... if only the autos were legit. Saw it first from my phone and thought it might be a really cool piece. They don't look good to me though. Anyone else think they have a shot in hell at being authentic?

Chances are they are legit if the guy got them IP at the stadium or something.

From what I can see, the Braun and Tulo may be ok they are kind of tough to tell but they look pretty decent, but the Upton I kind of don't like...

The Tulo looks like what I've seen from him in person a lot. Braun usually doesn't sign that nice in person, but also looks pretty good. I don't know enough about Upton to know how that compares

The upton is his rushed signature he signs inside the ball park, he signed a ball like that for me a few years ago

I am not an expert, (especially on IP sigs) but having seen many copies of these guys autographs on cards, there's nothing there that screams "fake" to me. I'd guess legit, though I don't know if I would rely on my own expertise if I was interested.

Now knowing that, I'd say this is a real piece.

Hmm perhaps I'll give it ago. I was mostly judging based on the Upton which I've seen more of, but I know nothing of his IP sig. Thanks for all the opinions.

I don't get it. Why would it not be real? Guys give different sigs in-person than they do for topps. And, all things considered, it wouldnt be that hard to finish that cover.

Here's the picture of my upton ball to compare

He forgot his name and signed with 2 question marks?

thanked !
question concerning stupid looking autos? what the hell is that scribble that clayton kershaw scratches out supposed to mean anyway?

Looks like slightly different pens, and he probably wouldn't have used different pens if he was faking it. Of course that's nearly a trivial reason, but the autos don't look bad themselves.

+1! Add Ellsbury, Bucholz, Zimmerman...that would be an awesome piece once finished!!!!!!
