Just a quick question for you guys regarding a piece of signed Tyson memorabilia

[hardmanbrit]

I want a second opinion; does this look genuine to you?

I am a huge fan of Iron Mike. I think that he is the most exciting Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World that there ever was, and I strongly believe that if he had kept the great Kevin Rooney as trainer he would be the only unbeaten Heavyweight World Champ ever, aside from Marciano of course.

So guys, those of you who know what Iron Mike's signature looks like, do you think this is genuine or not?

There's a picture of Mike signing a glove, not the picture. I wouldn't bet on it being legit.

i own over 300 autographs from singrs, bands, athletes, actors and actresses... if it doesnt come with a certificate of authenticity from a LEGIT company, then dont buy it...

Fake autographs is one of the biggest businesses on the net.


if your buying AYTHING having to do with sports.... you want an UPPER DECK CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY

HaHA.. Upper Deck doesn't handle Boxing **** do they? Besides, even Upper Deck has ****ed up and released certified fakes to the public through their retail merhandise. Real Sports did an expose and the show featured a quad cut signature with Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, ect. that sold for over $70,000 and it was issued by UD and certified by Beckett. It was actually Beckett's eBay account that sold the card and it turned out to be FAKE.

You never know with these autos.. But in the case of this Tyson I'd say there's a 51% chance it's real based on the signature, the user's feedback, ect. You get bounced off of eBay quick for fakes and they have cleaned house a few times recently. Celebs and athletes themselves have reported these frauds. It's funny because Real Sports went on Ebay with John Elway and he looked at his signed helmets, jerseys, ect. and John said about 80% of the **** was fake. Almost all of it.

Thank you very much, everyone.

Really?

Is that so?

[hardmanbrit]

I would hope it is real, but I suppose no one will ever really know.

Iron Mike couldn't write (or read) or sign an autograph. He could just repeat big words like "impregnable" and "impetuous". So it's fake.
