk to them and obtain their advice, not least as they were able to confirm that a Clint Eastwood item I'd bought some time ago (supported by a full COA of course) was in fact a Secretarial despite the seller assuring me both before and after the sale that it had been obtained 'in-person'. Have since notified the seller of their comments and have received a full refund as a result. I certainly hope that they are invited back in March as we cannot have enough of their expertise and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fry Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I didn't officially play, but if you didn't know already it is a warning for anyone that gets autos through the mail, some of the secretarial or the printed sigs did look pretty good. 889188[/snapback] It was a dealer that came out top. 901209[/snapback] Is that because there are so many dealers out there selling fakes?
