I bought some autographs in the Facebook group that Blackwell couldn't authenticate, or say they were fake. I contacted the artists who's prints had the signatures and they said they never made the items.

Why didn't you contact before the buy then...

Just a slew of mistakes on my part. I should have asked more questions. At the time I didn't know I could contact Ben Blackwell and ask him. I asked some experienced collectors I'm friends with but only after purchase. I sent money as friends so no PayPal protection. I thought I was purchasing signed posters, I got them and they were like 8x10. I asked the guy why they were that size, and he said they were artists proofs sent to Thirdman marketing team. I contacted Emek and Chris Everheart and they said that never happens. The guy's name is Adam Deville. At least that's the profile he uses.

...Have a whole draw full of the COAs now at home. They are all numbered with their own identification number and registered with the company she works for...
I haven't had as good a laugh as when he sent this photo with the message above in a long time.
Priceless.

I guess I'm too quick to give people the benefit of the doubt. Never again though. At least send funds not as friends and family so I have paypal protection

This is why I just dont buy anything signed, but making smaller copies from posters with a fake autographs is definitely the new low.

Ok so I just searched in the group for him, man 250$ ?! If I was you I would at least blast him in the facebook group.
He makes it seem its on of those 7 inches then signed on that on event way back. The picture he used is a square too, not 8 x 10.
He deceived you and diffidently deserves to be blasted in the group. Not sure it matters though cause it seems he only ever sold things in the group and nothing else.
Man I feel bad for the other people who actually posted happy pictures thanking him, they probably have no idea.
COA's are toiletpaper.

Edit: rereading I read you expected a poster? Then it might not be fake, cause there was this event where people got the 7 inch single and then where hurled into a room where they stood eye to eye with the band and they would sign their 7 inch.
But still with the COA it just feels dodgy.

No.
He tried selling a whole slew of signed singles.
Then he sent me that as proof that the one I was buying, not the on mentioned in the document, was legitimate.
Were they legitimate?
I don't know.
Who knows.
Who gives a fuck.

So dodgy as fuck.
I'll wait till once upon a time I can get something signed in person.
