Yeah, I have an card signed by Anson Maddocks and that's not his signature. The person just copied the name off the art

The last feedback for this account is Jan 2, 2001. I would stay away from these.

If the Chris Rush and Amy Weber signatures weren't legitimate on the previous Ebay auctions, what would make you think that these new signatures are?
Given the nature of Mark Tedin's and Anson Maddocks' signatures, detecting fakes is quite a bit harder than with the other two artists, but in situations like this, the old saying, "Fool Me Once Shame On You; Fool Me Twice Shame On Me!", really applies.

I agree exactly with what Eddie here is saying. If the person was initially offering fakes, why would anyone consider that seller to be trustworthy in selling other similiar items?
Yet again, another seller that should be placed on the DO NOT bid list.

1stopcollect is at it again.
If you were to get one of these cards they are not like the real beta proofs. The beta proofs have a glossy backing. The ones from these people do not.
I have purchased a couple of these as examples of what beta proofs arn't, and also forwarded one to wizards legal, hopefully they will be able to shut this person down again, as they have done numerous times in the past.

Hi Robert.
I know this seller for years,and I have purchased a lot of Beta A.P.from her,this seller has bought also tons of A.P.from Artists that I know.What's that Story with Glossy backing  None of mine are Glossy,and since,I bought 80% of my Collection straight from Artists,no doubt about their Authenticity,can you develop further,your point about what you consider "Fake"Beta A.P.Thanks.

I also have to ask what you are talking about the "gloss". I recently got a Beta Shivan AP signed by Melissa (bought from Melissa even), and I do not see any kind of gloss on it.
Perhaps you got scammed Robert with some glossy APs?

i got a beta berserk from the artist himself, there isn't any sign of "gloss".
my quesses are that the glossy A.P. you have are fake.

I just checked the sigs too, and they don't match up. I have Disk proof #1 and had mark sign it at PT Seattle.

I've saw by the past on ebay that some A.P cards from Honolulu were doubtfull. Maybe it's not the case of all Honolulu inhabitants selling cards but customers have to be warned.
