Someone wanna call this a forgery? The sig looks wrong. the handwriting above looks even worse...

Zero feedback, "no certificate of authenticity." As the card reads, good luck. My dog took a crap in the yard the other day that looks more like Buk's signature.

Everything is wrong with the signature. He (or she or it) seems to specialize in bad copies.

Charles Barkley, maybe.

Easy money, I guess.

I've been desperate enough, but unfortunately my parents saddled me with these ethics and I can't bring myself to scribble "Charles Bukowski." By the way, are there known examples of Buk signing an index card? It seems more like something an old ball player would do than something a writer would do.

 

[mjp]

Oh, sure. I'll bet he signed a lot of generic bookplates too.

:confused:

the seller of this "signed" index card agreed to close the auction after an email from me.

I can offer you an authentic signature with dedication from Dr Franz Kafka. Who would you like it made out to?

As long as you sign it "Chuck Bukowsky" and make it out to Frankie Kafka, then I'm in!
