Check out this auction from Locker Room Memorabilia (who have David Wright as their exclusive client). The auction is for a David Wright signed ball but look at the first part of the description and the pictures from 10 David Wright signatures that were on eBay. All were GAI authenticated and David himself had said that atleast 9 of them were fake.

<< <i>So a company that has an exclusive deal with Wright claims other items signed by him (probably at the ballpark) and authenticated by someone else are not geniune. Wow, no conflict of interest there. Whoop dee damn doo.

How is it not a conflict of interest?? A major authentication company is authenticating fake autographs. We pay tons of money sending to these companies and now a player is coming out saying that 9 out of 10 of them are fake. I know that there have been fakes that have passed through these companies, but when 9 out of 10 of them are fake, then that should be big news to collectors and a caution when sending to them next time.

<< <i>If that was proven to be untrue, wouldnt they be exposing themselves to some big time slander? >>
Why would David Wright lie about that? Just look at the autographs yourself, they do look pretty fake.
Edited to add...can't see if the numbers and the certificates even match. I dont know..its just kind of fishy. I cant imagine those at GAI are that wrong that much of the time.
<< <i>Those are not David Wright's auctions. Just because THEY say that Wright said that? I have a hard time believing that is true.

They meet up with David Wright every once in awhile. They woundn't say that Wright said that if he didn't.
that's definitely not his signature

BigCrumbs! I made over $250 last year!
9 of 10? That is about right.

I have a David Wright baseball. He signed it for me at Spring Training three years ago. On the sweet spot. There's no disputing it in my mind since I handed him the ball right outside of the stadium and he signed it.
PSA wouldn't authenticate it.

This statement may be true to some extent, but buying authenticated unopened product or autos is certainly better than buying "raw" items where the odds of getting junk are many times greater.
