The purported signature of Donald Trump on a Bible that sold recently on eBay for $325 is fake, three authenticators said.
"The percentage of fake autographs being sold on eBay ... is easily 50 percent or more," said an expert on counterfeit goods sold online.
"I have taken a close look and compared the book to our authentic exemplar database," Steffman said by email."The signature on the Bible definitely does not appear to be an authentic signature from President Trump. The odds of it being real are zero percent in my opinion." The seller responded through eBay's messaging system to questions from NBC News about the listing:"Do not contact me again or I will contact my lawyer and get you for harassment."
He said until the platforms are held directly liable for the sale of items with counterfeit signatures, they'll continue to facilitate them because"it's a substantial money maker for them." "The high value of Trump's autograph and his heart rate monitor-style signature make him one of the most faked autographs on the market," he said by email."The percentage of fake Trump autographs for sale on eBay is much higher than authentic signatures, without a doubt."
