I'll add my personal buyers beware - I think that probably 99% of the
so-called authentic Joni autographed items on eBay are fake, and not even
good fakes. I truly cringe every time I see one come up and see people
bidding sometimes very high prices for these items. Even if they say they
have a COA - Certificate of Authenticity, these are mostly fakes, sad to
say. A number of people on the list have the real deal, so if anyone out
there is thinking of bidding on this type of item, they might want to run it
by the list here first for a better "authentication." Once in a while in a
big blue moon, there will come a real one. ;-)
