Apparently someone is counterfeiting Roy Nelson's signature on real TOPPS CERTIFIED AUTOGRAPH holo-stickers..

This signature is real. Apparently, Roy ALWAYS hand numbers the stickers he does.

Both of these are fake because they only read 'Big Country' and aren't hand-numbered on the sticker...

Fake Number One

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Big-Country...=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Fake Number Two

Also, according to Nelson in the twitter conversation above, his contract only gave permission to Topps to use in its 2009 products...

Keep your eyes peeled, either Topps is pulling an Upper Deck by counterfeiting its own products or someone stole blank Topps Certified Auto holo-stickers and they may pop up elsewhere. Spread the word...

ummm Chris Olds did respond to his tweets saying its legit.
 
I'm PeteyGeeNB in those conversations and i don't see Olds' tweet saying they're legit...
 
He signed the stickers in 2009, who's to say that Topps doesn't have a surplus?

On top of that, who the **** would fake a Roy Nelson auto?

Click to expand...

He said that he hand-numbered every sticker he signed for Topps in 2009 so any surplus should still be numbered, and the fake ones don't even have his name on them, just his nickname Big Country.
 
I have my 2011 Topps Finest dual auto of he and Dan Hardy. It is signed only "Big Country" and I have no worries that it's not authentic. To me it sounds like Roy is just trying to get more money out of Topps. Roy probably only numbered all of that one batch.
 
Yeah sorry Cheatman...I was so amused by reading all of that yesterday that I didn't check to see that we had a thread already going about it.
