Real or Fake? John Wooden

[kingsfaninri]

My friend Jason recently purchased a basketball signed by Coach Wooden and he asked me if I thought it was legit. I really don't think so, but I wanted to get a consensus... What say ye?

Not saying its a fake by anymeans but looking at two autos of wooden i have the loops in the J's connect in the middle on both of mine and bottom loop goes straight into the O's. And the end of the W slants outward instead of inward on both of mine also. And also the U on mine has a upstroke then down not just a down stroke. hopefully this helps a little

I am not sure, but I had a card signed by him and in that and most examples I have ever seen, he put U.C.L.A. with the periods after the letters!

God Bless,

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. Like I said, I think it's fake (I also have one in my own collection that I used for comparison) but I was looking for a general consensus.

I don't like it, went to their website briefly and besides guys that TTM I'm seeing a lot of stuff that looks fake

 

[KCLJ520]

which is strange, since Wooden lived to be nearly 100 and was known as one of the best ttm signers of all time!

Wooden also equals $$ though.

Thanks for the input guys. He is going to try to return it.
