Thanks. I appreciate that.  I spent just under $600 for it (I know...the great price should have been the first danger flag, but it WAS an auction...not a set price).  So, it may not justify all the costs that will go into that as I know getting PSA/JSA to look at it will be several hundred (due to all the signatures).  This was just an expensive lesson to me and now I'm much more cautious about modern entertainment signatures. Even these LOAs and holograms mean nothing these days as there are elaborate schemers forging these.

Jason,

Can you post a link to the eBay seller, or send it to me privately? You don't have to friend me to message me since I'm a mod.

Jason,

You're in California, so you're covered under our signed memorabilia statues; AB 1570 and AB 228. Because you bought yours in 2017, before they revised it, there is a good chance you are entitled to 10-times damages plus legal fees and costs.

AB 1570 came to pass due to major work by Mark Hamill. The law was revised a year later, basically to carve out signed books and historical autographs.

The seller is in NY but you're in CA. The law covers everything sold from CA or delivered toCA, so your seller should fall under the statute. 

You paid about $600 for yours, so you may by statute be entitled to $6,000 from the parents and daughter who dumped him; plus all lawyers fees, etc.
