Check out my latest full length video at my YouTube channel @AskSteveGrad where I take you inside the inner workings of forger Brett Lemieux and show never seen images of his forgeries. youtu.be/NodlKSq8gQI?si=_g3w…

There is no avenue in Mark Hamill’s life where he isn’t an effeminate whiny little bitch.
Can a genuine autograph still fail authentication? Yes. Photos and provenance can add context, but the signature itself has to stand on its own. What would you ask an authenticator? #Autographs #Collectibles
A celebrity’s signature can change over time—and a messy autograph isn’t automatically fake. Authenticating signatures takes more than watching someone sign. #Autographs #Collectibles
Thanks to @GoldinCo for giving us at Grad Authentication the chance to authenticate the autographs on these amazing relics.

"Can I say one thing? RIP Stacey King who we lost recently. A person I knew when I was in high school here. He supported our team…his kids went to Stevenson. Just to see him not here today…My thoughts & prayers are with him & his family. We miss him"

Here's another one that likely won't reach @eBay authentication, but probably something the consignment business @AmtMemorabilia might want to review.
Multiple 25/84, with this current listing matching the work of an account banned from eBay.

Thought this Willie Mays card currently listed with @GoldinCo was worth highlighting.
Another 1/4 was sold years ago, and this specific copy looks very similar to the fakes linked to some @ebay accounts shutdown earlier this year.

A Michael Jordan autograph can look convincing—and still be secretarial. A personal story isn’t proof; expert review can help reveal what’s really on the page. #Autographs #SportsMemorabilia
I’m glad they took my advice but that’s only thanks to being alerted, need to get this bad shit out of the building forever

I've now encountered fake @PSAcard Letters of Authenticity copying the newer red-header format for the first time. These Ohtani jerseys come from jamesandsportsframes, an account I had already reported for selling fake Ohtani autographs, including items carrying both Fanatics and MLB holograms.
The new-format LOAs are still far from convincing under comparison. AF60471 is dated July 22, 2026 but uses an older-generation sticker; its LOA has two separate photos, an arrangement I've never seen on an original PSA letter. The paper/background pattern and hologram presentation also differ from the genuine references.
AF23968 is another fake new-format LOA from the same seller. A newer design is clearly no reason to stop checking.

84 years ago today, John Basilone became a legend during the brutal night fighting on Guadalcanal. 🪖
🧵The real story behind that machine gun stand is even more extraordinary.

Blowout found another account, linked to this individual.
If @eBay keeps the account active, it would be wise to avoid the fakes sold via clearblueconsignment.

To avoid confusion, this @CheckOutMyCards appears to be linked to a known fraudster and has several fake/backdoored cards currently listed.
