Help appreciated for some research

Hi
I am doing a bit of research so any help would be appreciated.
1) Does anyone have any links to or examples of really obvious, laughable fakes. I am thinking of such things as perhaps a cd released after an musicians death that has been "signed" by the musician?
2) Can anyone point me in the direction of any animal "autographs" (for example Schmeichel the dog from Coronation Street)?
3) Would anyone like to tell me about the most embarrasing autograph that they have, the one that is never mentioned and put to the back of the mind because the person involved is such a "Z lister" that you now can't understand why you wanted it in the first place?
If anyone could help I would be most grateful.

1. I don't have a link to this one, but I found a fake seller on e-bay a few months ago, and they had a CD released after the musician died

2. You might be able to get the Blue Peter dogs, or contact Weasel McPuppy on here

3. I don't have one

1) I saw a Carpenters cd collection for sale once that was "signed" by Karen. The cd's were released in '96 and she died in '83!
2) Soap dogs send out cast cards with no signature. I have Chips from Eastenders.
3) I wrote to Paul Daniels & Debbie McGee because I loved Wizzbit when I was a kid. I was proud of their autographs but whenever I showed people they were like, "Why the hell have you got those?" So I've stopped showing people now

1) just on ebay, a lot of really famous stars have OBVIOUS fake autographs for sale. it's ridiculous, i've seen some not even close to the real signature i wouldn't be surprised if it was spelled wrong. but i guess people are that gullible.
2) as someone mentioned before, the soap dogs.
3) hmm...a few of the survivor people. i don't even know who because they're nobodys now
