Are people really this easily fooled?

How cool would that be though if a real signed cj cobb was out there? Has anyone ever seen one?

It appears that the buyer cancelled order. Here is their feedback left for seller.

"Cancelled order because couldn’t trust that merchandise was authentic "

That’s a lot more polite than I would be .

To answer the original question - yes, people are easily fooled. Not everyone is as knowledgeable as the people on this board.

It's well known that these easiest people to con are con artists themselves. They are convinced they have stumbled onto something that will allow them a leg up to pull a fast one on someone else. Seems counter-intuitive but it's true.

Great book and are really fun read.

Good thing that a Sharpie was used so the signature appears bold and legible.

We all have items we wished we bid on ... but strangely one of the ones I always regret not buying was an "autographed" New York Post article that announced Mickey Mantle's death. I still crack up when I think about it. For $10 it would have been a funny piece to have to show to people (but for $20 - which it sold for - I was out).

Cheers,
Patrick

It's amazing how many auto debates can be wrapped up simply by applying the year the sharpie was invented.
