I dont know if my autograph is fake?

[Johnnyjay]

I bought this jersey. I asked Beckett if it was real and they said it likely wouldn't pass authentication. No reason given. It will cost $250 to find out. Not paying that if they already think it's fake. I want. to keep this but can't if it's fake. Do you see any obvious signs it's fake?

Fake

Real

I would say even if it's real, the celebrity could change his style of writing on the autograph to prevent people who know his writing style from forging his letters on cheques.

Where did you buy it? From the team store or online somewhere? If it's from the team store I'd say it's legit, but online is 50/50. I always get autographs in person so I know it's the real deal.

Ebay. Authentication site didn't work or find the Authentication number. Sounds sketchy. I really want it to be real because I got it for a good deal. If its not i just blew a good amount of money though.

[Bruins37]

My advice? Don't do anything. If you think it's real, leave as is so you don't get disappointed potentially.

Plus authentication really only matters if you want to sell it. I have many baseball cards signed but I'd never have them authenticated, as they're for my personal collection.

I have my own collection I'd never sell but this I bought to sell eventually. Not going to lie, I bought it for over $800. If it was real I think I could get $4,000 or more for it. If it's fake I just burned $800. It's very important real. Problem is that they said it's likely to fail, no reason given though. If I want it authenticated it's another $250. That's a lot for already going in thinking it could be fake. I can get a refund but need to make a decision quick. It's a tough situation

[Bruins37]

Yeah, I definitely can't help with that. I think you should just do what you want to do. Wish I could help ya more, I just haven't had a lot of "sports memorabilia purchasing" experience

Pay for the authentication, I wouldn't spend $800 on a chance

[Johnnyjay]

Then I'm out over $1,000 if it's fake. I'm probably just going to return it and get my money back. I want to keep it but I have a feeling I'd be stuck with the jersey and a $1000 loss.

You should defo get it authenticated.
