Thanks Richard. I will definitely invest in one. The ones that I see that are obvious stamps have a kind of smudged look to them, and also have uniform pressure at the bottom and lighter pressure at the top.
The TPA said there are 4 genuine signatures (after just seeing pictures the auction house sent to them instead of actually holding the thing in hand). Yet when I flip through it, there are at least 10. Funny that.
Thanks again.
