I have a player who has a ton of boons, but some of them look a little fishy (think scanned, then Photoshopped, then printed & resigned). In fact, I'm not sure some of these are even official boons. There was at least one called Comic Store Invasion that allowed rolling two d20s, which looked official, but I'd never heard of. Another, which I was less sure of, increased the amount of gold for day job checks a lot (25 became 100 GP) (unfortunately, I forget the name and I lost my notes).
That being said, do we have a resource that lists boons and their text somewhere? Something I can cross reference to ensure there isn't any craziness happening at the table?

For what it is worth, the 'Comic Store Invasion' is a real boon - it was associated with a one-off tie-in event, to celebrate the release of the newest Pathfinder Comic series.
That said, the boon can only be used to roll two d20s *once*, and a player can only ever have one copy of that particular boon (at least, according to the adventure/document that came with the boon).
I don't know about one that increases the amount of gold received at a particular level, but there is one that increases the 'cap' on day job rolls (with a commensurate increase in the DC required, of course).
There isn't a 'master thread' of *all* boons, but if you look in the 'boon trading thread', there is a link, at least, to a list of the Convention boons put together by a helpful member of the gaming community :-)

If you are not sure, wether some of these boons are cheated or not, just take some photos from the corresponding chronicle and mail to a VO.
We can look up wether the chronicles are right or manipulated.
It will take some time and you cannot check live at the table but if he is cheating, we will get him.

Some you should take a closer look at are scenario boons from online play sessions that don't look like they are printed right off the pdf.
There have been a few issues in the past with GMs inventing boons and adding them to chronicles. In that case, a player might own an illegal boon without even knowing. I don't know how many of those illegal boons are out there, though. I have never seen one myself.

Has this changed since 2014? do we now have a comprehensive lists of Chronicle Sheets Boons to assist GMs and also players playing online PbP games who don't have access to their Chronicles at the moment?
I'm thinking it would perhaps be time to share this list for the 1E campaign due to the sheer scope and amount of scenarios/seasons available... I don't think this would result in people 'fishing for boons' as much as it would really help the players and GM keep it together in terms of what various boons can do.
