Was this trolling? I did research, and applied that to what the OP received, and others agreed with me. I've been collecting, and at one time selling, autographed merch for over 20 years. I have no need nor care to be "right about everything." If I'm unsure, I don't bother posting, as I personally find off the cuff opinions to be pointless. People cannot take constructive critique on this forum. I don't get it. A couple years ago, I had an autographed item by the late Dale Earnhardt invalidated by several long-time collectors on Autograph Live, and I was devastated as I've had it on my wall for 15 years! I took it down, and replaced it with something else. If I wanted an item simply for display, I'd have just printed an authentic copy myself and stuck that in a frame.
To me, the fact that the celebrity at least gave the short time to read my note and sign is a great feeling. However, I want it to be real, if it's not, I'm very unhappy, feel like I wasted my time. So I come here to see results, and decide who to try for. I appreciate those who tried originally, and provided early feedback, which were clearly secs in this case. That saved me money and time and effort. I try to analyze where I feel I can, and contribute back. I am the farthest thing from a troll. Two guys come off like crazed UFO believers. You're welcome to ignore my findings, that's your preference, but to sarcastically come after my integrity without offering a single legitimate counterpoint? Snyder found plenty of IP VV evidence for Bruce, which anyone with eyesight can see does NOT match the VV TTM results. If you can't see that, then you need another hobby, because these clearly do not match. Might as well have signed it yourself. Copying Bruce sig probably would come out closer than these.
Relax Greg, I don't really think you're trolling. I'm interested in the real sig too, I just happen to think you're wrong. I'm only calling you a troll (as a joke) because you seem determined to disprove everyone's success. And when one is proven authentic (even by PSA/DNA, or whoever) even that won't convince you otherwise. No need to go into a diatribe every response. Relax bud, if anything, you'll read that I was defending your character. Give me a few, because I'm about to show you who is blind as a bat! Unlike you Greg, I provide evidence. Which goes a lot farther than your 20 year collecting opinion.
