I was looking at AutographWorld's newly listed auction, and came across a George Clooney auto. that I could have sworn I have seen before. I searched the other few dealer sites I look at and found it on New Graphs' Ebay Store.

New Graphs has had this autograph listed in the past. I have seen it mutiple times as the item always went unsold. It provides a 'proof' photo as well.

AutographWorld, arguably the most reputable dealer, has just listed the EXACT same item on their 'Original Auction'.

How can two dealers list the same item? If New GRaphs were to sell this item today, would AW have to remove it from the auction? AW states that it currently does not buy autographs of new stars aside from the Signature Pieces Auction. If the New Graphs collectors supply AW, how can they supply the same, exact auto??

I think the explanation is much more simple - whoever is the author of the picture, the other party simply... let's say borrowed it.

According to Bob Jones of Autograph World. NewGraphs works for Autograph World and the listing was not pulled off ebay by NewGraphs when it was sent to Autograph World.

I regularly buy autographs from Ebay. You have to do your research first to determine if it is authentic. If it's too cheap, beware.

Agreed! You can get a lot of bargains on Ebay if you know exactly what you're looking for
