Update!

Just to be complete, I happen to find the guys profile on SCN and reviewed his posts. I just found a thread on SCN where he sold a Koufax signed 3x5, but the picture is gone. I don't know if it's the same one or not.
He had a bunch of Different things for sale. A couple of them I thought were a little off, but most of his stuff seemed pretty good.

FYI

Default Koufax book autographed?
Hey guys, I found this all interesting because I have a book by Koufax signed by him on Ebay. I dont know anything about autographs and hoped you can shed some light on this for me. I bought it on a hunch at an estate sale for 3 dollars. The dustjacket is terrible looking with tears on it. I was told by a friend of mine that the signature looked good to him and with the letter K being not attached was his way of signing much later in his days. Here is my book:

Any thoughts are much appreciated!

Rick, below is a statement taken from your Ebay item description and it reads:

Compare the autograph with the reproduction of the man's signature on the back of the dust jacket. It's the real McCoy, for sure!

I can't count the number of forgeries I've observed where the forger tried to emulate the reproduction signature on the item they are forging. You cannot judge an autograph in that manner.

And above you wrote "I don't know anything about autographs." If you admit you don't know autographs, then how can you write in your item description "It's the real McCoy for sure!"

In any case, the signature on the book is definately NOT the real McCoy...

Rick, I assume you will be canceling your Koufax auction.

It's very possible this is a a TTM autograph and was simply signed by someone else. But then you hear he bought it on eBay.....if PSA/DNA quick opinion said this was authentic, I'll chop my arm off.

I had seen his post the other day and a few of the autographs posted looked suspicious to me including the Koufax. I don't think he is dishonest. Just got some bad stuff. The Koufax book signature looks pretty bad.
Also Lrdstan- you have a great 34 Goudey collection. Any dupes tro trade or sell?
