That's very awesome! The signature didn't look like "Lou Ferrigno" and I hadn't seen his sig before so I wasn't sure.Quote:

The Bazaars will likely be used for Minus Six.
I started a long time ago. Also, pimp for me is Portuguese, so while impossibly hard to acquire, it's cheap.Quote:

Those are hot. Such a good price! I bought some Bazaars during SCG's nonbasic sale (at a much worse price), I'll show off as soon as I get back in town.Quote:

Congrats on that. They look great for "HP" and especially for the price!Quote:

Amazing prices. I always said that if I found Bazaars at a decent price I would pick them up just to be able to play Vintage.Quote:

Sad to hear. Seeing the rise of fakes on the signed faceanus group and fakes on eBay artists not wanting (for justified reasons) to sign for a fee is only going to flood the market with more fakes. Maybe they are all independently wealthy, or monks but calmly sipping coffee and signing a hundred or so cards for $5~ a pop seems like a relaxing quick way to make $500 tax free.Quote:

I am not sure I agree with you 100%...I don't think there are many signature fakes out there. There is not enough money to be made and the signed cards market it to narrow. There is much more money to be made by faking Betas/Alphas or the hot Modern stuff.Quote:

About the artists: I can understand artists like John Avon who charge for signing cards. It's the amount of people asking them to sign that overwhelms them. And most of them have reasonable prices (Avon charges €1/card the last time I checked).
I'd imagine that the people faking hot cards and the people faking signatures are completely different groups. Printing your own cards is high capital expenditure. Faking signatures is buy cards > buy sharpie > sell "signed" cards. For the most part, there's lots of pictures of artists' signatures, so it's pretty easy to compare.Quote:

What I meant was: What signature would you want to fake? The "Evergreens" (Frazier, Poole, Tedin, Rush, Nielsen) sign through mail or attend a lot of conventions and there is not much to gain from adding autographs ($-wise). Really rare sigs like "Andi Rusu", "Dermot Power" or "Sam Wood" would sell well (price-wise) but the market for those sigs is extremely narrow. IMHO no 100 people would want signed cards from those guys at HIGH prices. And I doubt that those people would just buy into it without further checking.Quote:
