Crooked PSA/DNA dealer and ebay seller cmgraphs from Lynwood, CA sold a PSA/DNA fake autograph 8x10 photo of the late musician Prince Rogers Nelson for $2500 on April 21, 2016 to unsuspected buyer. The cert verification # J44143. When I entered the digits on the PSA/DNA website it said it was an authentic autograph of Sheila E. and was authenticated on 12/12/2009.  3 months have pass, nothing have been updated on the PSA/DNA website. How could this be? This scumbag removed Sheila E. autograph and forged Prince Rogers Nelson on it. Plain and simple. Buyers beware! You know if one of his autographs in his inventory is bad, the others are too! 

As for who work at PSA/DNA that would vouch for the authenticity of the seller other sigs that cmgraphs probably mass-produced at home, PSA/DNA sure got it wrong! What did ebay have to say about this? Ebay said it is not a traditional auctioneer overseeing what is bought and sold; rather, it is a venue or platform with "no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items", as the company's user agreement states. A FBI special agent from the Operation Bullpen that help bust the largest fake autograph scam in the US have something to say about PSA/DNA, JSA, and GA "Part of the problem for consumers is that expert opinions on what's real are just that: opinions.

 This is another weird report. Theres a refrence to this scot myers person. And this unsuspecting buyer is a mystery and is apparently pretty but most of all if you're going to spend that kind of money then as collectors we allways verify it with PSA. The thing that confuses me is that theres 2 attacks here. One on the seller.......who is still selling on ebay. According to what I have been reading if there is any merrit to these claims he would have been kicked a long time ago. The other part is puzzleing. This person submitted pictures of the certificate of authenticity being different from the actual registerd piece but why exactly would you attack the info if you planned to attack the authentication companies at the end of your report. Obviously the buyers happy.

Autograph collector

 Honestly speaking I've been collecting autographs for a very long time now. I have a room and various areas of my home dedicated to my collection. I've been a buyer on ebay and amazon for many years. Back in the 80's and 90's the autograph market was in full swing and the demand was high and that paved the way for a huge flood of fakes. I kid you not out of years of buying 35% of my autograph purchases have been fake on ebay. PSA rejected all of them. 35% may seem low but considering my volume of purchases its epic. In every case I have filed a complaint with ebay and paypal while providing the rejected letter from PSA and I have received my money back every time. Every fake autograph has very specific traits to it and while examining it the fake signatures are rediculously obvious in an epic fashion. I normally go through report websites to see if people have had issues with sellers before I buy. This report stood out to me. I have actually purchased a couple of items from this seller in particular and I have no issues. Part of the reason why I selected to purchase from this seller was because of the feedback and the targeted price. A very high price will usually signify a fake. I would question the authenticity if the above item was being sold for just a few hundred dollars. If its real its telling the collectors that if you want the best with a peace of mind then you should pony up not to mention collectors know that selling a fake for that price will lead to a felony vs the people who sell their autographs for a drop in the bucket because they know it is fake and want to keep the trouble to a minimum. But take my advice: its risky with international sellers. Mainly Mexico, China, Japan, and Europe. I'm in no way shape or form saying that every autograph from these regions are fake but just based on personal experiance of the problems I have run dealt with.

I took the liberty and posted the evidence for all eyes to see that cmgraphs is nothing but a con man who try to swindle a bad Prince Rogers Nelson forgery. Great investigation, Scott! Anybody who know Scott Meyers knows he's someone you can trust. He's been on ebay for 21 years now. He helped the feds during Operation Bullpen and help put away 60 forgers in prison. Won't be long before the PSA/DNA, JSA, GA opinionators finally get SHUTDOWN for good. Good ridden!
