Emmit Smith autograph found at the dump!

morgansforever

My local dump has an area that contains reuseable goods.

Pickin through some boxes I come across this, one of my favorite running backs.

I know the COA is cheesy, but is the signature legit?

Any idea how I can get it authenticated by a respectable service?

I'm amazed what people will throw away.

Thanks,
Scott

That is very cool place to find that haha. Not sure how legit the sig is, but that cards was very high dollar at one time. I doubt it is now, but still a cool card and awesome find.

Scott,

It is 100% authentic. I can spot Emmitt's auto and fakes as well.

That is a great find, Im happy for you.

Matt, will PSA authenticate it?

lawnmowerman

Sure will. Of course send it minus the plaque. You can always frame it in a nice display when you get it back

One way to spot Emmitt auto's is to look at the way he makes his 22. The first 2 almost always has a bigger "loop" in it then the second.

If you look at your auto and the one in my sigline you will see what I mean.

Whoever trashed it must have seen his appearances on NBC last night.
Sorry Matt.

I sense shenanigans.

The guarantor is Dan's Sportscard Shop, but the signature is by some yahoo named Chris.

Run, Forrest, Run!

So you are saying it's junk?

What lead you to that conclusion?

He's joking, no worries. The plaque is kinda out of style. Thats why I would frame it when you get it back from psa

Was this item completely free or did they charge a nominal fee?

The dump by my house charges a $2.00 admission fee but the great thing about is its "all you can eat"

I think some girl got po'ed at her boyfriend (or ex-boyfriend) and a dumping she went with his stuff, literally. Makes you wonder what else may have been there.

Very nice find.

This doesn't compare to your find but I picked this up at our local dump as well.




Heads needed a good cleaning and the built in radio is not currently working but the tape deck plays very nicely.

It looks fake to me but I'll buy it from you for 5 bucks.

Damn !!!!

How the hell does something like that escape anyone ?

Even if you know nothing about sports at all , you'll throw that away ??
I'll never begin to understand that .

TNTonPMS

That's it . . .

They have to have been blind . . .

Completely blind !

That is a sweet pull !!

No matter where ya pullit from , it's a still a sweet Smith auto . . .

Good eye there !

Most autographs people pay money for are fake, so finding one free is always great

TNTonPMS

Most ??

I'm not sure about most . . . .

Thats what I was thinkin. Every time I visit the dump I always take a swing buy the reuseable goods area.

The computer I'm using now came from there, all it needed was a new hard drive. Dell with a P4 2.4 GHZ CPU.

Makes you wonder whats at the Beverly Hills dump?

It wasn't totally free, I had to pay for the old sheetrock I dropped off.

The charge for the dump run was about $9.
