If legit you’d need to add at least one zero on the asking prize. Also, no subway (almost) no subway scrawl can/will get anything close to a COA.

Tate Ward selling fakes!, by KGR on Feb 18, 2021 5:44:59 GMT 1, What about seeing these in person makes you think they're real? Unless you own a real one that was ripped off a wall by Keith himself and handed to you that you can compare against, I'm curious what you're basing your assessment on... I'm no expert, and I'm not saying they are 100% legit but if they are fake then someone has done an impressive job. From what I can remember, the backs are covered in layers of old advertising posters that the black paper originally covered. There is certainly some age to them based on the feel of the paper and glue used. I have worked on many of Haring's subway drawings in the past and these feel no different. However the 100+ pieces I have worked on could have also been fakes. You are right. The only way of knowing for sure is acquiring one from the man himself, which you might struggle with now. Personally I would never buy one. I'm sure he would be turning in his grave if he knew how much these were going for.
the guy faking them does a good job but the edges are torn to even and they have white paper stuck to the back unlike ones stolen from the subway. He even started sticking 80s movie posters to the back as well.
its the guy in this article.

These are some of the image he tried to sell me... I have about 10 other works somewhere....they all have the same ripped edges, same paper on the back, same blue chalk writing.
He did subway signs as well that pop up at auction houses from time to time
