EBay seller kconlinestore from Sunland, CA sold a forged autograph of Stan Lee on a funko toy authenticated by a third party authentication firm, PSA/DNA. The seller sold the autograph on July 13, 2020 for $299.00 to an unsuspected buyer. Buyer may think the autograph is legit since it is authenticated by an approved third party authenticator. Wrong! They have a history of making mistakes all the time. Let's look at the facts. Back in August 2018 it was confirmed that Stan Lee will no longer participate in public autograph signings.
Gamora #417 funko toy wasn't released to the public until sometime in November 2018. Stan Lee died on November 12, 2018. The autograph on the funko toy doesn't look even close to his real signature. You can take the object to a police forensic lab and the technician will not able to lift up any fingerprints that belong to Stan. Only fingerprints police will find is from the seller/forger.

Did anyone from PSA/DNA actually look at the funko and check the history of the toy that was made the same time Stan Lee died? Could this seller consider a friend of the company and receive blank certificate and sticker to fill in the details on their website?

The mission statement from kconlinestore is honesty is the best policy. Well, it doesn’t appear to be that way here. There’s no denying forensic science is accurate the opposite of an opinion is not.

The difference between a fact and an opinion is that opinions can be verifiable as true or false, while facts cannot.
