Hi Kevin,

What's the history on that signed book? The autograph looks questionable to me.

Thanks for the feedback. It was purchased at a charity auction and was accompanied by a photo of Obama signing. I wasn't at the signing so I can't be sure about it. Any other opinions? If the consensus is that it's not right, I'll be sure to remove it for sale.

Hi Kevin,

Charity auctions are some of the most dangerous places to buy autographs unfortunately. We have a couple recent Obama discussions here to post it in, but I'm not where I can look them up. Do a search for Obama and look for discussions with recent posts.

Generally the only auctions I buy from are RRAuction for autographs, Heritage for art, and specialty auction houses for comics and animation, but this charity auction seemed pretty solid - I'll be more wary in the future. In the meantime, I'll pull this item for sale until I can do some more investigating. Thanks!
