HOF autographs on ebay...real? opinions

[toyman55]

I contacted the seller to let them know these were not real and here is the answer they gave me: "Thank you for the information. We will let the winning bidder take as long as necessary and stand behind our guarantee.
Thank you for your interest,
Lisa"

Oh well.

Sounds like they really appreciated your input , sometimes it difficult to articulate what they are really trying to say....let me translate

Thank you for the information = I wish you had not called , the less I know the better

We will let the winning bidder take as long as nessesary and stand behind our guarantee = We will pray the winning bidder has no communication with the outside World and is very elderly. As long as the hoops are high enough and they are not good jumpers we are good to go

Thank you for your interest= F you... for your unsolicitated involvement

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps its a language barrier , try Chinese

Recieved an e-mail today from someone claiming they were the buyer and that I was mistaken and that JSA issued a COA on the Copley Plaza autographed menu. I'm certain it was a prank ......(I hope it was a prank..lol)

Wow. It's been said already so no need to rehash I guess, but that is one of the worst, most laughably bad fakes I've seen.

I found who the buyer was and here is what he said to me
"Thanks for trying to help me, but this shows how little the public nonprofessional analysts of signatures really know...JSA has seen the menu and said that the autographs are all authentic!!!!

Appreciate your interest, but I'll have to rely on the professional opinions...am quite pleased with my good buy - it was a steal!!!"

Can't say he wasn't warned, I even gave him the link to these posts.

It was a "steal" alright, but he was the one who got robbed. If he took ten seconds to do a simple Google search on ANY one of those signatures he would see for himself how bad those are. Quite sad really that the mentality exists that JSA is beyond reproach. That kind of thinking will allow forgeries to stay in the market for a long, long time.
