Another sketch purportedly done by Tolkien: http://cgi.ebay.com/ANTIQUE-PENCIL-SK ... wings?hash=item33594593d9

I reported it as well.

Frankly, I'm a bit fed up with all these fake items. If you think it is a fake, please do the same.

Some letters and signed books are available for sale through Alexander Autographs this month.

So, for those US collectors that have been trying to secure a copy of The Ring Goes Ever on - Proceedings of the Tolkien 2005 Conference (2 volumes), Amazon.ca (Canada) has the set available for about $70 (US, including shipping). Even though this might seem a bit pricey, it is less expensive than buying it directly through the Tolkien society, which would run you $100 (US) for surface mail and $132 (US) for air mail. However, it takes about a month before it ships.

For all those interested, here is how to report an item on eBay. I imagine if enough of us report these letters, hopefully something will be done.

The only question that remains is which category do these items fall under. I'm thinking perhaps "Fraudulent listings." What do you guys think?
