Just try and buy 300 copies and it will tell you the number left (110)

[Priest]

exactly,
as far as i remember all other runs where 250 - so they would have sold out the original size soon (109) left,
curious what happens to the new added 100

[Priest]

Folks,
quick question - what do you think Sig 1-3 authentic or not ?


Why i doubt ?

1) They look very sloppy, compared to all i have seen
2) #2 has 3 dips, i never saw that before
3) Seller sais, that #2 and #3 where signed at an event '11 - both differ to much for the same event to me
4) and i have 2 sigs that where proven that event, from different sources, they look exactly the same and totally different to #2 and #3




so - your opinion ?
1/2/3 bueno or no bueno ?

[Priest]

Thanks frank - that's how I know the sig. Nice btw! Did miss him (

[Priest]

But I don't have seen a lot , so I ask for help

[cit74]

First its tough to make out anything in Joe's signature - except for the J, the A and what I presume is the final B in that second hump. I have over a dozen sig's and they are all pretty consistent - going back to the subpress limited's - so back a few years. Mostly all s/l and then a few fat signed books (like from the signed page) - so all authentic - and all consistent.

None have that third hump in #2, none of the J's look good in any of the three and there is no consistency in any of the A's - they all look bad. I would only buy those if they were my books and signed directly in front of me. None of them look good to me. Maybe they were all rushed?

[Priest]

I have the same thoughts as what you said here. Also the fact that to Paul is written so perfectly aligned in all threes even though there should be five years in between. Maybe they were rushed, but the seller states that they where signed in front of him at the signing event - so why should this be rushed ?

But still I somebody doubt that they are fake
Seller has Great Feedback - Tons of Great Feedback ... I am unsure on this

[Bookfriend]

SomekindofStranger and Priest: Thanks for the tip with the remaining stock. That is good to know.
Priest: If I had to guess, I would say the signatures are authentic. Abercrombie´s signature has changed a lot within the last ten years. Here are some pictures with signatures that look a lot like your picture 2 (with the three "waves") and your picture 3. And the timing is about right. And I think I remember that the signature in 2006 often had that same "J".

Well I tried ordering from Goldsboro, and apparently I need a secure code on my MasterCard... So I attempted to sign up for it and it's telling me my CC info is wrong. What is the this secure code BS? I've never used it before and find this rather frustrating.

[Anubis2347]

I believe thats usually a 3 or 4 digit code on the back of the card (by where you would sign your name).

[Bookfriend]

I had the exact same problem. Paypal is so much easier.

I believe thats usually a 3 or 4 digit code on the back of the card (by where you would sign your name).

I don't believe that is it at all, that's what I had thought at first, but I tried putting that in to no avail. It's some sort of buyer protection code for online purchasing... but I can't sign up for some reason. And unfortunately Paypal is not an option for Goldsboro apparently.

[Bookfriend]

That would be the "card security code". I think Theli meant the extra "Mastercard secure code" that you have to pick for yourself. It sure is annoying but an extra layer of security, since the store is not able to see it. Just click the "Forgot code button" and enter your birthday, card expirery date and the last 4 digits of your bank account connected to your card, not the last 4 on the card itself.

[cit74]

The MasterCard secure code came up for me too. I had set it up from some earlier purchase. It gave me the option to send the code to my phone - so it was a completely separate, random 6 digit code - I then typed that in to complete the purchase. But before I did this - it did give me the option to skip this step and just process the payment.

And thanks for the earlier posts on the signature - mine are all more recent - past 6 years - no triple humps on mine.

If they're reasonable prices for the books…

1. Yes !!
2. Yes !!
3. Yes ?? You convicted me ! It's logic and make sense !!

Thanks

[cit74]

Have I missed these for the other books ?

No - other books didn't have them individually - just a large one to house all 3 - guess bill wasn't sure of price point and adding an individual case woulda increased prices (I guess).
