Great video thanks for sharing Im just starting up again to collect funko and was looking into buying signed pops online but this made me think more keep it up new subscriber here
The amount of money that can be made is what's the driving force. Fortunately for me I was in a collectible shop in my town and overheard two dealers talking about how a dealer got caught up. Next thing I know it's on 60 minutes as a special! Lesson learned.
Sorry you got scammed. I could talk about this topic for hours. I’ve seen it all. Though this is sort of knew. Sadly there is a way around the tamper proof. I could type an essay lol. Sadly. Great vid. You gave the basics plus a little more to help the collectors.
So many people listing DNA 10 as psa 10 when infact the card would not be a psa 8. And so many people assume the DNA 10 is the same. If you find a card that is not graded just DNA certification don't pay psa 10 prices!!
@@THELUAU I have a PSA/DNA COA that i think is legitimate with a good looking hologram. Could I send you a photo by any chance to see what you think? This is one nasty hobby is all I'm going to say. I've had people shit on PSA hard and me in kind 😅
I started collecting in the 90's. Found BP Sports and my first signing was Ali and Frazier. I made friends and started meeting at hotels getting in person, grand openings, and arenas. It was all fun till a couple of years after 911.
It's too bad people have to do things like this. It would be cool if there was a way to register the numbers like the figpin site just an idea that would help when looking up numbers if each company had a register site. Have a great week
Yes I agree. they do each have a data base but it works off the numbers not if the sticker or cert are real so thats the catch you have to know what a real sticker and cert look like
What a shame that people have the nerve to scam collectors like that, but if you don´t want it i´ll take the Dwight off your hands to complete my the office collection hahahaha.
Yeah alot of the great authenticators have left Psa for beckett and jsa i would say they are the big ones know. anything 2020 and before from psa/dna was pretty good
@@postersandstuff it’s been 2 years since I left this comment but I’ve caught so many fakes from “JSA witnessed” to “PSA witnessed”. It seems Beckett is the most trusted, but I don’t buy anything certified anymore. I just buy items from know collectors.
@@THELUAU and you are so correct, I think Covid caused a TON of resellers to join the party. Nobody wants to go to an office and work. The autograph game has gotten so out of control. It’s sad what was once a great hobby. Now athletes are sick of signing for people cause they think they’re selling their stuff.
just ordered a funko signed on mercari and im worried now lol, beckett authentication matched the item , when it comes if the sticker on it is legit does that prove its the real deal, the mercari seller has 3,000 good reviews
Does the JSA and Beckett both of them have a stickers? And the stickers cannot be remove? Need help because i just bought a pop and it has signed and coa and stickers too beckett. New subsriber here.
I dealt with the SAME SELLER months ago and he said the same BS story. Can you please get ahold of me and we can collaborate together on this and bring him down. I can provide you the seller name and whatnot
Thanks for the info mate.. I've recently bought a pop and the psa sticker and card all look legit however when I look up the number it comes up as a photograph and not a funko/toy box.. have you seen anything like this? Thanks mate
Glad I could help So thats weird.. normally it would be a swap but that sticker is tamper proof so could just be a mistake on psa end. you can send a photo of the item with the sticker and the cert to them and they can verify and change the description.

Glad I could help
Glad you made this video about psa dna about how they can replicate it...
yeah hopefully it helps. you just cant see the name and a cert it has to be correct shame people stoop to this level
Also by the AH cert cards, PSA had the new cards with the holographic foil. Same with the stickers.
yes so true when you see it inperson the card and sticker are so bad. and this seller sold alot
Great video! The amount of fake, not only signatures but pops is sad but common in collecting. Good on you and others to bring light to this.
Thanks

Thanks for the heads up 👍and glad you were able to get your money back
No problem 👍
Good informative video. I just bought a couple things that have the psa/dna sticker on them but now ik what else to look for. Thanks
yeah i mean this one was bad
Cool video! Great info. I knew nothing about the psa/dna and all of that! Well done
Glad it was helpful!
very informative, thanks. It's sad that scammers are always there trying to screw someone. Glad you were able to get your money back.
yeah mercari was great to help and made it very easy

oh yeah the more education you have the better!!
Hello Andrew this was an awesome informative video. Great job. Nice to see something different. God Bless
yeah hope it helps people
It sucks you got scammed, sorry. Thanks for explaining how the autographs authentication works
Always my pleasure
For a newbie like me, this is is good info to know! Thanks man!
Glad to help!
Thank you putting out the info! Different kind of video, but loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!

yeppers other places are strict and psa isn't
Thank you. Helped a lot. Will be on the lookout!
Glad it helped!
Hi LUAU,
Great video. The hologram on the COA can't be replicated can it?
I believe so yes they cant get it all perfect but they have tried replicating psa and jsa but they dont get it perfect
@@THELUAU I have a PSA/DNA COA that i think is legitimate with a good looking hologram. Could I send you a photo by any chance to see what you think?
This is one nasty hobby is all I'm going to say. I've had people shit on PSA hard and me in kind 😅
I’ve been collecting autographs basically my whole life lol and it’s still sad to see people try and doop others like that. Very informative video!
Couldn't agree more! thanks

Crazy! Glad you made this vid though
Glad you enjoyed!
Very informative! I've been looking into authenticating some of my autographs and this helped a lot! 🙃
Glad it was helpful!
If you have shows in your town look up JSA.

haha i still have it but will probably keep it as a learning item for the future
Dope, well if you ever want to get rid of it...
PSA JSA is shady to begin with. My friend sent in fake autographed MMA gloves and they passed. I don’t trust anything from that company anymore
Yeah alot of the great authenticators have left Psa for beckett and jsa i would say they are the big ones know. anything 2020 and before from psa/dna was pretty good
@@THELUAU I was under the impression PSA and JSA were related. I have some memorabilia authenticated by both. I’ll have to check tho

Thanks for the info man! I hate people who sell fakes! Is there a way on mercari to search by seller name? I know you can on ebay. Great vid man!
hmm not sure there is i know you like like a seller and put them as a favorite
Great video, do all items have the sticker on them that matches the code??
not all the time, box writing etc are dead giveaways
just ordered a funko signed on mercari and im worried now lol, beckett authentication matched the item , when it comes if the sticker on it is legit does that prove its the real deal, the mercari seller has 3,000 good reviews
yeah with beckett they to have a cert and have started with the new ones only have a qr sticker.
Very informative

Awesome informative video 👍😎

BTW loving the content, keep it coming.
More to come! thanks so much
Does the JSA and Beckett both of them have a stickers? And the stickers cannot be remove?

much appreciated so yes both have tamper proof stickers with matching carts. you can get carts replaced but the stickers you cant.
@@THELUAU thank you brother! nice to know that. Very happy to youre advice and videos.
That’s why I like shopping Mercari, easy refunds. They don’t get the money till u review
yes it does make it easier
a tip : you can watch movies on Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Samson Uriah Definitely, I have been watching on kaldroStream for months myself :)
@Samson Uriah yea, I've been using kaldrostream for months myself =)
@Samson Uriah Yea, I've been watching on KaldroStream for since december myself :)
Did the seller get banned from eBay??
it was on Mercari and no he just changed his name and kept doing it. but via pictures this will help others
