Up until today, conventional wisdom had it that there are only two known-to-be authentic photos of legendary Mississippi blues musician and songwriter Robert Johnson in the whole world. Johnson died in 1938 at the age of twenty-seven, seemingly without leaving behind a photo scrapbook, but if you act now some dude called “sdphan” will sell you a totally unauthenticated third picture for the bargain price of $795,000. Even better? If you apply for an eBay credit card you don’t even have to start making payments for three months. If you?re interested, we also have some great Enron stock for you to take a look at.

Seriously, it’s not as if these images don’t have some obvious similarities, but thiz supposedly long-lost third shot looks like the dude selected the “aged parchment” backdrop on Photoshop and cut-and-pasted a 1930s vintage shot of a young black dude with intense eyes. We thought thiz auction frenzy was getting crazy when the whole Velvet Underground fake bid scandal went down a few weeks ago, but at least in that instance the product was real (or so we think). Is the appetite for collectible rock artifacts thiz powerful? Are we sick of auctions yet?
