Beware of what you're buying!

The article shows some forgeries of McFarlane and Adams work.
McFarlane's signature alone put doubt in my mind

Ouch.
Both my Spider-Man 1 covers have the authentic McFarlane signature

I didn't read the article. Did these actually fool anyone? That Adams fake is embarrassingly bad.
Ok, I read it. Burkey?! Geez, that's a little embarrassing.

I was somewhat surprised that Burkey was taken on this one as well. McFarlane’s sketches are rare so there isn’t a lot to go by in terms of examples but that Adams piece was clearly a fake

I have seen the fake Spiderman Mcfarlane before for sale on Ebay I think. It has been posted about 6 months ago on the CGC boards.

This is why I've decided to only ever get sketches or commissions/pin ups directly from the artist (or their rep). Saves me from having to worry if I'm getting the real mccoy or a fake.

Not too long ago, some fellow on eBay was selling traced Jim Lee sketches.
