...for the timely articles you published on your website re: bogus sports autographs on ebay as will as Brian's article on spotting forgeries.
We had an interesting case, recently, on eBay involving allegedly genuine "vintage" photographs of Gloria Swanson. The seller even displayed verso shots with photographer credits. THEY HAD TO BE THE REAL DEAL. What a steal to get a Clarence Sinclair Bull copyright photograph of Swanson at her most glamorous. Right? WRONG!What came in the mail were crude color copies, on glossy stock, from some low grade copier machine. When challenged, the seller professed innocence that "I don't know all the right terminology or the difference between vintage and otherwise. It was a simple mistake.
" Actually, this innocent seller on eBay pulled the same trick on several other people. It took us forever through eBay and PayPal to get a refund.
Again, sincere thanks for the articles and continued success with your business. You are a credit to the industry, Trish.
