no, I made a few when I started out decorating my office Mark. Then I went out to learn what I could about the signatures I was buying and it became and obsession LOL. Must have looked at Mickey Mantle a hundred times for a week to learn. Moved on to Dimaggio and Williams and Koufax and loaded up buying those that I knew ONLY. LOL. But in the end, F-bay soured me to the entire process when they started promoting fakes as they continue to do today. So I had to stop and drop kick F-Bay to the curb in the process. I have tried to be an outspoken advocate against forgeries and most always try to make people laugh at the risk of being a dick, cause I care about people getting taken. As you get in your 50's, it's real easy to see just how dumb people are at every level these days. Pretty much Knot Heads everywhere. I'm confident if you asked anyone that realizes they have been swindled if they feel like a dopey moron, their answer would be yes... Yes, I've been that dopey moron if that's what you want to know. I still am a dick too! Take care and Happy Collecting!

This guy has almost 9000 positive feedbacks and he is happy that he paid $500 for a signed postcard from the captain of the Titanic.   How can anyone be this stupid?

Why not just sign the item yourself?   Why spend the extra $499.50? that you don't need to.

If you are going to buy fake autographs, why not sign them yourself?

Good Transaction	Buyer:  0***0 ( 8363)	During past month
	CAPTAIN EDWARD J. SMITH (Titanic) Signed R.M.S. Adriatic Silk Woven Postcard (#132597111625)	US $499.00

JFK doodles about Cuba for $500, who could be this stupid.   I just bought a cheap kayak for $500.  I don't know much about Kayaks, but I spent about 30 minutes researching the kayak to make sure I was getting the right price.   Who spends $500 without doing a little research?   I think the real problem is EBAY feedback.   When customers see a perfect rating they assume the autographs are real.   EBAY removes any feedback that says items "are fake."   If the sellers complains enough, they will get removed by some employee from the Philippines that has no idea about autographs and probably can't even comprehend the concept.  I have left bad feedback for Lock-Em-Up-Bob and his brother and ebay has removed it.   I just add "Lock-Em-Up-Bob" ebay seller to every post i make so it gets picked up by the search engines.
