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.

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".
