MessageWell, if your insert for INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS is indeed
authentically signed by the Body Snatchers themselves, it certainly has much
greater value than one I saw signed by
Kevin McCarthy!

Oh, c'mon Kevin. There might always be one out there that is the
real deal! I really do want to believe.
If there is anyone who is lamenting not getting the WIZARD OF OZ
1/2-sheet signed by "Dorothy", I have something that I am offering that is even
better. How about my linenbacked 3-sheet from SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE
MARTIANS authentically signed by "Santa"!
Serious inquiries only, please.
With tounge firmly placed in cheek,
Steve

JR,
In 30 years colelcting vintage Hollywood autographs I have NEVER seen her
sign "Dorothy". About 7-8 years ago there was a forger (pretty skilled) on
eBay selling autographed OZ books. He would pick up the old Oz books and trace
the signatures from an authentic Oz book sold by R&R in 2000 for $47,000. But
the forger would go a step further and add "Dorothy". If you were ware of the
Genuine Oz signed book you could compare and see he was using it as a
reference. I even saw an experienced dealer sellign the set of OZ forged
autogroahs on eBay where the forger even traced the same Inscriptions from the
R&R book. So, outof the maybe couple thousand Judy Garland autographs I have
seen or owned I have NEVER seen her use "Dorothy". But, in addition if you are
familar with her handwriting this reproduction Oz poster was NOT even close to
her handwriting.

Am I being dense in thinking that if Judy Garland had autographed the
poster that she would have signed it "Judy" and not "Dorothy"? Duh...
Also the border of this "original poster" was conveniently trimmed to
cut off any identifying markings of the company that reproduced it.
I might accept that it is barely possible there is someone with over
500 feedbacks stupid enough to fall for this and buy it for $589 (from a seller
with 7 feedbacks no less), but I'm not willing to believe there are *two* such
people and that they both saw and both bid on this same auction. It's 99%
certain both top bidders are shills.
Although eBay does not provide enough information in the jokingly-named
"bid history" these days to tell anything about a bidder, the supposed winning
bidder has only bid on 2 posters in the past 30 days -- this and one other. The
guy he outbid (whose maximum was $579) only bid on 1 poster in the past 30 days
-- this one. There are some people who set up "shill bidder" accounts 5 or even
10 years ago on eBay and have been building up the feedback of those shill
bidding accounts so they look "real". And they don't necessarily have an
exclusive connection with a particular seller. There are some sell shill bidder
services clandestinely. They will bid on your items up to the amount you tell
them to, with the agreement that if they happen to win, they don't pay for the
item but you tell eBay they have and you leave each other positive feedback.
