Here's another eBay trap, that's not really a trap, but it's deceptive.
First they get your attention with the small image and the following description : well, you'll see it.
Pretty funny, the seller's not sure if it's by one of the group.
That elusive list of 26 artists, eh ? Hard to find.
DAMN, it just happens to sort of resemble an early Alfred Hair, I guess that causes the confusion.

I suppose it's hard to tell if you're not familiar with this market, and especially with Hair's work at various stages of his short career, but for many of us, the differences are plain as day between a genuine Hair and this copy.
Not braggin', just sayin'.
Be careful out there.
