You can go on eBay and find forgeries of average players selling for a few dollars that are fake. It is not just high end autographs, it is all autographs that get forged.

It goes as low as you could imagine. If a seller can scribble on their worthless base card and turn it into $1, they'll do it. No one is safe sadly.

There are sellers who continuously offer forged low value signatures on 3x5 cards or common baseball cards. These are $5 signatures or people you can get through the mail for free... and they are faking them! Nothing is immune to being faked. Nothing.

Do the math. 30 $3 fakes a week, all year long for 10 years. There are some sellers who have been doing it literally for a decade or longer.

I collect Braves only, and have seen forged Gregg Olsen sigs, faked Eddie Perez...etc! It boggled my mind that someone would bother with either but...people are greedy.

One thing seeing that fake Olsen did was teach me that I needed to learn my sigs as much as possible and also find some reliable resources to use for comparison. Don't assume just because this is the backup catcher that the auto will be genuine. LEARN YOUR PLAYER AUTOS!

Exhibit A:

PSA/DNA has been fooled by these as well, these will forever taint the hobby. It's sickening.

5 pages of feedback from the last month alone. Scribbling on your old base cards is a lucrative business on eBay.
