Oh dear. $150 for a signed autograph of Brando!!!! and York? Okay, if it was just York on her own, that's a HUGELY inflated price. Add to that, you can get Susannah York for about almost a 1/4 of the said price. 

Add to that, as you say, York is a TERRIBLE forgery. At least the forger made a semi-decent attempt to try and forge Brando's signature, but I've NEVER seen a Brando sharpie autograph - that's not to say they don't exist but I'm more akin to him signing in Biro type pens etc. 

I'd LOVE a Brando for my collection but that's not going to happen unless I part company with everything I own, lol. 

Brando's autograph alone can command in the four figure region - Susannah York, I'd say up to about £50 at the very most, so therefore, if the signatures were legit, I'd be asking for at least £1,100 for this piece, alone, if it were authentic, which obviously, it isn't and obviously the forger's artistry isn't very good, either. 

Thanks for sharing this, Bradford. Bought a wry smile to my face. In total agreeance, AWFUL forgery. Also, to add to that, the COA is very questionable as well. Very limited in its offering. 

I love Superman The Movie!

Someone ought to warn the poor soul before they purchase it - irks me when people dish out forgeries, in this case, apparently knowingly. (I choose my words carefully).

Hopefully this will have a happy ending.
