Of those pics that they sent you, I would say only 3 are authentic with any confidence, and one other thats probably authentic. I wouldnt touch the others. Surely these guys are supposed to know what they're doing??

Its bad enough that they're using eBay pics as comparison pieces :roll:

I have put together all the 20 attachments they have sent me, here is the picture:

You can tell some of them are authentic and some are fake. I cannot believe their "researchers" put all these crap in their database.

lol obviously they are not that knowledagble about autographs if they think that these are "perfectly alright", they are awful! These fakes are some of the worst I have seen. I will avoid Futera like the plague lol

"Look perfectly alright"? LOL best laugh I've had in weeks :lol:

I shouldnt laugh, I know, but what else is there to do?

''These cards look perfectly alright''?!

Not to be horribly rude, but are they sick in their heads?! These autographs are laughable, and so ridiculously fake. As a company they're as unprofessional as they come.

hi Guys,
i got interesting answer from FUTERA official, this is their Email reply to me.

Dear XXX

Thank you for your email which was forwarded to our research department.

Whilst we can not guarantee 100% that these cards are genuine without seeing them ourselves, from the photographs that you have sent, these cards look perfectly alright and the autographs have been checked and we do not have any queries over those.

For your peace of mind, our researcher has sent you pictures of these player autographs from third party collector items and you will see their autographs are signed in the same way.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Best regards,

Paul

and then, guess what, they have sent me 20 attached pictures of autographs, their examples are all from Ebay fake (most of them, they all have ebay symbol on the right coner). Just make me laugh....these guys are professional? Emmmmmm...not really.

There are only supplies when there are demands.

[quote="superletterfan"][quote="Andy316"]I'm of the impression eBay is being flooded with fake versions of the cards, hence the (obviously) fake autographs. A few months ago the majority were being sold from the far east, I'm assuming thats still the case?[/quote]

Oh really, people can fake the Futera cards? Well, i think maybe it's same when people can make fake ID cards...

Yes, there are many cards sold in Hong Kong...but this is not a reason to say it is fake, basically anyone who has money can buy the Futera card from UK. I hope you are not saying the cards from far east are all fake, and the ones in UK and US are genuine.[/quote]

I wasnt saying that "far east = fake and uk/us = real", far from it. I just made a point that a few months ago the majority of the dodgy looking autographs were for sale from locations in the far east. Same thing for fake football shirts, its where the majority come from. Again, not saying ALL, just the majority.

I feel tight on anyone who is getting ripped off believing these are authentic because they are not selling cheap. Some have got buy it now price's of £200 on ebay -->> http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=2008+Futera+World+Football

I am not too sure if these one's on ebay are authentic though.
