About 17 years ago this occurred. Read toward the end of the Linn's article about the two shill bidders along with the fake cover.

Yes I remember this well. It was big news of the day. Dana was a huge ebay seller back then. I had no idea that he was still around.

Here is a fine link to John Fox fakes, of which there are MANY. The cover in question appears to be 9610804.
