Now on ebay...

Your thoughts guys?

[mjp]

No.

Reminds me of this.

 

[DavidK]

At least he made an effort and put it in a fancy frame. ;-)

The sellers says no returns or exchanges. That doesn't inspire confidence.

The printing looks too controlled, but the doodle and sig could fool me.

I'd say fake.

 

[NellyGCM]

The text looks questionable at best, and reminiscent of recent Ebay one-page 'signed' items 'offered in the manner of Bukowski himself'.

 

[DavidK]

6 bids with 7 days to go. The fact that it's a private listing doesn't really help raise confidence.

Here's an interesting comparison between the one on ebay now, and a genuine handwriting with the same content (maybe the inspiration for the copy cat).

 

[d gray]

wow, looks like you found the source.

 

[Rekrab]

Both have two dots ".." after "DRINK" and the more normal three dots "..." after "ANYTHING". The second and third lines are the same wording and positioning. The source indeed.

 

[Bukfan]

Right, it must be the source. Well done, David!

And here (again) somebody didn't care for the right writing of "K". This time in both "Drink" AND "Buk".
