Ways to tell a Counterfeit Autograph

Most autographs that have been counterfeited or faked have strong break points in the signaature.  In another words the signatures is not fluid.  It shows in many spots that the counterfeiter has stopped the sharpie marker or pen to stop in a few different places to make sure that the autograph looks like the original.  This is extremly prevelant when the autograph has many rounded areas like in the letter “A” or “O”.

Another way to tell if an autograph is fake is simply by looking at the original letter by letter to review to see if they look the same.  This sounds pretty self explanatory but there are certain features in every signature that immediately stand out and if they are not alike than it is probably a fake.  The 1992 the FBI had a sting in the sports memorabilia industry looking for counterfeit autographs.  They believe that more than 60 % of the autographs being sold in the market are fakes.  This does not mean that the dealer or dealers selling them know that they are fake because they purchased them from other dealers who they thought were reputable.
