Foolish mistake on auction

Unfortunately for me I didn't research enough and didn't even realize you can have fake COA. I only own a couple autographs and all have been gifts.

I wanted to get start buying a couple pieces and figured an auction sale might be the best way to get a couple pieces to hang on the wall.

I "won" the following auctions from auctionzip.com and BC Auctions. May as well ask what your guys opinion is althought now I am fairly certain I got fakes.

If they are fake what should I do with them? Is selling them on ebay with a disclaimer these are likely fake a good route to try and re-coup hopefully 10% of my money?

Do they have any value as fakes?

What would you do with them?

Thanks for the look and advice

At the exception of a full set of Beatles autographs signed by only one of them, a fake is a fake and deserves the bin. Too bad that you ve been ripped off but passing the crap to another collector is just not on ...

"passing it off on ebay with full disclosure that it was fake to get a little money back doesn't seem weird to me at all."

Apart from it being against the law to sell a fake regardless of how its advertised

Also there is no such thing as a fake COA. Anyone can issue one and they are only as good as the company/person who is issueing it

If a forgery had any value at all, what would stop you from sitting down with a stack of photo's and signing them yourself. You should stop and listen to yourself. Take the suggestions, file a chargeback with your credit card company and let them handle it, end of story.

Thanks Carl, I was feeling attacked when I am just trying to do the right thing. I obviously didn't want to be scammed
But learned a lesson. I wouldn't want others to go through with it. Hopefully I can get a refund. There certainly is a lot more to autographs than I ever imagined nowadays.

yes CJ there certainly is....don't collect autographs until you learn the basics or quit. DEMAND your Money back CJ...be a bulldog and don't take NO for an answer.
