No just glad I checked! I was aware of the Bruce Lee webpage..
But would be good to have one less fake out there...

I find it scary how it can be reproduced like this on another bit of paper and it look so convincing..
Would you be able to tell this is not an original seeing it up close in person?

Ok so an update on things and I asked if in the auction they have any other things from the same collector...

They said also have an Elvis

Hmmmm

The darker one is the one at auction... And the lighter one is one I found off Google... Unfortunately I can't look at the original in person but the creases on the lighter 'older' one looks a bit like they have come out as lines (perhaps printed) on the photograph.

Thoughts?

My point about it is that the one from the auction... Just like Bruce Lee is a 'tracing job' If the auction wasn't so far away I'd look at the paper Elvis is printed on as I believe it's a more recent tracing of an old signed photo. As you can see how both images are exact but different in brightness.

Really think this could be a can of worms about finding someone pushing fake stuff.

I mean you have to be good to provide a Bruce Lee AND an Elvis for sale!

OMG this is indeed scary.

We had a memeber from Russia on this forum that traced convincing good Elvis autographs. He got LOA issued from Rich Consola on most of them. Some of them are up resell on eBay.
