Barrett Jackson Auto Show HUGE AMOUNT of FORGERIES!!!!! BEWARE!!!!

I was at the Barrett Jackson today and there were two large walk through displays where they put up framed items on portable wire walls. Every item that I saw was FAKE! Of course, everything had the overdone matting and framing. Most had Global Authentication.

Items such as signed guitars, drum heads, large photo's, jerseys, record albums, huge posters cast signed by all members of Star Wars, etc. Imagine every high end signature all in one place! Jimi Hendrix signed album including his band, McCartney, full Beatles signed items, Jordan, Brando, Koufax, Harrison Ford, Pacino. The list goes on and on. I confronted one guy who was acting as if he was in charge and he walked away from me without saying anything. I made sure to say it loud enough for others to hear me.

If you go to the Barrett Jackson, please don't be fooled into buying anything. Look and laugh, but don't buy!

Yes...he hated the nickname, Bugsy.

But that supposed autograph is spelled S-E-I-G-E-L....not S-i-e-g-e-l.

I'm pretty sure he would have been able to spell his own last name.

Good catch. This is just awful.

Below is supposedly what his signature should look like.

That's the first Al Capone I've seen that looks like it was signed with a Sharpie! Must be worth six-figures!

Looks more like Al Cap than Al Capone.

What is being done here is probably as much as we can do. Unless the show promoter pulls the plug. At least, members here are aware and quite possibly somebody searches the Internet and discovers they have been ripped off there is not much anyone can do. Local law enforcement probably has too little knowledge to take immediate action nor does the wheels of justice turn quickly on this type of situation. It takes much investigative work to break a forgery operation.

I wish you good luck with that. Hopefully, common sense will win in this situation. I applaud your effort!

Do that and you get our hero of the day award.

They had Sharpies when Dillinger was alive? I've got to polish up on my history!

That Jordan is awful. I feel so bad when I see people have this junk in their collections.
Can you share a link to your site? Thanks

As much as I think you're right about the autographs you attribute to the Art of Music, I have to be frank: I didn't think that Millionaire Gallery was any better until recently.

You might want to take another look at your Star Wars stuff...

Where did you source these Harrison Ford autographs from?

And what do you call this garbage?  Authentic?

He called them garbage because they are. The Fords are fake.

At least one Hamill is fake, top 2 Bakers are fake, and the entire Force awakens poster piece is fake.

I have seen the items signed for Disney and Lucasfilm, and those sir are not them.
