Worst Abbott and Costello "autographs" on eBay?

Yesterday, we were discussing an Abbott and Costello item on eBay that the consensus seems to be contained forged autographs of the duo.

Here's something even worse. Perhaps the worst I've personally seen in quite awhile. "Pathetic" might be the best word. Sadly, there are some watchers of this.

It's certed by HEROES AND LEGENDS and is $599 OBO:

I think I recall that. There is a great clip of the final sketch on YT as I am sure you know.

Yeah.... I've seen it.

I actually have three of these records. This one signed by Bud and Lou. The other two signed by Lou and him also signing for Bud.

Yes, I remembered more than the one. Does Cooperstown even have one?

Yes, I believe they have the one that was presented on the Steve Allen show.

These records were sold as souvenirs at their final appearances in Las Vegas before their final split. This was on the heels of the presentation at Cooperstown. They would sign them during intermissions and after the shows, apparently.

All three of the ones I have came from the Vegas area.
