Comment by Steve Cyrkin, Admin on July 26, 2012 at 9:33am: I agree with Steve and Richard, Ashli. I didn't think that anything I looked at was genuine, and the prices are way too low, too.

It appears that almost all the autographs are done (forged) by a single person. In the New Arrivals section, they don't even bother to show pictures with autographs.

Comment by Steve on July 26, 2012 at 12:07am: Adam West and Clint Eastwood signatures are no good on the Treasurae Coast autographs site. I would stay away.

Comment by Steve Cyrkin, Admin on July 25, 2012 at 10:16pm: Post a link, Ashli. We'll take a look.

Comment by ashli on July 25, 2012 at 9:57pm: has any one heard of treasure coast autographs? it seems to good to be true so i was uncertain of purchasing.. please help!

We answered an ad in a local newspaper in Birmingham, AL offering $2,500-$3,500 autographed guitars for $500 each. The address that they gave which was 515 N Flagler Dr. West Palm Beach, FL. didn't have anyone in their building by the name of The Signature Gallery. The authenticating company called Legendary Productions turned out to be completely fake as well. The person that we spoke with called himself Tom. The cell number that he can be reached at is 561-577-5626. He said that he was selling his deceased brothers collection. We stuck him with the COD charges for delivery of two guitars. DO NOT BE A VICTIM TO THIS SCAM!!! I hope this helps you.

Comment by David Wright on June 26, 2012 at 4:11pm: Thanks for pointing this one out. It is one of the worst Star Wars fakes I've ever seen. I have sent the details to Dave Prowse and Kenny Baker and, hopefully, they will act quickly to have this removed. Best wishes, David.

Comment by Steve Zarelli on June 26, 2012 at 2:11pm: Good Lord. What a pathetic, childlike imitation. Even without knowing the signatures well, you can tell this is a fake.
