It's kind of like getting off a New York City bus, seeing a shady looking guy with a briefcase with Rolex watches and saying "Ooooo bargain!" and taking three for $100 and then finding out later that their no good and actually Bolex watches.
A few months ago, a guy on eBay offered a Babe Ruth signed ball. It was removed by eBay because of it had authenticity issues. The seller (honest) threw it back up on eBay stating that a third party authenticator had failed it and it still sold for $400.
Why anyone would want to pay money for something that wasn't genuine is beyond me, but I guess they do and people who openly want to purchase bogus signatures are keeping the forgers and fraud peddlers in business.
