Ditto. Horrific.

Doing what I do, I read a lot of feedback and I always read a ton of feedback which reads "My husband will love this," or "My son will enjoy this for their birthday." It's very sad because the buyers that leave feedback like that are the soccer moms, girlfriends and wives who look at price and nothing else. They think that because it's on Ebay and comes with a piece of paper called a "COA" that it must be authentic.

Very sad.

Thanks guys!

I had a feeling that was the case!

It was many years ago - my mother was only trying to get me something nice. I informerd her that the pictures she got me when I was little were fakes. lol She didn't seem as upset as I was!

I have taken all 3 off the wall and tossed them in a box. I replaced the wall space with framed prints of NY Newsday covers from each of the Islanders Stanley cup wins. lol

If only I know who it was who sold them!

Thanks again,

Todd

Time to call Auto Central -they guaranteed the item............ unfortunately they are probably out of business...... but worth the effort to call.
