This is the seller: spam. This is a link to his store: stores.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/spam If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, right? This guys got signed 8x10's for Cheap of Austin&Owen, Perfect&Flair, Vince&Flair, Bret&Austin, etc. I'd just like to know your guys opinions before I decide to make any purchases, thx

You never know, but he probably isn't. Even if he is, I've never understood paying for autographs you didn't get in person. You never know unless you see them sign it, and then there is no story to tell with it.

i recognized that userid from the other day when I noticed he was selling 4 of the Undertaker 1/100 figures. They have good feedback so they must have some great connections.
My first thought was that the autographs were copies, but he's saying they are all original. Must just have a big network of fools who attend all these sessions and stand outside arenas with tons of photos.

His feedback is excellent, so i don't think they are fake. He must have connections.

I questioned this myself, as I see he has some very nice items and some nice proof like the ortons and kennedys and candice. i dont know where he got those candice and kennedy photos from but those are bad a**. anyway to cut things short i sent a undertaker a mr perfect triple h and shawn michaels to psa/dna and they all came back good. so now i got coa with his pics hanging on my wall.. seller has great feedback also ill continue shopping. hope this has helped.

I see in one auction 7.99 for a final bid for a Hogan/Piper signed 8X10, I don't think so. This seller has way too much product. Either he is signing everything himself of he has someone doing them for him. I would stay away from this one..

I took a look around his store and I compared the autographs to other items all over the net and on wwe's site and either he has some mad connections, or this is the best damn forgery I've ever seen. Autographs like shawn michaels, undertakers, jeff hardys, and randy ortons are not easy to write yourself and make it look so clean. Take a look at those wrestlers signatures specifically and you know what I mean. Who knows though, the guy says he's been specializing in wrestling memorabilia for 15 years so it is possible he's legit. Wrestling autographs aren't exactly highly sought after except for wrestling fans you know so I understand the prices. Now if he was charging these prices for say a signed 8x10 of michael jordan or kobe bryant or even celebrities like an angelina jolie I would call him on it.

Wrestling is wrestling there are many fans, but not many people are into autographs. How can 1 person forge everybodys autograph so good and the same everytime. the man has proof of some of the wrestlers in there house. actual proof of them with a bed in the backround etc. I can see if he had Jordan jeter willie mays babe ruth etc. Top notch names but this is wrestling to us its a big deal but to other people why not. also undertakers autograph. I believe is almost impossible to even get the first 3 letters down. it got me dizzy looking at it

Thanks fataldesire for backing me up on that last post. Takers signature is insane to the point I think a smart fan could tell if someone attempted it. Same for ortons, I personally can tell when someone tries to forge his. Jeffs and Shawns are pretty hard to forge as well. Anyways, for those still in doubt, I took my signed trish poster witch I witnessed being signed with my own eyes and put it up against his, and its dead on. I also have one of those melina posters that has a copy of her signature and compared those, and once again it looks spot on.

He's a 15 YEAR OLD KID. (or maybe 16 now.) He used to haggle me on the classifieds. Yes he was Eugene4Life and yes he did get banned. I put his e-mail address in MySpace once last year (because he was so aggravating I wanted to see what he looked like) and it was a 15 year old kid and his girlfriend standing together in a basement surrounded by boxes (I guess all his figs). Anyone can buy figs but a 15 year old having connections to all the big names in wrestling? He can't even drive. Even if he did, how would one even have the time to do all this traveling and keep up their eBay store? Impossible. You guys realize you don't have to fake these things by hand. They have machines you can buy where you scan the signature and the machine reproduces it exactly as scanned. "Auto pen" machines or something like that. You slide the photo threw the machine and it writes it for you. So it's actually signed in real ink, just signed by a computer copier. Celeb agencies use them for sending out signed head shots to fans. It's kind of like printing fake money. I believe that's what he does. So sure an autograph grading company would think the sig as accurate. It's an auto pen copy of the real sig! Then how does he get them on figures, and belts? How doeshe have those crazy inscriptions on his John Morrison Promos? I find it hard to believe that its efficient to fake this stuff. Seems way more logical to just pay the stars at their hotels and get a large number signed, or do a bulk mail-away signing. Heck, I'm doing a large mail-away with Jake Roberts and used to do many, many items with Chris Benoit, as i knew him. Really, this doesnt surprise me at all, as with autopen, they would all be exactly the same, and his signatures have reasonable variance. Go write your name 100 times and tell me it looks EXACTLY the same every time, because it doesn't, so some autographs will look different, and his do, within reason

alright, seems a lot of people are divided on how this kid has autographs of all top stars past, present, or dead. So if he really is only 15/16, how is he doing it? the auto pen theory seems logical, but its not just photos he has. I myself am wondering how this kid or whoever it is has access to so many wrestling superstars. Like I said, the signatures look legit but I am curious.
