Warning - items with faked jms signature on ebay

[Alpha-1]

jms posted this on newsgroup

Folkses --

Several usenet folks -- foremost among them Jan -- have alerted me to a number
of forgeries on Ebay...comics, posters or photos that have the worst fake
signatures I've ever seen, supposedly from me.

If you're out there buying anything that's allegedly signed by me...compare it
with what's been out there before. And be careful...a number of JMS-fake
signatures look exactly the same, which leads me to conclude that a bunch of
them are being pumped out by the same guy.

Sometimes it's good to have a signature that looks like elvish script written
while drunk...harder to counterfeit.

I would rather get his autograph in person.

Me too, never been interested in buying an autographed item that wasn't done in person.

[WORF]

I agree, part of the appeal of autographs is knowing you met the person and having something to remember the experience.

Buying autographs is cheating.

On the other hand, my Mum did buy me a Star Wars autographed picture with Luke, Han, Chewie and Obi-wan for my 18th Birthday.

When some else gets you an autograph then yeah its different. A friend of mine got the autograph of Stephanie Romanov who played Lyla in Angel which was cool. I'm actually going to a signing she's doing in October in The Dr Who shop, London. Will be nice to see her in person this time. If you fancy going I can find out the details for you?

[WORF]

I don't know if it will conflict with anything, send me the details and I will find out.

I plan to go to the London Expo and the London Film and Comic Con too.

Yeah I learned awhile ago that it's not good to buy something, just better to get it signed in person.
