The details of this alleged bet you're referring to that I supposedly agreed to? Since we've never PMed, and bets I made with you could only be forum posts, thus a matter of record, it should be easy for you to copy and paste those bet details from the forum right here to remind me. Once you do that, I can pay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of 10s of thousands of forgers milking gullible ebay buyers for all they've got. The comic book forgeries are a very small percentage of the forgeries being sold on ebay, especially movie cast posters, signed musical instruments, sports memorabilia, and a lot of the forgeries have COAs! From authenticators that are not barred from being listed or those taken off eBay's banned authenticators list, for whatever reason God only knows. There's a scandal ongoing now involving PSA and BGS for grading thousands upon thousands of trimmed cards. Be interesting to see how that plays out and what long term effects that has on that hobby. Believe me, the more you know about autographed material, and I've been an autograph hound for just as long as I have been a comic hobbyist, the more you realize that these Stan Lee and Jack Kirby forgeries are a barely noticeable ripple compared to the rest of the ebay ocean of autograph and collectibles fraud.

comicginger1789 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I've never hunted autographs specifically. The ones I have have happened into my collection. My Gil Kane signed ASM 97 was a fluke ebay buy over a decade ago. My Daredevil issue (can't even remember which one) signed by Miller is in the margins and came in a lot. Was never advertised and I just assume it is real. The issue is high grade so whether it is or isnt does not bother me as it is in the margins. My ASM 239 signed by John Romita Jr. is on the cover and was also only a couple of bucks. And finally, the only signature I have had done in person was by a friend who took my ASM 97 to the Fan Expo in Toronto a couple years ago now to have Stan sign the cover. None of these books will ever be (by me anyways). They are all assumed real by me which is all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
