I had so much fun with this guy over the years... Sad he is still out there ripping people off but he is sort of like the joker in a batman movie now, without him there is no super villain to hate (or love).

I still have his fake clock in a box around here somewhere. If Blackwell and I didn't lay it out on his deck beside his real one, it would have been very hard to say it was fake.
He should get a silkscreen setup and start making PM Southgate posters after what they have sold for lately.

Oh yeah random dude writes something on a card himself and then later gets jack to put his signature after it in the same pen. :roll: Gotta love the obscuring of business cards too. Probably made some typos.

Soledad Brothers debut album. I feel like it was a great price. I also feel like there's less chance of it being fake. Still nervous though.

He has just sold a whole bunch of fake lyric pins for £5-£8 and has now listed the 2nd lot of fake lyric pins.
Cleverly listed as "fanclub memorabilia"
1 day auction starting at £4,97 - £7,97 each.
The guy is polluting the market.
What a shame.

I messaged him about the pins. He tried to sell all of them to me privately for $155. I told him I didn't want his fake pins. He said he bought two sets 15 years ago at a gig.

Complete sets were not available at the shows back then.

Reported the listings to Ebay.

No where in the listing does this say they are originals.
You can report it all you want, but not really going to do anything.
I highly doubt they did copyrights on their pins at that time.

Doesn't hurt to try.
Hope that with the help of those keeping an eye out for all of us, and their willingness to use their knowledge of White Stripes memorabilia/collectables, they can prevent other collectors from spending their $$ on fake items.

This is from a seller registered in 1998 and has the same id until today
Could it be a real set?

Can someone post a pic of the back of an original?
