Paul Walker's autographs on eBay

They are all forgeries

14th of Oct, 2014 by User54841

Today is Operation Bullpen 15th Anniversary of the big takedown of the $100 million dollars autograph forgery scam that plagued from coast to coast in the late 90's and early 2000's. Right now you might have an autograph from a pro athlete or a famous movie star that is hanging on your wall. But how do you know if that prized signature is the real thing?
After the death of Paul Walker, a long time memorabilia collector contact me about an autograph he just purchased recently on an internet auction site, eBay. Using the service of PSA/DNA QuickOpinion, a reputable third party authentication company where collectors can have experts review the autographed item found in any online auction. It would saved a potential buyer from buying a forgery. I place the ebay item number onto the PSA/DNA QuickOpinion website and pay the fee and within 24hrs we got a response answer of "Not Likely Genuine". I did this with all the Paul Waker's autographs listed on eBay. They all came back all forgeries. These new generation of autograph forgers trying to make a quick buck off Paul Walker's death by selling fake autographs to uneducated buyers. They need to apologize to the family, friends, and fans of Paul Walker. If you have been the victim of this scam, customers need to report the frauds to ebay. File a report to your credit card companies and obtain a statement copy from PSA/DNA of the fraud to get your credit card to reverse the charges.

psa quick opinion NOT RELIABLE, e, Bay doesn't even use there quick Opinion as a source anymore.

I had a quick opinion before, Auto, I got in person just to test there service and they said "Not Likely Genuine"
WHICH IS WRONG

So your list is USELESS.

As to quick opinions, these are done using scans. There is not a big auction house or reputable store in the land that would accept that practice. Examining the item in person and studying the signature and materials involved is the only accepted way to assure authenticity.

"I saw on another forum that a member did a quick opinion on a Kobe auto as a test. It was said it wasn't genuine. The member then posted the photo of Kobe actually signing the jersey to prove his point.
I've even seen some UDA autos that deviate a little from normal autos that I feel if the sticker was cropped out that psa wouldn't pass it at first glance.
Again, I think there should be another, middle option"

"I've seen a few things fail quick opinion but then pass full authentication. It can be frustrating but for $10 you get what you pay for!"
