Oh. I've never had any experience with that particular address. I just know that other via venue addresses tend to work a bit better. Now that I know this information, however, I completely agree with you guys.

I wish something could be done. It's just an idea, but if there was some improvement on the Autograph Expert group, I think something could work. If Autograph Experts were chosen on their true expertise in the subject, they could be the ones to ultimately decide who is posting frauds. Then admin could take action from there. It seems to me that admin won't take action unless there is incontrovertible truth (and that totally makes sense). Maybe I'm just ranting, but I don't know...

This is getting way too ridiculous...something needs to be done about these people!
I hate to say it, but this site is going downhill fast and if something isn't done it's just going to turn into one of those "other" autograph collecting website that is completely uncreditable. :(

I agree with you Andy :(. It's ridiculous to let members post obvious fake successes (especially with overwhelming proof). Unfortunately nothing is ever done about it :shock:.

Its not fair on other members though, who will see his "successes", and then try the address themselves only to be disappointed. The fact we're not allowed to outright accuse him on the board just makes it worse, as no one will see the truth.

yeah that kelsey grammer photo looks a bit fishy. however, i wouldn't rule it out completely. the only reason i say this is because it was sent to a via venue address, so there's a chance that it's real.

Hes doing it again guys.

http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=76130

He claims he got an authentic Kelsey Grammer. Kelsey only sends PPs, and if you look closely at the "autograph" you can clearly see wobbles and breaks where the faker has been copying the autograph from another source.

I may not be able to "prove" 100% here, but this guy has a history of faking, and applying common sense here is surely proof enough to ban this guy (again)?

Do you mean that he used a random envelope he had in the house and then forged the autograph? That seems pretty careless :( Well spotted :D

Nice spotting Andy, I think this user should be banned.

I agree. I noticed that also. It's kind of weird. I don't think that that is possible of "just happening".
