I cannot believe for one second that the author of this piece of crap looked down at his work and said "another masterpiece". what a joke.

It's horrendous. The problem with the hobby is the how little autograph "collectors" know about "autographs". Even if you know NOTHING about The Mick's sig, this should be very, very suspect because of how slow/shaky it is drawn. Somehow people need to get more educated on autographs, and be warned that the majority of "autographs" are forgeries.

There needs to be a 20/20 or Dateline special on the "Autograph" industry in it's current state.

Ryan, as Christopher has stated many times, much of the blame is on the consumer. While I understand that some of these forgeries are very good, as you said, with something like this, you do not need to be an autograph expert to see that it stinks. remember, a fool and his money are soon parted!
