I would recommend that anyone does some due diligence on this item if they are thinking of bidding on it.

eBay Item #281555591274

The seller states "Comes with a certificate of authenticity for peace of mind", I must say it does not give me any peace of mind. I can't read the signature, Tolkien's name is spelt wrong and the company that has supposedly authenticated this (Unique Autographs inc.) has no presence on the Internet.

Update: The item sold for £301
