Secretarial signatures look like secretarial signatures, not like forgeries. This looks like a bad forgery.

No matter what it is the person selling this like I said is more knowlegable about autographs that just your everyday passer by and knows this isn't real. I have had several conversations with him about his extensive autograph collecting. He sends his stuff to psa and jsa to get authenticated. I am almost certain this one was sent in to get authenticated at one time or another. Bottom line is he knows its not the signature of George Herman.

It's not a Clair signature....its a forgery and the seller knows it. I have messaged him and he doesn't seem to care. Scum.

I have emailed and cell phone texted him, and yes he knows it and your right dont seem to care.

Luckily, it's a one-off forgery. There are three tells in this one that I have never even seen two of them together before. Really stupid stuff. The high bidder has a lot of feedback - you would think that all the bidders with low feedback, and no other high-feedback bidders, would be a clue for him.

Before I started this thread, unaware of all the communication the seller has received from you all, I told him that it was bad and that if he had been duped in buying it, I would provide him with enough detail to support getting his money back.

I assumed the best here, and was wrong.

The worst part is he is works for the state of Alaska he told me something like a county commisioner. Is a 600 dollar forgery worth your reputation and job if people found out you were knowingly selling forged sports autographs. Would be different if this was the first. I posted the walter johnson stamped reciept as well a few weeks ago. When I asked him about that he said I was harrasing him. didnt deny it.
