Absolutely no sympathy for those buyers and the OP of this thread.

Excellent post, Jeff.

If you read the dude's last post, I didn't get the impression that he was looking for sympathy. He said it was a shot in the dark and basically that it was a lesson learned.
Not sure where your vitriol toward the OP is coming from.
I think its annoying that people create forgeries. It is unfortunate that we all can't be autograph experts, indeed.
But the fact is some jackass sat there and wrote out a fake Plank letter, got it authenticated and someone else bought it. The person that bought it got hosed. There's really no other way to consider this, as far as I can tell.
