You gotta be kidding

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:

Comment by Bill Panagopulos on October 5, 2010 at 7:53am: 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...

Comment by Bill Panagopulos on October 5, 2010 at 1:25pm: Doc - He's MUCH rarer than Rosenthal.

Comment by Bill Panagopulos on October 5, 2010 at 1:42pm: 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...

Comment by Rick Badwey on October 5, 2010 at 1:45pm: Bill, for trying to come off as a charity (which he isn't), he sounds bitter! PLus the price is completely laughable!!!

Comment by Dr. Richard Saffro on October 5, 2010 at 4:17pm: 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.

Comment by Bill Panagopulos on October 5, 2010 at 10:01pm: Actually, Rick, he IS a charity! Google the name and see his storefront (looks like Sanford & Son's junkyard).

Comment by Dr. Richard Saffro on April 22, 2011 at 11:49am: 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.
