I wanted to keep my business to myself when I saw his first post but I have two bad experiences regarding this seller. One with a bad autograph and one with a much misrepresented description.Id rather not air the dirty laundry here but if anyone is planning on buying a photo from this gentleman feel free to contact me via email. I do believe many of his pieces are legit with the proper paperwork, but I was told by a knowledgable forum member that I was burned twice.

When this person first joined collectspace.com it was learned that he had two different user names. Robert contacted him then deleted one of his profiles. I contacted REDPLANET about one of his early offerings and I asked him about references. He became upset with me and refused to go through with the deal. Mike |

If I may ask - Where did you acquire the A9 color Schweickart floating on the porch you included in the few photos I bought? |

Scans of checks mean totally nothing proving something is real. With regard to the above 3 dealers who have sold Conrad signed photos...I am very familiar with them as I own photos from all of them and there is NO question in my mind they did not come from any of the above dealers. These are absolute forgeries in my opinion and I stick by my original post. I think the first "red flag" was selling Conrad stepping down the ladder photo for $75.00. The Space Source wanted a Brinks truck for his Conrad on the steps photo and it was signed with a black sharpie. ( and it had a great inscription) As I always said,,"look at the whole picture"!
