Autograph Magazine Live!

The Authentic Experience

I am suggesting that for those of us who wish to participate, that we post some of the most ridiculous, silly, absurd autographs that we find on eBay. For legal reasons, I am NOT saying that these items mentioned are non-authentic, just totally preposterous. Each of us can draw our own conclusion.
My contribution is not only hilarious, but it also backed by a forensic handwriting examiner, who graded it a '10'. Let me begin the hit parade:

Here is an Abraham Lincoln ALS from The Coach's Corner, with Morales authentication.  How can anyone, even a novice, think for a moment, that this is an authentic Lincoln ALS?  How can  Christopher Morales authenticate this absurd fraud?  There is not a SINGLE characteristic of this letter that resembles an authentic Lincoln ALS.  If there ever was a question of the competency of Morales and Coach's Corner, this Lincoln offering answers that question.

Actually, Rick, he IS a charity! Google the name and see his storefront (looks like Sanford & Son's junkyard).

Now, fresh onto eBay: a handwritten note from Richard Nixon. Not only is Nixon's grammar poor, he apparently thinks his name is Richard Mixon.

Bill, for trying to come off as a charity (which he isn't), he sounds bitter! PLus the price is completely laughable!!!

One of the best descriptions I've EVER read! The last line is the best...ande since the sale ended without a bidder, I, for one, am relieved.

This should win an award...

Doc - He's MUCH rarer than Rosenthal.

Apparently Joe Rosenthal did not photograph the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi , but Mhusuli Usp

Bill, you could have found a cheaper utensils at the Home Depot

Scott, appreciate your comments but whenever someone gets ripped-off, believe me, I'm not laughing. Sooner or later, they figure it out, stop buying, the field loses another collector, and we dealers/auctioneers lose another potential customer. That's why I spend so much time with the Justice Dept. trying to put these bums in jail...and I have a pretty good track record.

BTW You aren't alone. I spent $65,000 on a sword given to CSA Gen. Mahone and a CSA flag. The sword is good for cutting watermelons, the flag for wrapping fish...
