No doubt. One Mac that i wish i could share but sold a while back (i think i read that a member has one) was 2002 Sp Authentic Excellance - Autos of Mcgwire, Ichiro, Sosa, Cal, Jr. and Giambi (shakes head) /25. Pulled the redemption and got 3000 for it. Have the red. card still and just a crappy polariod. Dont regret selling it though Giambi killed it and have seen later copies go for 1500 and less. Would love to see a scan if someone got one. Sold mine 8 years ago.Mark McGwire Museum said:When you see something signed in paint pen, you need to be extra careful and scrutinize it even closer. A lot of forgers like using them because they can sign 75% slower without it being evident, which makes it easier for them to get a close copy of what they are forging. The paint pens also hide the overlapping pen strokes, which hides even more clues to the authenticity.
Also, another collector-to-collector warning. Pujols' signature is amazingly easy to forge, especially the older style as most guys write with a right slant naturally. There's a lot of money to be made practicing Pujols signature a couple hours a day, and some of these scumbags do. Provenance is king.
Edit back to your points above thats why i only have 4 auto peices that arent cards w/ authenticated autos. Mostly only into Rc auto cards.
