#2- if the guy that got these signed had a Time Machine and was that much about having a chrome silver marker (not even just the plain silver) on one sig why wouldn’t he have all three signed that way-

#3- Joe Sinnott is your biggest problem (imo) …go look at his sigs… they are super consistent… AND for his sig to be so tiny AND Jack Kirby signature to be so tiny to me it looks like the person that faked these wrote similarly small. Weird that they signed that small and not like almost every Joe and Kirby sig out there-

One thing back in 2020 right before covid broke out here I discussed with their head sig verifier (at CBCS headquarters) and he said a guy is getting REALLY good at faking Stan’s sig- there are getting to be really good fakes out there so I’m saying don’t try his but either Joe or Kirby- those to me are more the clear issue on this one.

I hope you post your results once they are back from Beckett on here?

We crossed our fingers when we decided on the brand name of Gelly Roll.” So, in 1989, the very first Gelly Roll pens arrived in the United States: A black pen, a blue pen, and a red pen.

Interestingly, though, it wasn’t until nearly a decade later that Gelly Rolls really hit their stride in the United States. During the intervening years, Sakura kept working on new developing kinds of ink for the Gelly Roll, and in 1997, they hit upon something major: An opaque, reflective ink that they used in pens they marketed as Gelly Roll Metallic. Unlike regular Gelly Rolls, Gelly Roll Metallic pens could write on both white and black paper, which made them a real novelty — and they subsequently took off with school kids in a big, big way.

Thank you. That’s all I needed. I’m glad someone was already on them. I started a return through eBay so I WILL be getting my money back one way or another. I also had submitted it for a BAS quick review so once it comes back negative I will use that as proof. This guys needs to be reported and taken down.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you stick around and post pictures of your books and discuss comics...the vast majority of forum members here are very cool and very helpful and not as obnoxious as whats-his-face. Cheers .

My local comic shop just saved my a$$ big time. I went down there today to see if they had sent the comic to CBCS in the hopes that maybe I could intercept it in time if they didnt and to get my refund from eBay. LUCKILY it was still there, and they hadnt sent it out yet because they were moving inventory the past couple weeks.

So, I got the comic back, sent it back to that SOB on eBay, and I basically got my refund back for the grading and will be getting a full refund from eBay. Lesson learned! Now, hopefully the Bob Kane signature turns out to be legit.

P.S. - Is anyone having issues signing into the CBCS home page? I can only navigate the forums but for some reasons I cannot login and it keeps saying, "Verifying" but won't let me sign in and CBCS said theres nothing happening on their end. Anyone else having this problem? I cant sign in to see my orders.

Thanks everyone!
