Wanted some input on buying this signed Fernando Alonso picture as a Xmas present

Of course tons of fakes about on ebay so I googled to check if the authenticating company is legit and found this which is off putting:

It's not like it's that expensive anyways so if it's fake and I'm only getting conned of £20 I'm ok with that, but if it's probably only worth say £50 I'd rather find something else. Tried to find similar through legit companies online and there's not much Alonso stuff around.

Any thoughts welcome, cheers.

Can't help with the question Mondy, but good to see you here, & hope you are in fine fettle & still getting the lot.

I'm good thanks tikay. Don't need any input now as I'm just going to buy a Senna one instead, cheers anyways.

Hope everyone has a good Xmas and all the best to all blondes for 2019!

One word of caution......

I knew someone who used to practice forging signatures and sell fake memorabilia online.

He also owned an authentication service’. He would follow up their purchase a couple of weeks later, if looked like it came from a separate company but it was the same guy. ‘For xxx fee we will authenticate the signature and give you a cert of authentication’ so he would get people twice.....

Loads of scams out there, beware.

You can have a signed pic of me if you like, £20 with tache, £50 without.

Price reduction for orders over two dozen

Have a good Xmas, Mond!
