basically, just because someone asks for and receives a refund for an autograph that the buyer suspects is fake, that doesn't logically follow that it necessarily IS fake.
right?

The autographs were fake. I showed the exemplars from which they were copied.
Hmmm... Let's see... The FDC was issued a year after Dwight Frye died. Frye mis-identified his most famous character. Identical examples exist--ripe for the copying on a single catalog page, and the lack of a character name for Frye easily explains the inappropriate "Igor." Meuller, who supposedly believes the FDC is genuine, destroys it to produce two less valuable cuts. And, finally, when confronted--twice--with the evidence of forgery, issues refunds.
Why in the world would anyone think--even for an instant--the FDC was genuine?
