Hey, my first post here...
Ok, I've received 2 signed shirts from a friend who's well into football (agency etc.), and considering that he IS a good friend and all, I am not doubting him, it's just that I've been fooled before, so this time I just want to make sure that it's the real deal. Especially since I am planning to give them to some family members of mine. I even got a Certificate of Authenticity with both shirts, but I STILL want to be sure that these signatures are real or not.
Below you will find links to my SIGNED shirts. My question is simple: Are these signatures AND shirts authentic/real?(note: picture files are VERY large):
First up is a signed Arsenal 2010/11 EPL shirt:
