This was shown on another website (link below) about a week ago and I opined then that it was penned by Joe D's sister.

I sent them an email. I think it is pretty sad that they have a clearly forged Joe D autograph for auction.

Its not FORGED , it was clearly an honest mistake. Those are not SAD. What is sad is when people don't have food to eat when they are hungry or a roof over their heads when it rains , THATS SAD . Autographs ?

Any TPA worth his salt knows about Joe D ghost signed signatures.
So my question is did any TPA actually look at this autograph or did Heritage just decide not to bother to have it examined?
My guess would be the latter.

Richard !!!! do you think real people actually LOOK at the autographs ???....FUNNY

In between the noted TPA's asking women to dance I used to think that the TPA's did at least look at the autographs, but maybe not? .

OK. So using the words forged or 'sad' wasn't the best terminology, but that is not the point. The point is that one of the biggest and most respected auctions houses is auctioning a ghost signed autograph. Hopefully, they will pull the postcard from the auction.
