Signed memorabilia question

[RoversClitheroe]

Hi All,

Looking to buy a signed Rovers shirt, and wanted to check to see if signatures are legit or fake.

Does anyone have the knowledge on signatures etc?

Thanks

Without a Certificate Of Authenticity from the club you are buying in good faith only. 
 

A former work colleague of mine once collected a “signed match ball” from a Premier League club & he watched it be signed…by the folks in the office who each had mastered copying a player or two’s autographs!!!

His faith in human nature was destroyed…🤷‍♂️

Hw still got a “ signed match ball “. It just wasn’t signed by the players.  “ Buyer Beware “.

My youngest son got a signed Rovers ball a few years ago. It came with a piece of paper that deciphered all the squiggles.

Sorry can't help on the signatures Clitheroe, but @MaxPhythian collects and maybe able to help.

@MaxPhythian - I'm still looking for a signed shirt from the Kendall era, I know you have one 🤣

Would personally stay well clear of modern signed Shirts,a company a few years ago were selling them with knock off signatures.

Unless I've handed a pen over and taken a picture then I'd be suspicious

There will still be thousands of these fakes in circulation no doubt...was eventually jailed for six years.
