adam u might want to post the ebay inquiries in the ebay thread section for inquiries on sellers and their goods.  That way you can post a jpg of the item as with this one we may never know as; This listing (3307193) has been removed, or this item is not available,   So someone didn't think it was authentic.

I am interested in this item on ebay and would like to know your opinions on it Authenticity wise  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-Playmate-of-the-Year-Cyndi-Wood-signed...

I have never been a customer of this "seller", but isn't this garbage downright depressing?  "Johnny" got his Hotmail name right.  For the guy who wanted a Prince, it's about the only one not shown, but if you ask I'm sure he'll "find" you one.  How about a Kurt Cobain, instead?  Great paper, rotten ink, caveat emptor.

If these are all in the presence certs, I would stay away from the items.  I have to say that the Eastwood's look completely different that those that are known to be good.  Even though Clint signs in a rush, he is still pretty consistent.  This guy has so many signatures from different celebrities where all the signatures are basically scribbles.  Way to easy to fake, especially with the COA claim.

I (we?) received a message a message this morning and darn if can find it. I've learned from Steve that the message was sent to this group using the "Send Message to Group" option, instead of using the "Comment Wall" here.  I don't think that was the intention, so here's the question:

"I have a signed Roberto Clemente black & white paper photo that I would like to have authenticated. Who is the foremost expert on Clemente?"

I am going to recommend Richard Simon (Sports) in NYC: http://richardsimonsports.com/auth.html

Richard authenticated a Clemente for me quite a few years ago, and ever since I have found him to be honest, reasonable, and totally on top of his game.

I hope this helps!

Before I purchase this Princess Bride double autograph from a retail dealer does anyone have any opinions on its authenticity?  PrincessBride-combo8x10AS-2.jpg

I had posted a thread in the music forum about this, but wanted to see if I could get some help or feedback on my Miles Davis autograph.  I am wanting to know how to go about getting it authenticated since I got this after one of his concerts, backstage.  Here is the pic:

Kevin,

Anything we can do to help, let us know. From what I can tell, Guaranteed Autographs sells nothing but forgeries. All guys like this know to do is slander and terrorize the reputable people. Hopefully he'll end up in prison with the rest of them someday.
