You might have the eye but there is no evidence still to suggest Andy/Tony is Forger that’s why you and the admin are stuck. So the only thing you can do is put him down without proof. Most Bowie signed are from with his coa so you are saying you have helped him sell fakes? As you were apart of his team, helping him and constantly asking him on here for his help. I even saw your expertise is Bowie 76 and onwards. Nearly every Bowie signed items are authenticated by Andy.

You failed to recognize the "proof". That Bowie I posted, sold by "Andy" and refunded by Ford, is a FAKE.
" Most Bowie signed are from with his coa so you are saying you have sold fakes?" - NO, I am saying I had his papers added to my own Bowie's but I found them myself raw in the wild - not from him or his site. Not every Bowie with "Peters" COA is fake, but I would not buy ANYTHING that he sold from his site with his papers knowing what I know now. Odd that Ford never signed a COA. Why might that be? What is the upside to having a COA signed by a nonexistent person? And for who?

Kieran,
Eric is right about Andy Peters and DavidBowieAutograph.com. Andy Peters is actually Tony Ford, and he is a forger. While there are some genuine David Bowie autographs with an Andy Peters COA, an Andy Peters COA is a major warning sign that the autograph is a forgery. The vast majority of real Bowies with Peters COAs are likely ones where people asked him to authenticate theirs.

Also, I did search his name on here and it was only a year or two ago you was asking Andy for help on authenticating Bowie signed items on here. Although on some stuff you you disagreed but you seemed to had trusted his opinion. How can you be for certain this is a Ford Bowie? I know the price is abit low but the signature is faded and does come with coa from a website that are and others say is very reputable. Beckett and Epperson said it’s good on a opinion but I will send it for a coa and am positive it will be good.

I trust myself and my knowledge, gathered over many years. I hate to break it to you but COA's DO NOT make anything real.
You think those numerals "1998" on the litho I posted were written by David Bowie? Oh my.

I can’t remember your lithograph,but I thinks it’s funny how everyone used to ask for Andy’s knowledge including you and now you guys are saying all this stuff without actual photo evidence of him refunding 50,000 and his multiple forgery’s.

You don't think he asked for mine many, many times? Styles were removed from his website after I confirmed "Andy's" suspicions.

"I can’t remember your lithograph" - but I just posted it for you? 1998 forged signature/numerals. You have also seen it before.

What are the odds of me buying a "Bowie" from "Peters" and being refunded by Ford AND this whole thing coming up at the same time and not be connected? That is beyond my imagination. That ought to serve as the "proof" you are looking for. How else is this explained? Add in the sob story you were fed and the ridiculously low price and you are not left with much I am sorry to say.

Well if it’s fake it’s fake but I trust Andy I’m sorry to say I can only go by his reputation and how long he’s been doing this for. Also Epperson and Beckett are pretty reliable why would they say it’s good when it isn’t. Quick opinion or not they have still looked and made a judgement.

I and everyone here have seen those entities make extreme errors.

Trust must be earned. "Quick opinion or not they have looked and made a judgment" - call it what you want, none will stand by it so they say and for good reason. It is a fast opinion. That is why you pay extra for the full LOA. Your statement says a lot.
