Frank Oz purchase - not legit

[rallison470]

I finally got around to taking photos of my Frank Oz purchase that is not authentic hand signed. I know as soon as I looked at it - the signature is not glossy like a sharpie - it's matt like paint. I looked at it more closely and there are no cross overs where there should be, it's just flat. I think it is a very good stamp or some kind of screen print. I also looked at other examples of the same signed photo on ebay and they have the exact same signature (in slightly different positions, but the same), so I think that The Jim Henson Company sent these out some time ago to TTM requests. I am going to keep hold of this and take the 'hit' (it didnt cost that much). I want to keep the letter (at least this is original) and I don't want to waste money sending it back to Canada. I will be letting the seller know though. Will be doing more research first next time.

Always good to see the not so good reported as it is a useful reference for others. I hope you get a legit Frank Oz soon.
