Well, we can banter this argument forever but you want to act like you
forget the incident. Frankly, it's hard to forget when you get a cold call from someone you don't know who wants to sell you a package of signed photos. You emailed a list after I tried to brush you off (I thought you had gotten the message on the phone...but you didn't). Then this 'package' you offer has a ton of 'D' list actors in multiples that no dealer with any sense would consider. Then I get a call back from you wanting to know when I'm sending a PayPal payment. I told you I wasn't interested, you got upset and start giving me the sob story. Then that evening you IM me on AOL and say that you couldn't sell to me anyway because I not to be trusted. You are right about one thing though...I NEVER HAVE BOUGHT FROM YOU! I think most people can easily recognize a pattern with you and why you can't seem to maintain a steady clientele. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutcollecting.com/g...ng.autographs/ More information at http://www.talkaboutcollecting.com/faq.html |

well, i guess you can't tell anything from autographs...this is an
EASY spot! they are all basically the same size...they are the same A (and one of them is supposed to be from a man, it's obvious that all of these- the ones you have- were forged by the same person)...all these people have DIFFERENT autographs...this is just a start... all i can really say is this... you don't get autographs, you buy and re sell...so you really don't know...maybe you don't even know you are selling fakes... i have NEVER called you though ( i may have emailed etc...but i never called. but keep telling that story)...but i'm guessing you just want to talk in circles and try to keep me quiet. and that's just the begining of proof... you enjoy what you got...it's not going to last much longer. m |

Since you never quote, I can't tell if you are responding to my
post, Strickler's post or everybody's at once, so I'm responding. If are saying the one I have is forged, again because I can't tell who you are responding to, then you are wrong. The "man" is Anthony Michael Hall. He signed my legit autograph at Trek Expo 2003 in Tulsa OK. The scan at Strickler matched exactly. If this was not in response to my post, again, I could not tell. -- Mike Gummby3 -= Star Collector =- www.star-collector.net Celebrity addresses the way they should be - free.

Hi Mike (Gummby3)....the Anthony Michael Hall was signed for me in Memphis a few years ago. As well, the Bening was signed in-person for my wife as a matter of fact here in Baltimore. The Hathaway...right now, I don't remember where it was signed, frankly. It probably was from the McCracken collection I purchased at the auction last year. |

I just hope this wasn't pointing to me.... I have not even had the
chance to look at your "proof". So to start accusing me of coming to an opinion before I even have a chance to look at anything is obsurd. As usual, your posting of tactless, baseless and rude comments do you great injustice. I have come to the conclusion that nobody can help you! You are just not worthy of anyone talking to.

I suppose your professional forensic opinion has led you to this remarkable conclusion? I suppose you're going to say that in ALL the signatures of these 3 celebrities that none of their A's look like this? If so, I must have forged every signature of Anne Hathaway, Annette Bening and Anthony Michael Hall on the market as well. I also have signed photos of Bud Abbott, Issac Asimov, Alben William Barkley and Aaron Copland that also have similar A's. I suppose I signed those as well....in my previous life? You have once again proven how much of a hack you really are........ |

Later today, I will post another database for comparisons. I am still
working on it. It will have at least 200 signatures on it to start (I did the first three catalogs which were the ones with the least amount of sigs in there and have 6 more which are jammed packed). I urge people to start looking at the ones with two or three exemplars on them. You will notice a lot of stuff. No signatures will ever look identical. Some signatures are done smaller because they put them on white space or something and so are not the "usual" sig Some signatures are fatter (use of pen vs something else) Some signatures are nicknames, initiials etc while some are full. Some signatures change over time from distinctive letters spelled out to turning into squiggles Some signatures from the older days are more carefully done than current signatures and therefore make discerning fakes easier. Squiggles make it much harder. Some signatures have fades, writing over the top where pens/markers/paint didn't work right or skipped and the alteration is drastic and could be considered fake when it's not. Some signatures are rushed while others are not; which makes them look drasitcally different. Some signatures are written in business hand rather than fan hand. Some signatures which are in hands of even the highest auction houses can be suspect. Nobody is exempt from that. Nobody here is an "expert". You have to give leeway but if many many items are questionable, or business practices, that is a "most likely" scenario. Such may be the case when someone is told they have fakes (and it's pretty reasonable assumption when something is multi-signed and not one signature looks good) and keeps trying to sell it.... that is called a bad business practice. You need to look for certain identifying signs when examining signatures. Other clues relate to stop/start line (not always but majority), pooling (hesitation happens with celebs but probably not often so majority of the time huge pooling is sign of a potential problem where forger hesitates), continuity of lines (follow them to see if any are backwards or possibly from say a left handed person when the celeb is right handed), slant/lean, scale (not always as indicated by my post with whitespace etc). You see, there are many factors for good and bad and NONE of them are an exact science. People have brain farts (heistation/pooling), are mad or rushed, are super happy and add flourishes, are bored or looking elsewhere and drop the tails of sigs... deliberately sign odd, use business sig by accident, sign Star Wars stuff by accident (or give in to a relentless fan), you just NEVER KNOW. And you SHOULD be looking at several examples. Not just one that was obtained in person by you. Though a pretty good indicator and ok on SOME sigs (for example, when NOTHING in the sig is close and you've got something else behind you to suspect forgery like a lie, bad feedback, others mentioning problems etc) then ok; but most times you do NOT know. So tread very carefully. You could ruin someone's business. However, if you can determine they are "most likely" bad, by all means, spread the word but attach it as "it's my OPINION" and don't say it as fact. Those are my two cents. I am no expert. I will give an educated guess only and only on stuff I know. I never touch sports or any of that. I believe that even though only and educated guess (which is what I do for myself and I do have a few problem pieces in there which I took chances on), it gives me peace. On those I took chances on or others gave me, they remain in the collection with a caveat. However, I keep them because I just don't know; or are a good reminder. And some are worth taking a chance on. If the price is right and it's a rare thing... if you can afford the lose the money, take the chance and keep it till proven otherwise. If someday someone says you can't sell it at Christies as it's fake, well, you didn't lose money. But don't just buy and sell on Ebay when you don't know! If you aren't sure, DO NOT sell it! It's just wrong to hurt your fellow man like that. Be kind. I am done. Phew.

![]() "Sue H" wrote in message ... I think strictler's sports is on a link on my site... . If there are forgeries, I wouldn't have it there. I don't appreciate people saying I help people sell forgeries...... so don't start a war with me. PS I don't want to hear about him using wire images photos. that's not proof of anything other than he borrowed images (though I would urge under the wire image photos and any other photos he borrowed,, to say what it is or where it came from as that's the right thing to do). Well, it isn't just the right thing to do, it is the legal thing to do. The problem wih Strickler's site is that he continues to post copywritten material without giving credit to where he is copying it from. I don't mind people posting the information that I come up with as long as it is attributed back to my site. It just isn't right when others post it as their own.

Lee...book signing dates are PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE and not copyright worthy. I
wish you'd get off of the soapbox and stop crying the blues. Besides, there are several references other than your site. I would have been more than happy to place a link on my site to your website if you wouldn't have acted high and mighty and INSISTED on the recognition from the beginning. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutcollecting.com/g...ng.autographs/ More information at http://www.talkaboutcollecting.com/faq.html |
