That is the stupidest "James Dean" I ever saw. $1 or $1000 it is a very poor and very obvious fake. This should not pass a 1 second glance. I'm pretty sure Dean could spell - what's all the extra letters? Anyone even considering this needs a refresher course immediately.

Did a spider crawl through the ink or did someone with a shaky hand sign it? It is 100% fake!

I've always loved that line! That whole episode is great. Those shows will never grow tired. Not to me :) They remind me of my dad and I at 11:30 pm on WPIX in NY - channel 11.

Yep, 11:30PM, Channel 11.

This is a horrendous attempt at James Dean (I wouldn't even call it an attempt actually). He's one of the names that is heavily forged. Even the major auction houses have histories of not getting him right. An authentic album page would probably fetch close to $3K or higher these days.

This individual has at least 3 "signed" James Dean photos on offer right now. Looks like BONANZA is a forger's haven :

Call me naive and hopelessly trusting, but it still amazes me that people can sell forgeries with a clear conscience. I guess they have no conscience. My personal code of ethics wouldn't allow me to purposely do such a despicable thing to unsuspecting buyers.
