TTM Who is real and who isn't

[LoyalRoya8515]

I was wondering if anyone had gotten TTMs authenticated and knew who actually signed and who uses a ghost signer. I have heard Mike Schmidt and Don Zimmerman usually have their wives sign their fan mail and that the Braves have someone sign for Hank Aaron.

I am sure there are other threats addressing this, but I thought compiling a list would be helpful for everyone.

Terry Bradshaw is fake. Joe Montana probably is too.

Ive heard that Tom Selleck is secretarial and that Shaq has his dad or friend or someone sign his mail.

See, my issue with this whole thread is that NO ONE knows which autos sent through the mail are real and which aren't, regardless of the "experts". I have seen certified autos side by side of the same player that are different from one card to the next, and I have gotten thousands of IP autos, and not every signature is the same when multiple cards are signed. I know fake autos that have passed 3rd party authentication, and real autos that have failed. Everyone "knows" someone who doesn't sign, or thinks someone was out of town when their item was signed, so it must be fake, or has heard that their wife/mother/friend/dog signs their fan mail, if you spend too much time worrying if it is real or not, TTM is probably not for you.

I've been doing ttm on and off since 2008. Now I will admit no one would be willing to put their life on the line to say that a ttm is 100% real or fake. That being said most of us have been doing this for a while and have some type of knowledge on the subject. I say where there's smoke there's fire. For example if a guy is a jerk in person why the hell all of the sudden would he sign fan mail? Also if a guy charges $500 at a show why would he sign ttm for free? Finally if you are hearing a lot of people saying that they got a fake auto from a certain athlete and PSA says it's fake it's a good chance that it probably is. However none of this is going to deter me and as a matter of face I'm getting a bunch of ttm requests ready that I'm about to send to some retired Atlanta Falcons players.
