The story seems fakey on many levels (not mentioning the scripted lines). Including offering $13,000 for something where the offerer says he doesn't know whether or not it's real. Don't believe it.
As noted, the guy having had the book authenticated 18 years ago but not realizing a Joe Jackson signature is rare and valuable seems, shall we say, unlikely.
I like how he casually flips back and forth (and carries around town) with his bare hands a Joe Jackson signed book. Maybe they were using a Daniel Steele paperback as a prop in those scenes.
But it's when he swats the fly with the book and cleans the book in the dishwasher, that's when credibility is finally lost.
However, the autograph exert was pretty cute, so everything evens out.
Moral of the story: Only use cute authenticators.
