   When I first looked, the Daniels sig I zoomed too (his is pretty   
   obvious though a few people have done a fairly decent job forging) but   
   this one was obvious as were a couple others I could make out.  Also   
   there are other red flags. I saw that Daniels photo too; people need   
   to learn that any photo of a celeb does not count.  But a photo of   
   them signing the exact item can be studied; plus if you save other   
   things to go with it,you can prove he was there and you were... ignore   
   phtoos like this.  There's not even a poster in the photo!   
      
   and you are right.  Half these posters, as I was looking at them had   
   rare names, names of deceased people etc.  The forgers train of   
   thought: :Everyone wants this for their collection.  The newbie or   
   dealer hunter's thought: "WOW I can get that for my collection and   
   cheap!" that's a dangerous mix...   
      
   It's up to people with a little more common sense and experience to   
   help those newbies and people who can't see past dollar signs.
