Is this a preprint? Help wanted!

Hi everyone!

Would appreciate your help, does these photos prove that this James Earl Jones autograph is a preprint? Or can it still be a genuine signed photo?

The reason for asking is that a buyer of this graph is now claiming it’s a preprint and I would appreciate some other opinions before issuing him a refund.

Thank you for helping!

The glare was my concern. The autograph is typical. The glare appears to be reflecting off of a pure photograph. A seller could have made copies of an authentic autographed photo. I could be wrong. Best of luck, Cogo.

It's very difficult to be certain through a photo, but it looks like there may be indications of indentations. The light seems to be reflecting differently possibly off of indentations in these two spots.

In any case, I always recommend issuing a refund and getting the item back. It's not worth debating with a buyer. If it is live ink, you can sell it again.
