Sylvester Stallone - opinions please!

Could this be a real Stallone? His full signature is pretty easy to authenticate, but these shorter (rushed?) ones can be tricky. What do you guys think?

I like it, but there are some real Sly experts on here.  Hopefully they will agree.

Sounds good, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

This was done at a private signing through Authentic Signatures Inc. Here is my eBay listing.

Thanks for the help, guys! I just want to throw one last piece up here. It has been authenticated by PSA/DNA, but it comes from one of those huge dealers who automatically gets a sticker no matter what they send in (I've read in some of the older discussions about former PSA/DNA employees who is now working for these dealers, which gives them an "inside man" with the authentication company).

This one is a mix between a short and a full signature, so I think Bradford might like this one better? However, the signature is smaller and I don't really like the actual photo.

That one I'm definitely more comfortable with. It's a lot closer to the one I have than the other. I also trust PSA and even though it's not a full signature , like my example, it is much closer to it than your original photo. I'm just not so sure on the other. I have a friend that is a Stallone expert if you would like me to send your first with. I think I know what he will so though.

Here is one that is a semi-stacked signature like the one you most recently produced. It was done through Celebrity Authentics and is the real deal. You do the comparison.

Thanks for the reference material! This last one you posted seems very similar to my second one. Also, I have to keep in mind that I might want to sell it sometime in the future, so a signature that is a bit longer/semi-stacked might make it easier. Plus the sticker does weigh in a bit, however as I mentioned before, this piece comes from one of those huge dealers where I think PSA/DNA goes by the reputation of the dealer more than the actual piece.

Of course what I'd really love to have is one of the full signatures, the ones he does at official signings, but I really can't afford one of those right now. I have to go for the second best.

I've never heard ANYTHING regarding PSA authenticating something based on dealer reputation alone. That might be worthy of a discussion start in the forum. To make sure getting you straight, you are saying they will authenticate with no inspection/examination???? That's very hard to believe unless it's like the private signing dealers maybe???
