forgery alert
this was emailed me by a friend who wanted to bid on it: Do NOT bid
on this lot. They are FORGERIES. Every card is bad Click he RARE STAR WARS SIGNED ORIGINAL 1977 COLLECTORS CARDS on eBay, also Vintage 1977-89, Star Wars, Action Figures, Toy http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123 Furthermore, I'd not buy anything from this seller at all; not even NON autographs as there are complaints on two places on the net (one won't refund, one saying that he gave a copy of a CD or something ... not the legit CD but a bootleg). In addition, he emailed my friend and outright LIED to him about where he got the graphs. He said Kenny Baker gave them to him. LIAR. No way would that happen for many reasons. 1) he's a dealer not a collector 2) Kenny doesn't do that especially with Alec Guinness, Harrison Ford sigs 3) they are outright forgeries; obvious to anyone who knows these sigs at all. If he did not lie, it could be Kenny Baker gave him the UNSIGNED cards and he happened to sign them himself (in case he's playing a game of semantics). In that case, the forgery is even more agregious. He is going on my watch list. |

His feedback is interesting, in May and July he had negs for fake autographs, he responded to one saying he cannot verify autographs and they were sold "as-is", unfortunately the item listing isn't available.

Wow; that may be the first time I've ever heard of one with fake
graphs. Usually people don't own up to buying them.

My scanner is only A4 and a lot of the signed Items im getting in person at the moment are 12x16 so I cant scan them, maybe an upgrade is needed. |
