I have doubts.

I don't know about the autographs, but in my opinion, AITF is the greatest sitcom of all-time, just barely edging out Seinfeld and MASH.

A classic! I tried looking for a signed cast photo a few years ago but couldn't find much help as far as authenticity. Following to see what responses you get. Good luck. If/when you find a genuine set, I'll be envious!

I agree with Steve and he has a Carroll O'Connor signature study somewhere on here. I was just talking with my good friend Mike P. about starting an All in the Family discussion as soon as I get the 40 or so autographs scanned.

My first gut reaction was the same hand did all four. You typically see more variation in size and pressure among the four.

I think you are probably correct. I would not be comfortable having any of them in my collection as they appear.

I'd really appreciate that study, Scott. A signed item like this is still high on my wishlist.

I never did a study, but if I recall, there was a thread a few years back in which we discussed an AITF cast photo that had a questioned Carroll O'Connor. (The other sigs were good.) I believe some others chimed in with examples.

Was watching an episode of Gunsmoke recently from 1966 or 67 that had Carroll O'Connor as a guest star. He looked so much younger without that wild white head of hair. LOL

You are right it was Brick that added the study but I remember you added to it. Think I posted a check of his. That Gunsmoke episode was probably "Major Glory" I remember watching that when it aired one of the first things I remember him from. I think he did another Gunsmoke but I do not recall that one as well. He was such a great actor.
