Bought autographs that turned out to be fake

A few years back when I was just getting into autographs, I bought thousands of dollars worth from a dealer who also gave me a certificate of authenticity. A person at a major auction looked at them and said that they were fake. Now I can’t get my money back. Any suggestions?

I almost feel as bad for him as much as I do the unfortunate buyers.

That’s the home of the only “fully-signed” Beatles bootleg, Manson Family “signed” While Album and Jim Morrison “signed” “The Doors of Perception.” At least he has a good imagination.

At first, maybe I thought he’d been taken himself with some of his stuff, but the more you look at the site it seems more deliberate than that, especially how crazy rare some of the items are. The entire site is 40% off for Spring Cleaning, which is suspect as well. I don’t think rare autographs depreciate much in general. If anything, the opposite, especially after people pass away. Coupled with the fact that he attacked the certification process and said the same stuff to original poster about refunds, this guy is not the “Awwww shucks, I know it’s genuine because (insert cute story here),” he knows exactly what he is doing. The Johnny Kelly Hooker of autographs. Attached is the item I bought but returned unopened and others he sent defending that he believes they are real. Thoughts? Also, what happened to original poster, any solutions for you?
