"Now I know why so many of these have a faded autograph."
"Steve, this is a great video. I don't know how I missed it when you posted it.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very informative."
"Looking back at Gelan’s history, he has a pattern of putting up graphs that were supposedly obtained in person and asking for reactions. Often they get the the thumbs down.
I suspect he is using this group to market test his fakes. "
"I am not familiar with Deniro’s autograph. The comments were on the selection of the photos. Are you saying these are fakes and he is “testing the water?”"
"If I am not mistaken, Oz may have used a secretary signer. For a second opinion you may want to use SWAU online opinion: https://swau.com/products/autograph-verification"
"I don’t know what happened here, but I suspect after receiving negative opinions, the original poster deleted McCartney and closed the topic. This happens far too often. Maybe the original poster is the seller or owner of the McCartney and…"
"Why was the McCartney edited out and the discussion locked?"
"A larger pic would be helpful, but not looking promising from what I can see."
"It seems like the discussion of the condition of this item has been going on quite a while... I have nothing to add other than to say than it may not be as bad as the photos indicate. The glare of the raking angle and overexposure accentuates the…"
"Condition is a major factor when it comes to easily available signatures. Modern show signatures with condition issues are typically worthless. Why pull a dented can when there are 50 perfect cans next to it on the shelf?
However, when it comes to…"
"I am a professional authenticator who specializes in autographs of astronauts, cosmonauts and aviation. I also collect certain vintage entertainment, presidential, NY Yankees and baseball HOFers. I don't collect or pay attention to most modern…"
"Regrettably not a signature I am familiar with. Hopefully someone else can chime in. "
"Mercari is the first warning sign. This is the cesspool where many eBay fake sellers land after being expelled from bowels of eBay.
A COA is only as valuable as the people behind it. A COA from an unknown entity has no value. The items could be…"
"Haha. Glad you like it Chris. The sad thing is it’s now seven years later and these junky fakes are still plaguing the hobby. It’s the autograph version of COVID. "

Over the years I have heard many stories of how various Facebook Autograph Groups can be a total circus. Crazy members, fighting, bad opinions, stalking... you name it. In light of this, I have avoided them.
