Default Fakes on ebay
Neil spotted this ebay item

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=3378465946

It has to be one of the worst fakes that I've ever seen and I'm pretty sure Christine wasn't at the NEC. Surely the band would have mentioned her if she was? But regardless of that the signatures look so fake to me. The seller sold this one recently too:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=3370373699

Seems Christine didn't want to sign this one

I did email him about selling fakes (I know I'm sad) and his reply was:

I take your comment as slander, I had several items signed at the same time you fool, I don't make a living out of selling autographs so don't need to create my own. Get your facts correct before you pester people

Hmmm... I did try to reply saying that questionning the authenticity of autographs is hardly slander and that selling fakes was exploiting the fan community but it seems he has my email addy blocked.

Well who ever brought that SYW cover is sadly £45 worse off! Don't you just hate people like this that are out to make a fast buck from innocent buyers? His reply definately says it all, and the fact he's bloked your e-mail addy too! He knows he's guilty as charged!

Love Sarah

Well it has 4 bid now... it's at £26 so far. And of course he has selected to keep the bidders private... what a surprise!

Thumbs up Some people...
seem to think that if they sell "supposed" autographs that fans will buy 'em up, I seen it all too well when Dale Earnhardt passed away.

I'm glad I never went out of the way to obtain autographs from these frauds...

Thumbs down I don't get it
Why would anyone wanna pay for an autograph anyways?! You weren't there when they supposedly signed it. Even if a signature is NOT fake, I wouldn't pay for one.

Anytime you get a sig from a celeb, you should get a picture of them signing it as proof and if they are good sports, have them hold the signed photo up as you take their pic!

I couldn't agree more.

That's what was exactly done for my Ken Schrader autograph (NASCAR driver and all-around nice guy).

My friend Kelli took his picture as he signed the autograph for me and it shows Ken holding the autograph afterwards (He even signed it "To Brian in Oklahoma! Ken Schrader")

Assuming those are real, our bass player could've made a great docter.

So umm Pip, he may have blocked your e-mail - but if you posted his he might get flooded from all of our e-mails! Is there some EBAY police or place to post on EBAY about him. Those are so obviously fake-anyone who ever looked at Stevie's signature once would know that wasn't real!

I've seen quite a few Lindsey Buckingham autographs recently (hehe )

and the main thing about Lindsey is most of them differ quite a lot... From an "LB" scribble (very quick), through a "L Buck" style sketch (end of show signature) and to a full "Lindsey Buckingham" (backstage moniker ) depending on the time he has to sign the autograph.

The one thing they all have in common is the little trait he has in his writing.. The "L" always has the same swirls and dips and this autograph doesn't come close.. So I would cast some doubt on it for sure....

p.s. I agree with Christy and ChiliD, a signature is only of value if you obtain it in person.

Those autographs appear to be all in the same handwriting.
