The sports memorabilia market has absolutely been crippled by authentication of forged sigs-FBI estimates 90% of sports memorabila is forged.

 

Can you source that statistic? Because research shows that 98.2% of all statistics are just made up on the spot.

 

It's way too easy to forge this stuff. It amazes me how many people are lining up willingly for Voldey's new verification service.

Not FBI, but a guy the FBI might have spoken with says 90%, according to this.

Thanks for sharing but this data is almost 15 years old. Do we have anything that specifically casts doubt upon the new technology being used?

 

The counterfeiters, much like hackers, are typically right on top of the newest technology.
