Here's a nice case where doing a few more minutes of homework might have marginally helped your already lousy forgery.

Here's a clearly forged drumhead supposedly signed in-person by the band Garbage.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Garbage-Signed-Drumhead-Shirley-Manson-Full...

This is actually hilarious for a number of reasons:

*Here's my favorite one:  Daniel Shulman was not even their touring bassist on the last tour (this was supposedly signed in May 2012).  Eric Avery was.  This guy didn't even bother looking that up before forging this.

*The band actually signs pretty consistently and plentifully, so spotting a fake is relatively easy.  None of these autographs are even close and are decidedly signed by the same hand.  The Manson is particular is based on a mid/late 90's signing style.  Her signature never looks like that anymore and hasn't for years.

*"Don't even ASK how hard and what I had to do to get Butch Vig's signature."  Probably not much.  Butch is extremely accessible to fans, as is the rest of the band.  Actually, since the seller is the one who signed it, I guess the only thing he had to do was pick up a sharpie.

*"But if you offer proof that its "Fake"....I'll fully refund your money...."  I love when bad forgers dare you to prove their item is fake.

 

It would appear that these are this forger's first Ebay listings (he also has a Tori Amos signed guitar and Depeche Mode signed LP).   Hopefully Ebay shuts him down before a naive fan gets burned.

i am so glad I found this site. I would have already spent money on fake items.

That Depeche Mode forged album is REALLY BAD. Not even close to what their signatures look like.

Enough Garbage fans alerted him of what he screwed up, so now he's pulling the listing and changing his story.  Good stuff.  Can't wait to see what the next lie looks like.

I just noticed that a few seconds ago. I wouldn't doubt it if he was already a member of this forum, where he possibly checks to see if his stuff gets brought up in discussion. 

I posted it on the Garbage Message Board as well.  I know a number of diehard fans sent him emails, asking questions and ultimately alerting him of the plethora of mistakes he made.

Seller has just relisted the same item with a completely different lie about how they obtained it.  This description is just as ludicrous and doesn't make the item any less fake.

I wrote this kid an ebay message, he knows.  I sent him his old description.  What an IDIOT.

This is one of his replys back to me. 

my partner wrote the other one. he got it mixed up with the poster i have....which of course i have mega proof on it. get a life

this is his second reply back to me,

so what? its our first time  on ebay ..... he messed up. look at my poster. i was there. now.....screw off and dont bid. who cares.

Those posters were signed by the band and sold on their website.  I have the LA and Chicago ones, and there have been several others sold over the past 6 months (several are still listed for sale on their website right now).  It's authentic, but I doubt he got it in person.

Also, the band sells them for $50.  And, despite was this moron is saying, they are not signed by auto pen.

For reference, here are the old description and the new one.  He obviously tried changing his story after enough angry Garbage fans called him out.

The "Stan Lynch" bit in the new listing is hilarious.

Old description:

 New description:

Rich, and all the people who seem to hate me.....please stay with me, because im about to make this "Rich" guy look like an idiot.

Oh Rich. Where do we start. Where do we start. I love a good fight, but im pretty sure this is going to be pretty easy…………because you are no “Nancy Drew” and your investigatory skills suck to high heaven.

Im sticking to my story………….the first one, and the only one I’ve ever mentioned……and that is that my partner (I’m gay, and at this point, he’s lucky he is f’ing cute or I’d kill him) got me into this mess. He transposed in his mind two stories that I had pertaining to Garbage (The drumhead, and the poster) when I had him list the first item : I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE DRUMHEAD WAS SIGNED! Are you happy? Or do you want to spin around in circles all day…….I think you are a little dizzy enough, so lets not.

IT WAS A GIFT!

When I reposted the item, THAT’S THE STORY that im going to stick with…..because it’s the truth. You are correct, Mrs. Manson did sign like that in the 90’s……..so that’s about around the time……..Now she only signs with a series of “S”’s and lines………..kind of lazy about her signature now if you ask me. No love lost, because she still rocks. I called Ebay, Furious of course (Thank You), and got myself one of them fancy “Coa’s” you been talkin’ ‘bout. Like im some hick from Nebraska. You also have to admit it, that it was quite amazing that I found out who “Stan” was, from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. But I think you would rather spit out your own kidney then admit that it was good on my part.

The fact is Rich, youre just a bully. Youre just a guy sitting around with nothing better to do. You haven’t sold anything in 6 months, and here I come….all dumb to ebay and all that stuff……and you just tore me a new a$$hole, didn’t you?

Oh no. Wait.

If you mean by “Enough Garbage fans”, meaning three…….then you are right. I think you are just trying to puff yourself up on this website so people will pay some attention to you. I received emails from 3 people. One of them was you, so actually, it was just 2. WOW! Talk about an army of angry people. This part is boring me, so im moving on.

BE PATIENT, IM GETTING THERE!!!!!!!!

I guess the poster that I had signed, with pictures of me at the venue, and with “14” (Because I was 14 in line, im sorry, I feel I need to clarify everything with you to the fullest extent)……And the pics of me in my homemade cute Garbage t-shirt………But I was also the one who , with the opening act, was brought on stage to see how a nail could be put into his nose. Still, in the same cute little pink homemade Garbage shirt. They signed the poster right after that. And she was doing her nails.

OH WOW, THERE IS ME ON STAGE WITH THE MAGICIAN. You truly are a jerk off. HE EVEN SAYS MY NAME AT several times after 2:50.....LOREN!!!!! Arent I cute?

Now sit your ass down!

Can I please have a link to the thread you are on? I would love to join!

This in itself, was like a warm hug from Jesus. Because again, you are wrong. You are so far behind, you think you are in first place.

Garbage has NEVER, EVER EVER offered the Boston show as one of the signed posters from their official website. EVER! Look into it……..I’ll wait………no….go ahead….take your time…….Ill be here. I’ll be here all night (Actually, im never coming back to this thread, lol, so it doesn’t matter) You’re wrong, and that’s just it.

So me being SLAMMED by emails……totally False.

Me and the drumhead, I take full accountability for……..but like I said, talking to ebay, and the fine folks at PSA………I could give a crap about what you have to say now.

AND THAT DRUMHEAD IS AMAZING! If you would like to buy it. I’ll give you a discount since you are SUCH a fan!

 

Depeche Mode was signed in person, or do I need to be a better detective then all of you to find that frigging video too?

WHAT A BUNCH OF JERKS! AND YOU KNOW WHAT SHIRLEY MANSON HATES MORE?

IS A BUNCH OF F"ING JERKS.
