I have been emailing with former pitcher Brian Hollman off and on for many years. Ever hear of him, probably not but you can go on eBay and find fake autos of his. So yes even people you never heard of that will happily sign anything for free have their autos forged all the time.
I honestly would only trust an auto I personally got directly from the player while watching them sign the item. Just my opinion.
