[Jandek] eBay Weirdness

[billie matson]

So has anyone even tried to get an autograph at this point or tried to talk with him after a show or before?  I guess I feel like lately he is more open to the public so what could it hurt?  Hell if he came here I wouldn't  be afraid to.   As one of the 10 female fans of Jandek I have an obligation LOL!  Billie

Has anyone else noticed an uptick in the bizzare quotient in searching for Jandek on eBay of late? 

It started with the Steve Keene paintings. Then the Richmond amp (Tim, is that you...?)

This one has to be the weirdest though:

Does this seem forged to anyone else? First of all I can't imagine Corwood actually signing an autograph, and second, looking at the correspondence posted on Flickr,  the letters always have an accent at the top of the  "C," not the bottom, and the "d"s don't have a tail. What weirds me out though, is why would anyone bother to forge a Corwood "signature"?



In regards to the postage discussion: I for one can guarantee that Jason was not smoking pot when he came up with the question. While I don't have any particularly interesting stamp pictures, I have recieved mail from Corwood where the stamp was not canceled, which is pretty weird in itself.
