A few years ago I decided to get some opinions. P.A.A.S struggled but eventually came back no. PSA took lots of extra time, but also came back no. I knew Wayne Stivers (a UACC contact) take a look and he eventually said no. - with certainty
So, I put it away in my closet for years. I know it's fake now.
Thoughts on what I missed? It bugged me because I spent so much time on his auto, and still got it wrong.
Thanks, Casey

The paraph is wrong. That's the first thing that jumped out at me.
Fun fact: Paraphs were usually added to signatures in the old days in order to prevent forgeries.
