They have sold an Ali secretarial as being authentic and I just looked and saw this. I'm not a mantle guy but even this looks horrible to me

Not that I am defending this piece of garbage, but 6 cent postcards were in effect from 1971 to early 1974. So the time frame is plausible.

That said, the postcard isn't even postmarked, so it wasn't mailed. That obviously rules out a through the mail autograph. So are we to believe that someone was walking around with a blank postcard in their pocket and just happened to run into Munson who signed as perfect and neat as he ever did... Plus he graced it with an inscription that would be almost impossible to obtain? He not only did this once, but at least twice.

As we can see, Steve, the Ebay suckers are bidding on his garbage.

The Ebay wannabe autograph collectors are always attracted to "autographs" that include inscriptions.

wholey schnikies! What a complete idiot, as are all the E-bay autograph buyers of junk like this. E

Especially all the Greasy A** Unauthentics trash that is infecting the internet like a skin cancer scab picked over 30 times.

It's not enough monetary value for the FBI to get involved, but the scams, fraud and scumbags are multiplying like mosquito's in a shriveled up California pond.

If their is one thing I have learned since joining this sight is I will not buy an autograph unless it is graded by PSA or JSA. Maybe an exception or two if I posted it here and it got good reviews and it passed a quick opinion. I could never imagine the amount of absolute garbage out there until I actuly started looking for it.
