Interesting. Can you provide some back ground.This doesn't do much to eliminate doubt over the authenticity of their previous signature cards (2009-2013)!
Especially when the guy who use to source out the Autographs for them has 'disappeared' off the face of the earth.
Futera are junk
Then time for me to bring up the FBI Topps fraud fakes of around 100,000 cards thats resulted in jail time and lets not forget the Topps Pele fake jersey cards that's gone viral on Google images etc...
Or
Should everyone get on with conversations about what they prefer to collect.
Well take your evidence to the appropriate Law enforcement, the reason futera hasn't been named in this environment for the 25 years of Futera is that, as far as i have read, there's not been a problem.
In regard to Topps and Panini America and the huge numbers of fake jersey cards (refer the FBI fraud investigation), over many years, in comparison the argument over the questioning of Futera is a joke.
I enjoyed the above video from Futera and think this is a great way for our hobby to go.
It's ok guys, I went to dial 000 and wanted to report a vicious robbery of funds from collectors who blindly collect "autographed" cards without having an effing clue of what that players real signature actually looks like, but as I picked up my phone, I saw Futera were already on Crime Stoppers. So I dropped a turd on my neighbours lawn and drank a strawberry thickshake...that's right ALL at the same time!! My TV is effing massive I can watch it whilst crapping on my neighbours lawn and randomly I took my thickshake outside with me! So if anyone is good at creating cards, I will try (very hard too, as I want to make them look somewhat like the original signature) to forge our way to millions. LOL I like aeroplane jelly..Great value for under $1 I don't like Futera hence why I don't collect them.
Moral of the story..I forget! Oh yeah - don't buy what you don't like but don't slam the folks who throw there hard earned at Futera, they clearly have too much money to care. Poo freely and enjoy a good strawberry shake. It solves everything Goat bless you
Behind the scenes video of sticky tape signing, enjoy, LOL.
Someone from Panini Australia - Asia - Middle East that I had this discussion with, and they are very aware of Futera and their dodgy practices:Incorporated as a Free zone Company with Limited Liability pursuant to the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone Private Companies Regulations 2003 issued under Law No. 1 of 2000 of the Emirates of Dubai (as amended).
Dubai is very protective, no way they will allow anyone to pursue somebody in their territory. I would not pay a lawyer in Dubai, he will not help you, and a foreign lawyer will not have much success.
We mentioned this also to Fifa, Uefa and teams corporate.
You might be missing the point. Most collectors aren't a fan of sticker autos. But I would imagine 99.9% of collectors aren't a fan of fake autos.
And legally, what can you do? Futera being:

As has been said many times before, believe what you want to believe, investigate yourself how a signature looks, and buyer beware.
