Isn't this a bargain at this point?

If I was righthanded, or a collector, I'd be in on this one.

Decent, but I don't think I'd go over the grand mark. I'm sure some CS fans here would.

Looks like someone scribbled something with a Sharpie on the lower horn. Maybe that's why it's so low in price. Looks similar to mine. I wonder if it's possible to remove the scribble. If it didn't have the Sharpie stains I might have bid on it.

I once got an autograph (one of the Badfinger members) on my Hofner bass, I later regretted. I pored over the internet and found others who had the same dilemma and fixed it. I got one of the products, which was OOP'S Multi-Purpose remover. It took the permanent ink black marker off 100 % with no damage to the surface.

It still has over 7 days to go....

Can't make out what is on the lower bout, in front of the signature....

Seen in this picture....

Tape? Flaking of the paint? Got me!

It looks like someone taped a protective cover over the signature.

Ah, good eye Greg!

I didn't catch the tape by the end of the signature.....that's what it looks like...

Thanks!

The text of the listing does mention that there is plastic over the sig:

"Please note there's a transparent piece of plastic covering the autograph."

We don't need no stinkin' text.

Actually, I have a confession.
I can't read.

LOL!

That explains it, it was the LAST LINE!

I though I had ALL the information I needed!

Boy, I'm having ONE OF THOSE DAYS!

My dog tried to read it to me.

It didn't say "BACON". So he left the room without uttering a sound.

LOL! Hey- the dog in the commercial clearly says "There! From that bag- I CAN'T READ- what's it say?"
Cats can't read either: http://badcontrol.com/wp-content/upload ... 3/cats.jpg

Oh, I don't know. That looks like a pretty tough crowd, I'm betting they kicked the dog's butt and just took over...
