I have not bought anything from this seller, have looked at all of his past sales and he/she, is selling forged autographs. See for yourself. Just a beware to new collectors in the hobby that read this. I messaged the seller and let he/she know it wasn't acceptable. I encourage several people on here to report the seller to eBay. Protect our hobby and future collectors! |

WOW... Those are really bad and of course most were private auctions. |

Just curious, were all the listings pulled? They seemed to have all ended or ended at future dates. One indicated a May 17, 2015 ending date. |

Ha, messaged me back attacking, saying several of his items have passed authentication and reported my listing of an Alan Shepard book. Please check my listing and if any of you agree with him, I will take it down. My seller id is brianf763. I back all my items! Thanks. This guy is really something. |

A typical trait of a con artist is to attack those who question them, as well as respond aggressively for fear that their rouse is being undone. I've dealt with many like this one before, they're all the same - and they all fall eventually.I'd be more inclined to report him to the police rather than to eBay. It IS fraud. |

Unfortunately the forgeries are not so bad that anyone could tell, despite the obviousness to many here. The problem with fraud is that someone would have to be induced into purchasing believing the signatures were real based on the seller's representations - and good luck tracking down any unwitting buyers. Bottom line, eBay profits, people like that keep raking it in, unknowledgeable buyers throw their money away, and the hobby is harmed. |

Your Shepard book is obviously fine.
