Well I did some surfing on Ebay just for the heck of it (not really
buying there these days) and often you cannot see the items very good
and can't tell. I got an email from a celeb site the other day asking
me to look at something and I had to ask the seller for a larger scan
(he did not ever send it to me; my guess is he googled me...).
Anyway, occasionally there are some you can't see but don't even have
to ask for a larger scan because you are pretty sure FORGERY right
away. There are tell tale signs. I'd bet this is a fake:

The sigs are all small (every cele writes differently and when you
have this many on an item, there are bound to be one or two or three
that are LARGE or medium in size... not all will be even). In
addition, they are nearly evenly spaced. When is the last time every
celeb actually listened to you, signed in the exact spot exactly 2"
apart from the other... NOT. Next, they are all horizontal. With
this many, it's sure that some write compact, on a slant, crooked, or
even some I have actually sign vertical. Neatness: these are too
neat. Plain and simple there are too many red flags.
So I hope people will take note of things like this. Could it be
legit? Well there's possibility I guess for anything, but likely, no.
