It's been while for me on here but I was compelled to post this information in hope we could all bombard ebay and get these accounts removed asap.

This guy has several accounts. He is using an autopen and going nuts selling stuff. This is scary. Not only that but apparently he's been shut down on a few accounts and ebay keeps letting him create more. WTF. I personally have never heard of a forger using an autopen but you can buy these things cheap now....

Some of his stuff looks terrible because he uses a bad signature to copy but there are some that look pretty good from a PC view. Eddie Vedder he sold for example. If you didn't know that would fool a lot of people.

This guy is exposing him, check this and his other postings.

Signed to you= idiot criminals.

the fords are all slightly different, fake, but not an autopen

Over the course of the past year or two there have been over 100 of these popping up online, there are at least 5 different templates being used, but all the same garbage forgery style.  

It's similar to the machine produced sports related Florida fakes. They appear to have a number of slightly different patterns for first and last name and they mix and match them. Once you get a sample size large enough, you see the repeaters.

oh! that could be... but the images you shared have slight differences.

ebay does not care.  they have the same motive and goal as the scammers.......profit.

Well said Terrier.

Unfortunately this is nothing new. Machine signed fakes has been going on for years and is growing worse. Unauthorized autopens, plotters... you name it... some criminal is trying it. Be aware that not all sellers using machine signed fakes are as obvious as the examples posted here thus far.

I sometimes wonder if the average collector knew just how pervasive and deep the fraud is... would they run from the hobby screaming?

I am not too familiar with auto pens, somewhat familiar with 3D printers so I have some ideas on how they function.

Is it possible to spot "start/stop" points on auto pens, which would not be natural to the signature flow?  If the printer is programmed like a 3D one, it will work it's way on a grid, either left to right, up and down, or vice versa vs continuous flow.  Curious to see if this is a verifiable "screen"

Autopens always have dot at the beginning and ends from where they hit straight down on and lift straight off of the item. They are usually shaky somewhat and they work more like a vinyl diecut sticker plotter then a 3D printer.
