Subject: Re: [MOPO] Interesting Bid History
Who would bid on that signed photo without better and larger scans? Also, that GWTW signed program is most suspicious. It is not the premiere program, but rather the lobby program sold during film's first run. Are we to assume all those people showed up at the local cinema on a Saturday night? And as far a round robin signing, I've never known of a piece to avoid disappearing or being damaged somewhere during its travels from signer to signer. Further , as with the Wizard of Oz multi signed page, all sigs seem to be in the same ink. If you look at other items up for sale, they include all the holy grails of autograph collecting. The whole thing reminds me of the incident a few years ago when the FBI busted a huge ring of vendors of fake signed baseballs. When they logged in the unsold items, they found the obligatory Babe Ruths and Mickey Mantles plus a ball "signed" by Mother Theresa.
