Sir "Oklahoma" was/is the holy grail for the real gnr nerds (myself included).
And we don't even know if it has vocals.
But you know what ?

The real pros just forge them and mix them in with some legitimate ones. They book an athlete or celebrity for a signing and have them sign 100 items. Then they use it being publicly known that they booked that celebrity as a license to mix in hundreds of fake signatures with the 100 real ones. People can see that they celebrity signed with them because they have photos of the private signing on their website, but they can't see what the celebrity signed and how many times.
Issues with card companies come from athletes getting their mom, brother, cat, etc to sign. It's not like they get a professional forger. They just tell their brother, you want your allowance, sign these 500 cards. Then for the bigger players, people obviously notice and call out Topps or whatever company. Topps can't admit that they are fake because the back of the cards have a fabrication that the autographs were witnessed by a representative. Which makes you think the autographs were done in some sort of secure way with a secure employee whose job is to make sure the person purported on the card signed. That obviously does not happen since there are verified fake signatures. I know nothing of soccer, but Messi was a big one.
I'm sure it must happen a lot with guys never getting caught because people don't care about or aren't fanatical about the less famous athletes so there aren't people out there studying their autos.
I'm sure Axl must have done the Topps auto cards, because logically if they were going to fake them why did it take so long? Presumably, PSA believes they are legitimate since some have been PSA authenticated. Although, the big problem with autographs is that authentication is partly a myth, there are forgers who have had their stuff authenticated by top companies. Realistically, the only way to know if your auto is legitimate is to see it done.
I'd never line up at an airport and harass Axl, I harass him enough on message boards, but if he ever had to lower himself to sign at a convention or something, he is the one guy I might degrade myself into lining up for an auto of. Contrary to my posts, I don't really collect autos.

As far as autographs go, Dak Prescott used an auto pen on some of his cards and it wasn't noticed until they were put in packs and pulled by fans. I don't think they even went as far as you say they did with the Ozzy thing by changing it up. I think that they just changed the size on each card.
It goes to show you that none of these companies quality check these things. Or, if they do, they don't do it strongly enough. If a bunch of collectors on a forum can look at a few different cards and figure out that Dak used an autopen, why can't Topps notice?
I'll be shocked if these aren't autopenned like a lot of books are.

Even after I clicked the link I thought it was still fake. It didnt register in my mind that it could be real.
Lol it's even called Sumerian Comics. Axl is an Anunnaki alien shape-shifter confirmed.

The fact that Axl can be involved in being a cartoon, but cant release already 2 redone CD songs speaks volumes.
Musically this band is absolutely dead.
Are the Malibu Mafia and Beta in this comic, as Axls love interest?

The only way I’d buy a copy of this comic book is if it was called Axl Eat World and was about a morbidly obese 80’s rock singer who turns into a crime fighting fat body after eating some fast food fries covered in gravy that he squeezed from his lead guitar player’s biceps.

I realise I'm not a real GNR nerd. I never cared much to hear Oklahoma. Axl complaining he's a bigger news item than the Oklahoma City bombing. Blatantly untrue, and what a fucking self-centred puss. The General at least had a bit more mystery around it.
I'm just jaded, and literally don't give a fuck what they have left to release.

I always assumed the Gundam thing was Fernando. I actually find it endearing that Axl is a weeb.
We sometimes make the mistake of dehumanizing the guy online, so it's cool to imagine him with normal people hobbies unrelated to refusing to release new music.

I love getting stuff signed.
It goes back to when I was a kid and met a comic book writer, and he signed the book he wrote. I thought that was so cool. I got hooked. I used to go to all the local comic conventions and have artists and writers sign the books. I thought it was so cool. This guy drew this comic book, and now he SIGNED it for me? Awesome!
A tiny piece of their essence is transferred from them onto the thing they created. And it will be there after they're gone. I love that.
The only way to know if it's real, is to get it in person. Some of the most exciting autographs I got of comic creators were John Byrne, Neil Gaiman, Kevin Smith, Simon Bisley, Art Adams, Garth Ennis, and the granddaddy of them all, Frank Miller.
My white whale is Otomo Katsuhiro. I've seen the guy in person five times but the bastard always gets away without signing anything.
I met Axl, but was told by security to NOT ask for an autograph, so I didn't. Fuck.
I got Matt Sorum to sign my UYI II LP back in '99 when he was with The Cult.
I saw 311 in Japan and caught a drumstick. After the show I waited out back and every one of them signed the stick. That's really cool, but most people don't give a shit about 311.
My most wanted list would be Otomo, Axl, and Tarantino. All very very very hard to get stuff signed by.

My first (and probably last) celebrity autograph: Ozzy.
He was almost catatonic, and it wasn't a great experience for me as a teenager, haha...the idea of payed "meet and greets" hadn't caught on yet, thankfully...I'd have been pissed off if I had coughed up dough for it.
