Authenticating an item of memorabilia has become a hard process especially signed shirts and signed balls. With so many forgers out there now legitimate companies need to be careful. It is hard to identify a real autograph without evidence because for one forgers are getting better using new techniques and secondly (this is especially applicable with signed shirts) the stars signature can vary from time to time. You cannot expect an autograph on a photo signed at a scheduled signing on a table to be the same as a shirt signed at a training ground on their knee. |
