Something needs to be done about Autographs America

Hello everyone,

I really have tried to keep quiet about companies and authenticity, but i just dont see how this business stays afloat. Literally every item i see from them is a forgery. I just tried a google search and i dont see their website anymore, so hopefully its been shut down. But their is still a huge problem if its gone, which i know we are all aware of, and that is the endless amount of forgeries out their being resold.

For instance, the ebay seller koolkatjazzrecords has numerous items from them up on ebay that are horrible forgeries. i mean ugly disgusting forgeries. I have reported all these items to ebay and they have done nothing about it. Not only that, this same seller sold several other items from them a week or so ago. I reported all those to ebay as well, and they did nothing and let the sale go through.

So is autographs america on ebays banned list? If not, why the heck arent they? Every item is a total fake.

Im sure this ebay seller is trying to unload these knowing full well what they are. Hopefully by posting these images here and gets some feedback, ebay will cancel the sale and refund the buyers money. They are ending in less than a day and have bidders. If nothing else, at least their will be a track record for these forgeries in case the buyers come across this site. Please help me in getting ebay to remove these. They just dont listen to me. I really cant believe that ebay hasnt banned their COAs. Here are some pics of some atrocious forgeries.

They are now operating as AutographsNetwork.com.

I guess eBay hasn't received enough complaints related to this company yet from buyers. I've read that it's tough to get on eBay's list of banned COAs. Based on what I've seen, that seems to be the case.

the connection was also identified on this aml blog  http://live.autographmagazine.com/profiles/blog/show?id=3524372%3AB...

unfortunately, until CIT gets restructured it is going to get alot worse before it gets better.  At least there had been some movement on the banned list albeit like going uphill backwards on a cold day in molasses.

The JLH was signed early in his career, he got a little better with practice and help from Mike Kappus

Are you trying to say that the forgery sold by autographs america of JLH was authentic???  I certainly hope not, b/c that is a horrid forgery of Hooker

No way, I was saying that due that fact, more people tend to forge

Thank you William, i appreciate that. I study the blues guys alot, but still have much more to learn. I really need to go back and add a bunch of names to that blues thread. I meant too, i just havent had much time for a while. But i will get around to it. But i appreciate the kind words. The members here though, including yourself of course, are the best in the world at autographs, so i constantly am learning from the best.
