<p>I agree but there are a few ways to look at it. There is no way for Ebay to enforce autograph authentication. They have tried in the past. The good thing for buyers is, you still have a certain amount of time to file a claim. You can research while its in hand and file at the very last minute. Ebay will not deny a return if you feel it is not authentic. It hasn't happened often for me but they have always covered return shipping.

<p>They give buyers every chance possible to be completely happy. Its up to the buyer to research. I believe it is fair. Consumers need to be more knowledgeable. Ebay is filled with impulse buyers. Its why buy it now items have become more popular than auctions</p> It's ridiculous that ebay doe…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2022-11-16:3524372:Comment:17958222022-11-16T20:56:12.955Z5816nickhttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/5816nick
<p>It's ridiculous that ebay does absolutely nothing about these fraudsters! </p>
<p>I reported some fraudsters so many times I gave up in the end - just shows how unsafe ebay is ! </p>

<p>Personally I would rather have the signed in store ones. But only because I bought straight from the stores. Like I got a copy from Uncle Bobbies the first known store appearance where he wrote "I" SURRENDER "2U" before his signature. I also grabbed a few copies from Parnassus in Nashville and called the store. I dont like the tipped in ones as the yare so impersonal. with Bono just taking a stack of Book pages and signing.

I have a tipped version aswell and you can see the evidence of the previous pages being signed as he had a stack of paper. Still cool though. If people are not good with U2 signatures than they should steer clear of the in store books unless they have a good hype sticker that references the particular store and the autograph is matching perfectly. another thing I would ask for is a receipt from the store</p> Forget the yellow fly leaf -…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2022-11-15:3524372:Comment:17951332022-11-15T17:31:55.777ZJKhttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/JK
<p>Forget the yellow fly leaf - they all have that. If the next white page is blank except for the signature then it is the US signed edition. The unsigned editions don't have that extra page. The unsigned editions go straight to the title pages.</p>
<p>Personally I'd rather have this edition than the signed-in-store ones. The in-store ones are far easier to forge since they were originally issued as unsigned and have no other features to support the signature.</p>

<p>Extra signed blank page + special UPC on the dustjacket = confidence about authenticity.</p>
<p>And BTW, I don't think the signature in yours looks anything like the forged ones at the top of the thread.</p>

<p>The top sticker would have been added by BAM. My B&N book only has the bottom one.</p>
<p>Also, on the US edition there is no blank page (the one that is signed) preceding the title pages. The signed blank tipped-in page is characteristic of the signed US edition.</p>

<p>No signed sticker on the front - but two stickers on the rear the 2nd smaller sticker which says Surrender Autogra…… with the reference number which corresponds with my order so as long as they have these 2 stickers to the rear they are legit! <br/><br/></p>
