[quote="Blackhawks026"]The #1 rule when buying autographs...... don't buy off ebay[/quote]

I have bought off ebay as a lot of charity auctions happen on there.
I also do a lot of research if I resort to ebay. (After many failed TTM attempts and no one on here sells it.) It then becomes pretty easy to spot a fake. I never buy anything too too cheap or without enough quality pictures. Ebay isn't always bad, if you know what you're looking for. :D

Even exact proof doesn't cut it for me. The seller could have just printed off the same picture and forged the signature on there or even photocopy it and send you the copied version (although I imagine that'd be fairly easy to catch)[/quote]

Yeah that is true. BUT if the sig looks like it is suppose to, it's real. And if someone over @ PSA place determines that it fake you can get your payment back. But like I always say people need to do research just to be safe. Because there are successful eBay dealers on there. But I Could see what u mean with their rep and all. {up}

The #1 rule when buying autographs...... don't buy off ebay

That looks nothing like their autographs and someone lost $830 when they thought they got a deal. :lol:

There is a HUGE MARKET for movie props nowadays and I do believe some one them.

[quote="twilightlover0607"]I don't trust him at all. I would never buy props on Ebay.[/quote]

Yea i know what you mean. There is a seller on there who sells a lot of autographs and all positive reviews. He has videos of himself obtaining the autographs. I saw he had a Matt Damon signed Good will hunting photo, then sold it, a few months later he had the same photo on there with the same video, the autograph was in a different location though. So i assumed he was getting an autograph then making extra $$$ by reproducing it himself a and attaching the video.

This ebay guy that i just posted about. He has a lot of feedback, all positive.
But i have a Kate Winslet autograph i got myself and it looks NOTHING like the one on here.

I also wonder if he has that kind of access to film sets would he not be running his own business instead of paying ebay their insane fees.

I don't trust him at all. I would never buy props on Ebay.

This seller sells autographs from Elvis to Britney to Johnny Depp to JFK.

Here is one:

They cost a LOT and always come with props.

Does anyone know anything about this guy? are his items real?

I read one post i could find after hours of searching on another site that said he sold a plate used in a 5 second scene, then 3 months latter sold the same thing again then again.

Opinions?
