Albert Pujols/Matt Holliday/Yadier Molina Collector Thread

Just hit this and going to get it graded-- sharp as a tack!



According to the odds, there is one of these Pujols per 1000 master cases of product.

If you could, can you explain why you believe they are real? That may help

The card was bought at a local card shop and I have known the guy 3+ years, he would not lie about a fake autograph. The ball, was signed right in front of me at a game. It was Camera Night at the ballpark, in which fans go on the warning track and the players walk around and take pictures, sign things, etc. I happened to get lucky and got him to sign a ball. There is my explanation, please let me end this conversation right now like I planned to do a couple of posts ago!

There's a lie. I am an usher at Busch Stadium players are not allowed to sign for anyone during photo day. Like I said had Pujols signed it in person you would have got his APS signature on a side panel. Albert Pujols would have never, never signed for a person during photo day because the players are asked not to, secondly Pujols wasn't exactly fan friendly and third there's 2500 people on the track on photo day Pujols signing would have been a mess. Pujols did not sign that in front of you during photo day. As far as the card, any one in the business of making money does not care about you or your feelings if it puts money in your pocket. You are clearly a gullible 14 year old who doesn't know how to buy a real autograph or take advice. I've collected Albert Pujols since 2002 I can spot fakes from as far as I can see them. On my old computer I had over 500 pictures of Pujols autographs that were authenticated items, because I hate fake autographs and for sure don't want to buy a fake.

Before this, you just kinda seemed like an *******. But now, you seem like an ******* who just dropped a whammy truth nugget on someone.

I have never even heard of "Photo Day"

Maybe I am wrong?

Photo Day is a real thing here in St.Louis, it is sponsored by a local camera store. The players have a very limited time to walk around and allow fans to take photos OF them some occasionally stop and take a picture with a fan or 2. It is basically a parade for fans to get close to their favorite player and get the opportunity to step on the warning track of Busch Stadium.

Very cool

I dont think Milwaukee has that but I could be wrong

They used to but I think now all they really do are the kids autograph days

Lets just end this now shall we. The OPs in person auto vs legit IP autos.

^^^ Tho I am not saying what's legit / what's not legit as I am no expert, but the 2 you posted look nothing like each other. No idea how you'd be able to say the same person signed both. One has "curvy" lines and one has "sharp" lines. Very hard to be an authenticator when such different examples that are supposedly legit exist.

Ryan

Here are 3 legit examples. The First picture signed on his legs is Steiner Authenticated, 2 the 2011 WS ball was signed in Kansas City at the hitting Clinic in 2012, 3 is from 2002 or 2003 its a Schwartz Sports (Pujols first exclusive after his Topps Reserve Autos) Authenticated 16x20. As you notice in every example, the u in Pujols and the A for Albert are very very distinctly shaped. Hes been signing a variation of his auto for 15 years now, when theres that many indicators an item is fake. Call it what its. Drops mic, [MENTION=9874]mizzouboy[/MENTION] apologize admit I am right and tell me and everyone else on here you are a liar.

How about we see some of the Holliday and Molina collection? I'm a huge Holliday collector so let's see what you've got!

There is/was another big Holliday collector on here. May want to do a search and link up to see if you guys can share collections or help either out.

Ryan

Nice collection of Pujols. That Future Watch SP card when it came out was worth 5-8 dollars. In 2003 i sent one of those cards TTM to Albert Pujols and never got it back lol (wish I had it now). Are you in agreement with me that the signatures he posted are off from legit examples?

I don't think that I would buy either of those, but i am not a big secondary market auto collector.
Steiner & UD stuff carries a HUGE premium for a reason.

Based on the autos alone, I wouldn't say yes or no. Based on the fact that he lied about their origin: HUGE red flag.
