How to Spot a Fake Autograph: Jordan, LeBron, Tiger... and a $25 Reality Check
Think that autograph is real? Think again. At DJR Authentication, we see forged and misrepresented signatures every week — many submitted in good faith by collectors, sellers, and estate inheritors. But even experienced buyers get it wrong. That’s why quick expert evaluation is more important than ever.
These four items were all submitted recently through our $25 Fast Opinion service:
✓ Michael Jordan signed basketball
✓ LeBron James signed jersey
✓ Tiger Woods signed photo
✓ Tony Parker signed jersey
Each was believed to be real. But after professional review, all four were determined non-authentic due to inconsistencies in:
✓ Signature shape and slant
✓ Letter structure and spacing
✓ Ink flow and writing pressure
✓ Comparison with verified exemplars
The truth? Fakes are everywhere — and some of them are shockingly convincing. But they rarely hold up to expert analysis.
Before you buy, sell, or frame it… stop and get it checked.
Our $25 Fast Opinion is fast, affordable, and gives you peace of mind.
Conclusion:
Even if you’ve owned something for years — or picked it up from a “reputable” seller — a second opinion could save you from costly assumptions. At DJR Authentication, we make it easy to verify your item’s value or authenticity from anywhere.
