Authenticity is Everything

Al Jolson - opinions needed

Hi everybody,

what do you think of this Al Jolson? The sig itself seems good to me (although I'm not really familiar with Jolson), but it seems to have "the Look": no context, perfectly centered, beautifully written ...

What do you think?

KaiMi, Up front, I do not have a Jolson in my collection….not a fan….That being said these exemplars on the most part make your op look lifeless and not quite rite…IMHO.

KaiMi -

I'd say follow your instinct on this one....not good.

David -

I think the JSA'd # 3 is secretarial. I had one of those 5" x 7"s many years ago and found out later it wasn't from him.

Etienne, As I stated I was not a fan of the actor….he was not in my wheelhouse, I spent a few minutes online and I made a "quick opinion"…no charge…KaiMi corrected me on one of my Clark Gable autographs that I then trashed…I had lost my mind….The handful of us on this site who have an interest in the more vintage have to stick together…….
