Jim Morrison autograph...


I know it's an episode that's two years old, but I just saw it on TV and I HAVE to comment on the fact that it not only was fake... but it was ridiculously fake. I'm not even an authenticator, nor do I claim to be, but I do collect autographs and could tell immediately that something wasn't right with the style of the signature. Then when I saw them compare it to others on the internet, it was blatantly obvious that it was, in fact, a forgery... the copy from the internet was crisp and beautiful, while the poem's signature was shaky and cheap. Anybody else notice this?

Haven't seen the episode yet, what happened? Did they authenticate it and paid a lot of money, or what?

They didn't bring in a real autheticator and just had Jon check it out against pictures on the internet. He claimed it was authentic, even though it quite obviously wasn't, and put it into the auction. Then a trusting customer paid quite the pretty penny to get it.
