Need opinions on Leonardo Dicaprio and ALEJANDRO INARRITU signatures

Hi guys, new member here. I've been following this website for some time now and really appreciate the opinions and advice from everyone on here. You guys have even saved me from buying something fake from the ebay seller probstein123 (THANK YOU).

Long story short, I'm an avid and experienced collector of MMA memorabilia but fairly new to everything else. I've been scammed before and while it was a hard learning lesson, I've learned a lot from it and got my money back.

What I'm currently looking at are two posters signed by actor Leonardo Dicaprio and director Alejandro Inarritu. Both of them are PSA/DNA certified and both certification numbers show up in their data base. The ebay seller is nicksportsautographs.

I know that PSA/DNA is probably the most legit in terms of certification of autographs, but I have also heard (not sure if it's true or not) that they have certified some fakes.

Here are the links to the images:

Leonardo Dicaprio signature and Alejandro Inarritu signatures

I feel like Dicaprio hardly signs anything and Inarritu doesn't seem to be the most well known director in the United States so I'm almost wondering if these somehow got passed and certified by PSA/DNA and they are actually fake.

Can anyone give a rookie any opinions, information or advice?

Thank you all so much and I look forward to hearing back from any of you.

Ok awesome, I think I'm going to buy it and this one from skylinesignatures on eBay:

According to everyone on this discussion these both sound like legit seller/dealers and websites.

I too can vouch for JD Bardwell and Mr. Jones of Autograph World. Bardwell I believe authenticates for PSA-DNA, maybe JSA cannot recall but one of them. I have purchased from them many times albeit classic not modern.

Hello again,

Be sure to select good contrast and placement. Just so you know, many collectors, not all clearly, will avoid that little sticker like vandalism. I'd get many opinions here before buying, without regard for the source..

I am not a fan of having the sticker on my autographed items and also avoid buying such items. That sticker is ugly.

That sticker will prevent me from buying anything I can think of.

It can easily be requested to be on the back. But, sellers want it and its free billboard advertising nature on the front. It is not as if any attempt was made to do anything but make it very noticeable. As do some buyers. Oddly, you rarely/never see anything truly incredible with a sticker on the front.

Hey guys, sorry to bump this discussion again but I'm running into some difficulties with a seller. How many of you have personally bought from Skyline Signatures (Eric) on eBay? I started a brief conversation with him and I mentioned that some experts on live.autographmagazine.com referred me to him. It has now been over 24 hours since he has responded.

Did I make some rookie mistake I'm unaware of? Or is this typical behavior of him? Maybe he's busy? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Btw, Samuel Clifford, I mentioned your name in our conversation. I hope this was okay as he asked who personally referred me to him.

I know I'm more than late to be bumping this discussion, but I just wanted to thank everyone who's helped me on this forum as I've made several purchases that I'm beyond excited to have in my possession. Over the past week, I've purchased from both "thefriendlystranger" and Signature Pieces by Autograph World. Thanks to everyone that helped contribute to this discussion and helped me make authentic purchases from legit sellers. I'm forever grateful.
