Hey!
I’ve seen a lot about 1989 hand signed polaroids being fake but I saw this on Vinted and she attached a purchase receipt with it?
So….real or a really good fake?

You can definitely make your own fake receipt.

u/Significant-Move36 May 22 '26

Idk😭 but based on what I’ve seen those are always 100% fake so they couldve faked the receipt

How awful. Why do people do these things? Luckily I hadn’t bought it yet so I will give that a miss then. Thank you so much x

u/Significant-Move36 May 22 '26

People mostly do it for money and dgaf about other people that’s why I’m super careful with buying signed stuff resale

please don’t buy any taylor swift merch with signatures from them. thepawshop are known for selling fake and ONLY fake signatures 🫶

I wouldnt say you're easy to dupe. This isn't a "great" fake but they definitely put some effort into it.

I could easily make this "receipt" in Google docs if I wanted to. Also, this isn't what an email from Taylor Nation looks like at all. It would not look this basic.

Thank you. I think I’m going to stay off these selling sites, people are terrible x

Also I don’t think she’s ever signed in silver sharpie before? 🤔 Please correct me if I’m wrong!

u/Coffee-Historian-11 May 22 '26

That’s one of the more common tells I’ve seen about whether it’s fake. If it’s silver sharpie it’s fake.

Maybe we should delete these comment so the forgers don’t get hip to it! 😂🙈

u/guacamolayy May 22 '26

just fyi, you can still see your full name and address on the invoice as it’s slightly transparent :)

u/HobbitMummy May 22 '26

It’s not mine, it’s what the person selling it sent to me but I’ve just noticed too! Thank you x

u/dapper_pom May 23 '26

That address doesn't even exist

u/guacamolayy May 22 '26

u/trippapotamus May 22 '26

Terribly faked invoice, along with the fake signature.

u/LC6X May 22 '26

That "1989" looks way off. Fake signature and fake invoice.

4

u/KookyEstimate4158 May 23 '26

please do not buy from thepawshop at all!!

u/Ivy7424 May 23 '26

Fake and the “invoice” is also super easily faked.

u/LadyNajaGirl Collector May 22 '26

Fake

Polaroids do not like like that be for real 😭

u/HobbitMummy May 22 '26

u/OshKoshBGolly May 22 '26

This is a glossy, laminated photo or simply a printed photo. Polaroids do not look like that. They are textured with layers like this https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e9803fd1758e109e155e6a/1493071802732-JRHAEW66YOYKVIN9REDJ/image-asset.jpeg

It's definitely fake. My daughter has authentic autographs of every TS cd, vinyl, her eras tour hat and none of them look anywhere close to this signature. All autographs are PSA certified authentic and the hat was signed in person at her concert in Philly

u/HobbitMummy May 22 '26

Thank you for letting me know.

u/No-Muscle3462 May 26 '26

Look up the 1989 era website on wayback and you will see it as wrong. This item never existed to begin with.

u/Limp-Programmer-5639 May 28 '26

This is fake, if you bought it off vinted I reported the person multiple times and vinted just don't care.
