Ebay seller: pen2paper4sale

Just an FYI, this guy seems perhaps better than your average forger but is still dirty. You'll see he uses the same paint pen for a lot of his autographs, which tends to be a dead givaway that he's forging, not collecting. Looks like he's new. It would be nice to shut him down before he dupes too many people.

He's sold a number of fake Bono's the past few months, a few of which have included a ridiculous sketch completely uncharacteristic of him. Also signs each autograph with a full signature, exactly the same each time with exactly the same pen. Nice.

One generally decent ebay seller (who really should know better) is reselling the last one. Would have been nice if he did his homework.

Yep, and, as mentioned, one of them is already for sale again. Sadly, by a guy who generally sells authentic U2 items.

Can you say who the ebay seller was who was selling the bottom one you were talking about?

Might as well - oleblueyzz. Seems like he buys U2 stuff and marks it way up all the time. That's fine, except when he doesn't pay attention and throws this crap into the mix.

Now he switched it to an auction and a $9.99 opening bid. I think he knows it's fake and is trying to get whatever he can out of it. Real classy move.

Yup, textbook "assembly line" forgeries.

Took him about a year, but he finally sold this piece of trash.

And now this one is listed - a virtual carbon copy of one he already listed (see above). That sketch is awful and incompetent.

pen2paper4sale offers nothing but forgeries. This seller has sold quite a number of badly forged Red Hot Chili Peppers pictures for the past few years. I remember seeing the same exact pictures from last Christmas, listed under that seller's auctions. It surprises me that people actually believe these are real?
