Fake Auto Database

I’m building a database of PSA aunthenticated forgeries here. If you want to help:

  1. post an image of the slab with the cert number and the auto in question clearly visible
  2. Post the reason why you think the signature is a forgery i.e.
  • Confirmed Fake by Artist (include link)
  • Deactivated by Grader
  • Suspicious Signature
  • Post Event Sketch

Any forged signature graded by any authenticator is worthwhile to post.

Bonus points if you can find a forgery cert earlier than these

I’ve scrubbed the PSA/DNA Pokemon autograph authentication is in a bad place thread, let me know if there are other good resources available.

I don’t know if the Arita autos from that thread are fake or just really bad, but I’m not sure if they should be confidently put onto a fake autograph list

Thank you for heads up, removed for the time being

you can pretty much label all those colored in charizards, garys etc except maybe the first one if that meets your criteria

This was recently listed but the auto appears fake. The さ is wonky, the お is missing the trailing dot and the pikachu sketch appears to be a poor copy

Keep them coming!

Are those considered fakes? If so not sure how to distinguish which ones are which

the auto is real technically, but kinda loses the whole spirit for the thing. they are “fake” in the sense that i would pay more for without the color by number than with it :rofl:

imo they should designate with authentic altered

This is a really great idea, thanks for initiating this, @BANKS. In your spreadsheet, do you think there should be a “Comments” column to add clarity for the suspected cards, or would that be too excessive?

Tagging Mr. @swolepoke in case he has spare time on his hands with the ones he previously identified.

I think comments are a good idea, added!

Added to the database!

I see where you are coming from, will sleep on it. Curious where others stand the issue.

If you’ve seen @swolepoke’s insta he’s very good at letting people know about fake autos that have been popping up.

This was the latest fake Tokiya auto

These posts always make me nervous. Especially this one since I bought a couple cheap autos from probstein over a year ago

The real Charizard has been found :+1:t2:
The owner of it reached out to me with it.

Notorious fake auto seller on mercari is wily, trying to act like this is slabbed by PSA and just blurring out the cert. But this is a fake Naoki Saito autograph, and the blurred slab is for a Midori Harada autograph

Might be a copy of this on slab auto from ebay

@swolepoke can possibly confirm, but I think my Ooyama’s signed Ooyama’s Pikachu and Ikue Ōtani signed BREAKthrough Pikachu might both be fake:
