Beware of fakes with MLB & other holograms!
I was perusing McGwire autographs on Ebay and came across this...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mark-McGwire...item27d4c585ae
As a McGwire collector and authenticator I saw the autograph did not look authentic, however the item has an MLB hologram. I looked up the number and sure enough it says it was a team USA McGwire signed jersey. So now I am really worried because I really haven't seen bogus MLB stuff. The seller is in Taiwan ( a big maker of counterfeit jerseys) and has other big named signed jerseys with holograms. One is a Hank Aaron signed jersey with a Goldin hologram. I contacted Ken and he confirmed that it looked like his hologram but that Hank never signed that type of jersey for him. So I figured I'd give a heads up. This guy is selling high end names with all different holograms (including UDA) and I am very dubious about their authenticity. Not sure if they are fake holograms or taken from legit items. Other opinions??
