Gotta Have It Rock and Roll: Any experiences with them?
Today I posted a Tom Petty signed album won from Gotta Have Rock and Roll for opinions. it got a few thumbs down. I also posted an Every Brothers signed LP (which I really think is good). I was wondering if anyone on this site has had experience with GottaHaverockandroll.com. Above are the 2 items I posted earlier and here is their site. http://www.gottahaverockandroll.com/

Fantastic work, wascher! As Bernie states, there's plenty of good and bad on the net. Well, we know which camp he sleeps in.

Well, I remember a few weeks back that Bernie noted his disgust with collectors of Taylor Swift items. She must be too hard for him to forge!

Figured he was a bit of a weirdo a while ago. Instead of opining about autographs. I wish he would come clean ,discuss his technics of forging and why he does it. Doubt it will happen though.

Very interesting discussion and I agree forgeries even from once reputable people have destroyed the hobby. Any further thoughts on Gotta Have It or the 2 items I have posted?

I could have sworn that I used to see a bunch of music related signed items on ebay with a specific hologram for authentication and the description always included a last name very similar to Bernie's, possibly his actual last name. Every item I saw was always fake. Coincidence?

The ebay seller you speak of could be jhustle1. Still out there selling with holograms. Im not sure what u say is true though. The stuff he has now looks ok , no? A lot of lower lever type names.

Apparently the "jhustle1" username originally belonged to a guy called Mead Chasky. From reading this forum I understand that he was a legit collector/dealer with a focus on sports. He seems to have retired and sold the store (possibly along with some authentic inventory) to some shady characters.
It is my personal opinion that none of the music items with the "TD" (Team Derek) holograms are authentic. Although the forger is way better than average, most items seem to sell at a fraction of the value of an authentic item.
It was suggested in another thread here (the Fleetwood Mac one I think) that there is a crew producing these forgeries, but that the higher end items are being sold through other channels.

The "Chatzky" (spelled a bit differently here), is definitely Erick McKay, I am 1000% positive of this--and he works alone, selling his garbage quietly through facebook accounts (uses names like Miguel Jackson, or Michael Jacksong), small eBay accounts, small auction houses, and art sites, and he sells the items low in price (trying to stay under the radar is my suspicion) I looked at jhustle1, its not McKay's style at all. Not that anyone is saying they could be one in the same, just offering this info, for information purposes only.

Stuff like this is scary for the innocent buyer that simply wants to be able to purchase an authentic autograph and treasure it. I have a friend that I've only know for about a year, but he says he went to school with a guy who is a very talented artist. My friend says that the artist can pretty much duplicate anything with relative ease. He said that the guy is remarkably talented and duplicating a real autograph with a fountain pen or other instrument is not difficult for him. Mr. McKay, unfortunately, seems pretty talented as well.
