I just talked to somebody (from the other thread) that has a piece signed by various Presidents. Both Steve Cyrkin and I feel it's a horrible fake. The purchaser has already tried getting their money back, and hasn't heard anything from the company. We're going to be on this. If anybody knows anybody, that bought anything from an auction or anything...let's get crackin' on this.

Google Anthony Nurse and he has a step by step on how to tell forgeries and fakes, the old saying takes one to know one.

Take a look at these photos. These are all items Anthony Nurse has photos of on one of his websites (which means, they're probably real). Just curious as to what people think of these -- Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band, Rolling Stones guitar, Paul McCartney photo, and a "rock legends guitar" which went for $100,000 to charity.

I think they were all signed by the same person.

The guitars are horrid forgeries, and the Bruce is terrible as well. As far as i know Autographstore.com sells zero authentic autographs. At least i have  never seen an authentic autograph offered from them.

Anthony Nurse used to run a company called By the Bay Marketing from memory but shut down as the heat was on. He then set up www.autographstore.com and runs this with Michael Tobin.

No item they sell is real, they simply forge signature after signature but then to try to claim to be authentic they give a date when it was signed. Usually the date will tally to a film premiere etc and to the amateur appears genuine.

A friend of mine tried to get money back. They purchased several Whitney Houston items prior to her death and then went to sell them after she died. Several went through, however, JSA rejected two he sold to someone. When he went back to Autograph Store they refused a refund stating the usual junk about not trusting 3rd party authenticators

Only after contacting his credit card company and a few weeks back and forth of sending the JSA authentication details etc did he get his money back 

Here's the latest. I heard from a wonderful man that spent his hard earned money at a charity auction. He figured -- it's a charity, what can go wrong? He spent a few thousand on this. Look at how horribly bad these forgeries are: 

Here are a few other items sold from Anthony Nurse that customers sent me, stating that they are fakes:

I like how an "in person collector" got a signature on it in Hollywood, and the rest in New York. Ya know, I don't think people realize that...just writing the date and location of the celebrity cuts it anymore. We can all find out when they were on Letterman, or when the tabloids said they were at a certain restaurant. If this guy has items these stars signed for charity (as he claims on his website...that he has a "relationship" with the celebs....the celebs would have no problems holding up the items, and Anthony Nurse would be standing right next to them. Instead, the pictures of Nurse are all from places like Borders Book Store, when ANYBODY could go stand next to them and have a photo, and the bookstores almost ALWAYS say "one item per person" and "they are only signing the book." So...how is it somebody contacted me and said he had a second Clapton signed guitar at an auction? Clapton hasn't signed guitars in years (because of a charity problem). Yet Nurse seems to have an unlimited supply of them.
