It doesn't matter really, I don't agree with your theory and there are a few reasons why, but i am not calling your credibility into question or your experience either.

We are all here to expose these arseholes who cheapen our profession our hobbies and our passion to collect real authentic autographs and help and offer our expert or amateur advice for those who are unsure. We need to unite as a community and help and aid our fellow graph collectors who have been wronged or are about to be wronged.

I have several items from this site, and since coming in here, I realised they were all probably fake... mostly Pink Floyd, but some others, including some still sealed in the plastic wrap they send them in, probably with their finger prints all over it.... ANY assistance I can give to stopping these fraudsters I will give, I am in Australia and I have unknowingly passed a few on. I will still assist, and gladly recall and refund all items if we can put a stop to this fraud... they have a never ending supply of Pink Floyd, and I have purchased rubbish  :(

live and learn.

Someone has also asked about this now on UK forum ACAF(Autograph Collectors Against Fakes)

If the Aussie sites Steve asked abour are associated with the names in the ACAF thread then they are all very well known long time forgers from the Midland here in the UK

http://acaf-forum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21

For anyone who doesnt want to register this is the post:

A couple of dealers here have been selling hundreds/thousands of items over the past four/five years supplied by the following persons at some stage or another. The dealers sell on Grays on line - a big auction house in Australia - and have both video/photo and dedication proof that the items they are selling are from the following persons who sell themselves as 'real in person autograph hunters'

They purchase/have purchased from the following;

MJ Wallace and/or Richard Wallace based in a record shop in New st., Dudley called Sound Search - a person called Garrett/Gareth/Ryan/Steve Fitzpatrick (also known as Gaz or Fitzy) based in Rowley Regis (wife/partners name is Danielle, but they may be seperated) and a gentleman called Lawson Slater.

It is not enuff to say they are potential forgers but does anyone have any proff as they are making a squillion selling not only to the dealers but also will continue unless proof is provided to the auction house that they are selling non authentic items - appeals to the auction house have fallen on deaf ears due to lack of proof

Thanks guys and girls

well perhaps we have found some common ground Mick, and hopefully you can be convinced I am not a fraud... One of the Pink Floyd photographs that I received, (supposedly signed by Rick Wright), was still sticky from being recently printed... considering Rick died in September 2008, I find this remarkable.

Let's get this word out there then. Unlike ACAF, this website is open for everyone to read, so there's a good chance those who need the info and look for it will find it.

Is the auction house just as concerned about proof of authenticity?  Why is it that the collectors always have to provide the proof?

You must mean this GAZ or aka Steve Fitzpatrick ----- 

See this is what Commisso states as PROOF "Look how happy Robert Plant is" this is word for word what Commisso said to me in an email -  Also check out the dodgy Plant graph here... and wait there is more PROOF guys .... 

 

and....

What the HELL is that bro ????? who signed that .... he he he YOU DID 

There is also a really poor video but even i am embarrassed to  put it up here

  LACK OF PROOF ????? ( reply to Mick Taylor) :are you kidding me.... let us start by taking a look at the examples posted here against ORIGINAL authentic graphs... then there is this lovely video that says it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9ofBryT9q4

Here are some MORE items being sold in the latest auction from graysonline: link below : but ask yourselves this "have you seen those autographs somewhere before?" perhaps in the FORGERY video ( link above ) so here is undeniable proof of FORGERY - in my opinion, this evidence is enough to at aleast stop the auction... but NO graysonline stand by their man....

FAKE PINK 

See what more PROOF do you need ?? I see that graysonline are STILL selling from this Richard Commisso : http://www.graysonline.com/sale/2301657/memorabilia/def-leppard-sig...

 PS: I am not having a go at you either Mick, just wanted to respond to the lack of proof part.. your posts are really informative and add to this discussion
