I agree with Chris. In fact the buyer admits that he was hoping "it slipped through the cracks".
This is why there is so much fraud in the autograph industry. The roaches and others will continue to pump this stuff out as long as there are people buying it. There are far too many collectors or dealers trying to make a quick buck or find a steal.
The person or collector that suffers from these fakes are the ones that have no little or no experience and are truly purchasing an autograph for their collection. This is not an excuse for not doing your homework, but I would guess that the majority of collectors don't have (or want to have) the kind of knowledge that our members have.
Just my 2¢.
