Manfred von Richthofen Signed Sanke Card

This is EXACTLY, and I mean EXACTLY , the same signature that appears on MvRs WILL !!!!!!!!!!!!! Any autograph collector knows that is an IMPOSSIBILITY.At least until the autopen came along. Even MvR would not have been able to reproduce his own signature exactly.

See ...'Hunting with Richthofen' Translated by Jan Hayzlett (Photo section between pages 96 and 97) for the original.

My query is how the heck was it transferred to the sanke ?

( I see the seller notes there is no indentation on the card left by the pressure of the signature !!)

My discalaimer....I am not suggesting the seller knows it is a fake, but I always get worried by feedback being kept private !!!!...and who is the solitary bidder with zero feedback...I will let you draw your own conclusions !!

Hi,
in the last few months many MvR signtures showed up.
Especially on one german website of the autograph dealer S.K.
How is that possible?
I have very bad feelings about that, especially the "clippings" .
I don't think that it was so usual to get a signature on a blank paper.
Also went the price for a MvR signature very down.
Years ago I have to pay a lot of money for a original sig. now it's available for under 1000 Euro.
Can all this signatures be authentic?
The same happened with Voss autographs.
Suddenly there showed up 4-6 sigs on blank paper or Sanke cards.
I don't know what I should think about that.
