Beware of traced autograph fakes!

“Frank Borman” photo with a traced signature

I’ve been seeing a lot of these lately — traced autographs.

In this case, the scammer makes a high resolution inkjet copy on photo paper of an authentic signed photo. Then, they trace over the printed autograph with a marker to make it look like an original signed photo. This example also had an inkjet copy of the original COA from a well-known dealer.

Remember, there are people always thinking of dishonest, yet creative, ways to part you with your hard-earned money.
