Is presspasscollectibles legit for inexpensive modern hollywood stuff?
I read on here that presspass was getting some expensive music stuff rubber stamped by some TPAs. I own an original signed poster from them, and I was looking at another when I saw some of this recent stuff about presspass. I will probably pass on future purchases; but is there any indication that there sub $200 modern hollywood stuff is forged. I have this psa/dna charlie Sheen poster and I though the auto was ok, but with what I am hearing about presspass I am getting a little nervous. I attached a picture of the auto. Thanks in advance for any info.

Best thing to do is search them here. One member here knew the owner and questions his integrity. I also wonder about the sheer amount of signed items. Some times half the signed McCartney albums on Ebay are from them. they have almost everybody and with PSA. Many of their signatures of modern stars are scribble that if you or me sent to PSA would get turned down so there are questions.

I totally agree Ian; that is why I am questioning this Charlie Sheen auto. I am not planning on any future purchases from them. I am just trying to get an idea as to whether it is all fake. It seems to me that it would not be worth their time to get some of this sub $200 stuff forged and rubber stamped by psa/dna.
The charilie Sheen auto I attached in the original post looks ok to me, but I am a novice and I do not have much faith in my opinion.

Sorry Im not much help, I googled Sheens autograph and it looks close to some. Doing that for exemplars is not that much help because many of the images are usually forgeries also! Finding legit sellers and looking at their items is a help but I don't have time. Ive read PP also buys autographs so I would figure they are a mixed bag seller. The prices of items is immaterial because they can do it in bulk for a flat rate and get multiple things "authenticated".

What do you think Mr Meyer? His looks kinda slow signed to copy. Thanks for an authentic pic, Im a Sheen fan , I hear he is pretty good with fans if he is not too high.

Hard to tell from picture. Looks close but sig breaks in spots I'm not used to seeing and I agree it looks more deliberate and slow.
I don't buy from that seller. Reputation of that guy here in AZ is enough to chase me off. Folks I know and trust know that guy. Their word good enough for me. Steve K on here knows this guy personally. He can address more on that than I could.
And Sheen is a far better signer when high. Puts him in a good mood I guess.

Thanks, yeah I would not recommend PP.

Thanks guys. I will post a higher resolution pic tomorrow (too much glare with artificial light to get a good one tonight). The auto is on an original double sided Terminal Velocity poster. They are available on Ebay for cheap (about $15), so it may be something a reasonably confident forger would not be afraid to use.
It looks pretty close to the auto pen in this thread:

It does look a little too slow and deliberate to me. It is either a good forgery or a good sober auto that he took his time with. Also, I agree with Rick that the break in the S is atypical and somewhat concerning, although I have seen breaks in some of his sigs before.
