Blaming the victim sucks.

No one is blaming the victim, but when you admit that you weren't sure if it was real going in, you did not get hosed and ripped off! You took a shot and made a mistake.
I don't know how anyone could think that a 25k autograph could be had for $175 on line (no offense to the OP). If the auction house was legitimate they would never let an authentic autograph go for that price or even 10x that price. There is a big difference between trying to get a great deal and a deal that is improbable.
