I had ordered an autograph by them it was an Uma Thurman Autograph. The autograph seems legit to me and from other examples of her autograph I've seen they look similar. I've looked at other autographs and they look spot on to other examples of celebrities but there is one that kinda struck me as strange and it was Keria Knightley Autograph. Where it just looks kinda like a reverse question mark. As seen here.

Also I submitted it to PSA/DNA for a quick Opinion and they said Likely Not Genuine.

I would hate to know the Autograph I bought from them is a fake.

There is no way for PSA or any company to authenticate Keira's latest version of her autograph. That's all you get is the start of a K. She has been signing that way now for about 5 years.

I stopped after she dropped to a single K, these are authentic samples from 1999 to about 2007.

I think the shot you linked to is likely authentic, but when she is in essence giving a checkmark, you can't really authenticate that with paperwork.

Hmm, Thank you sir. I appreciate your answer. I've seen mutiple autos from her singing with KK and I do like that autograph much better but I like this display alot. Although, would anyone care to tell me what they think of this seller? I do have one little thing though that kinda makes worried, it's the fact I bought an Uma Thurman Autograph off of them and after I bought it, it said "Out of Stock" and now 3-4 months later it says "In Stock" on that same item. When I received the autograph it's the same as pictured in the photo. But it's not a reprint or a Pre printed autograph either, so any thoughts?

My best answer would be to ask if you actually checked yours against this image. Is the signature itself the exact same placement, or just similar. If you do have an exact match, email them and ask if the item shown is the actual item you would receive? Or a different signature placement.

Their response should tell you everything you need to know.

Looking at their other celeb selections, I don't see anything wrong with their Harrison Fords, Tom Hardy, Al Pacino or Darth Vader displays.

Alright sir, so this website you would say is legit and not fraudulent. Correct? I know with Pre Printed and Reprinted autographs is the ink on the photo itself wouldnt appear different on the photo itself and will appear very flat. When light reflected it would disappear into the photo. Also it won't blaze different colors I.E. for blue ink, it turns Purplish when reflected off of sunlight or a flashlight, the black ink does change to a Redish Color and my Uma Thurman autograph does that, so I don't see it being a pre print or a reprinted auto.

That is all correct, Sharpie will glow a different color under light.

If the image on their site offering the new Uma is the same exact image as yours, they may just be using an old scan to show the display.

Ahh okay, thank you sir very much. I've been really kinda worried I got a fake possibly but I bought from them because they were an AFTAL dealer and I bought my first Autograph which was a Samuel L Jackson from a different AFTAL Dealer and it's a spot on Autograph with Signing details too.

Although I was wondering if you could tell me if you or anyone else for that matter could tell me if this Ebay Seller is legit he goes by the Ebay ID themovieceller

I've bought quite a few autographs by him and most of it from what I can tell from comparing autographs they're authentic. Some even come with signing details. Here's a couple I have from him. First one is a Joan Jett Auto, Second one is a Kate Beckinsale Auto and the laat one is a Jessica Alba autograph. The first two look real and spot on but the Alba one I'm not too sure but it came with signing details of when and where it was signed. It was signed on June 10th 2014 Samsung Hope For Children Gala 2014.

I can't speak about all of their material, but after a look at their stock, I wouldn't touch some of the stuff with a ten foot pole.

They have a TTM secretarial Frank Oz, fake Milla Jovovich stuff and a fake Scarlett Johansson.

Although I do appreciate you helping out.

The Kate and Jessica are within the acceptable variations that their signatures go thru for inperson samples.

You have to be the final decision maker.

Alright sir, from looking at those to mine the Beckinsale one I own looks pretty identical but I'm no expert so all the help is appreciated. Thsnk you for helping me out sir.
