Is this a fake auto?

[SteakNchop]

Well, I bought this item on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

Seems very much to me like I may not be getting what I think. First of all, in the description the seller says it is an authentic autograph of the "Amazing President Tiger Woods." Since when has he been the president? Second, the seller says this a an authentic copy of a genuine photograph signed by Tiger Woods. Does that mean it is a copy of an autographed photo, not really autographed. And last of all, the auto looks a little different than the others. I won it, but I am sure I can get myself out of having to buy it if this happens to be true.

It seems like he/she has an inkjet printer or auto-pen machine that fabricates the autos.

It doesn't look like his auto and The word copy in the description pretty much tells you it's not real

It's a facsimilie.

Got it. Won't be purchasing it then.

You said in your first post you bought it, just because you didn't read or understand the description doesn't give you an excuse not to pay. Check stuff out before you bid.

If you read the description it says, "This is an authentic copy of a Tiger Woods photograph- signed by Tiger Woods." So it should be signed by Tiger Woods. But I hear that it isn't. Clearly, in the context of it, with that wording it means it's real.

I'm pretty sure that when it says
Beautiful copy of a genuine 8X10 photograph


That it means it's a copy. You'll run across lots of sellers on eBay who don't put "copy" or "facsimile" in the title but will then sneak it in like that in the description.

Pretty sure you're getting a photocopy of an actual signed photo - happens all the time on Ebay

in that context it says its a copy of a signed photo - in other words not real. you still bid. i dont care whether you pay or not, just do the research before you bid, not after when you have second thoughts.

Well, you could explain to the seller your confusion with the auction wording, or better yet you could trade even up with some of those corned beef hash backgrounds you have.
