There are also a ton of Jeter forgeries with Steiner holograms and the sellers NEVER have the Steiner cert card.

I wonder if that is why Steiner has changed their hologram sticker that now has a serial number on it.

Reading the thread on the other site the one thing I find most amusing/interesting is that these questionable Willie Mays autographs originate in Florida. What an amazing coincidence.
What once was the Sunshine State is now the state with a VERY dark cloud over it, for multiple reasons.

+100

All of that GFA-certed crap (both the machine-produced and hand-penned forgeries) originate from Florida.

So are the TPAs just denying anything with a Willie Mays say hey hologram on it? That would be unfortunate, as the company was once legitimate on the not too distant past. I have a couple of items with a say hey hologram on them.

From my reading, of the Autograph Magazine thread, it appears that PAAS was denying the hologram autographs and JSA and PSA were authenticating them.
Please correct me if I missed something.

AH, a whole new branch of the industry has opened up. The hologram forger.
How nice of them to share their skills with the rest of us.
I am waiting for an auction on ebay to appear offering these holograms.
