"well it looks like all the votes are in David. While I personally put little faith in other opinions the ones here are most telling and it's great to see that those that matter on ANaL agree with the expertise here but then in typical…"

"Look at just the capitol B's on the BB King and the sig on the upper right side of emblem. They look almost identical. Then look at the capitol B's on the two signatures at the bottom left and bottom right of emblem. Those…"

"Thanks, I am going to forward your information to them, and vice versa. I have the email address of the gentleman who sold it to me, and also the email of the Assistant General Manager. I just sent the salesman a text stating I had an…"

"David, I just got off a long call and saw your emails, but I'll answer you here. Unfortunately, this is one of those ridiculous forgeries, of the kind that seem to produced by or for Gallery of Dreams in Southern California. Gallery of Dreams…"

"I just received pictures of the drum head and the certificate, but I'm not able to upload them here for some reason. I sent them to Steve, but I would welcome any other opinions as well, and can email them to others, and perhaps someone…"

"there is also a premature presumption of this being a forged item. It's a hard lesson but when you make a sizeable purchase, always have a picture of the item and a picture of the cert while doing one's homework first. Many…"

"Hmmmm. Not advising it but out of principle if that were to happen I would let that card go and suck up the hit on my credit report. Just me though."

"@Rick, not necessarily accurate. Ran into a case where the item was evaluated in person (i.e. inspected), paid for and then removed by the buyer. Item was disputed subsquently. Seller claimed that the item was examined in person…"

"Thus @steve or zipper one would have to prove that the seller knew it was a fraud! Now, do you think that would happen in this case since it's certified. @Steve; one should take with a grain of salt all statements made around here legal…"

"Call shop and get a picture sent. Not hard to do on a 5K item. Everything else is a mute point. If they were charging me that much I'd have it already. Then I'd get quick opinion on it. Once its determined it is a forgery then you can call…"

"David, Don't depend on this site for legal advice; just practical advice when we have it. You were smart to ask the credit card company and a lawyer what to do. Listen to them. If you have emailed or called the shop and they have not responded…"

Mr Zipper commented on David S.'s blog post Potential Fake Signed Grammy Drum Head Autographed

"I don't think this is correct. "As-is" does not cover items that are not as described, i.e., fake. I would not even get into the issue of fake or not. Just call them and tell them **politely** you want to cancel the transaction. No…"

I just joined this site as a result of finding articles here regarding a company, or companies? which apparently deals heavily in fraudulent collectibles, Art Of Music/Gallery Of Dreams.

On Christmas Eve, I purchased something in Las Vegas, and it is remarkably similar to something which was asked about on this website earlier this year. The item is a "autographed" drum head, with the Grammy logo on it. Signed by many major artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Garth Brooks, Paul…
