Doyle Brunson to eBay Flippers: No More Autographs (PokerNews.com)

Doyle Brunson was upset to discover his "fans" have been selling his autographs on eBay, so he's decided that he will no longer sign autographs.

"Texas Dolly" is now a World Poker Tour ambassador and remains active in the poker community. Brunson didn't sign any autographs at the 2022 WSOP because he wasn't in attendance. The Poker Hall of Famer, who turns 89 next month, flirted with the idea of competing in some this summer but inevitably decided against it due to COVID-19 concerns. "Sorry to hear that Doyle! Had the pleasure of meeting you in Abilene during my time as an Assistant Football Coach there 2008-2011. But just remember that a lot of people do cherish those things from you, and that's why there's a market for them as well, and I think that joy real fans get is worth dealing with scammers/scalpers," @CadeCottrell wrote in response to Brunson's tweet. Some of the higher end Brunson autographs on eBay have even been graded and authenticated.

Since then, with eBayโ€™s withdrawal from the Chinese market, the firm has also been transferred to Tom Group, and has gradually faded out of public view. In 2005, it was also connected with PayPal, in an attempt to make online payment easier for users. 2003 was a turning point in EachNet.comโ€™s fate, as Taobao was founded in the same year. In August 1999, the firm was set up in Shanghai, specializing in e-commerce. Users of the website could then trade with more than 100 million users from America, Europe and Asian countries.
