First, the "autographs."

As you can clearly observe these are awful forgeries all penned by the same hand.

According to Ebay seller Roboco14 "This belongs in a museum."

Here is the auction description:

If this was such an amazing and authentic piece, why aren't they offering a "Return" and why haven't they had a legitimate TPA examine it?

I love it when sellers of garbage like this write "Got it from a reputable local collector."

If this was truly an authentic piece, there would be some provenance supporting it.

A real card-carrying cynic might think that the seller is concerned about the authenticity of the item, or maybe he just has had a lot of other items "tempered" with and returned.

Each signature is obviously slowly and methodically applied. Maybe trace jobs. The FDR looks like it was assembled and various parts touched up and filled in. Zero natural flow or spontaneity.
