Uncovering the Score Board COA Forgery Scandal in Wrestling Memorabilia: A Warning from Ken Goldin

The Score Board COA forgery scandal exposes counterfeit Certificates of Authenticity from the defunct Score Board, Inc. (1986–1998), which never conducted wrestler signings. Ken Goldin confirmed in February 2024 that no wrestlers signed for them, making such items fake. Examples include forged autographs of Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior sold on eBay. Post-bankruptcy assets allowed replicas with bogus holograms. Red flags: impossible signings, inconsistent signatures, and undamaged ink. Modern authenticators like JSA/PSA reject them—collectors should verify third-party, research sellers, join communities, and report fakes to safeguard the market.
