Authenticity is Everything
Is this Sean Connery legit?
This graph should be legit, but I need your confirmation. Thanks.

I'd like to get more behind this but I'm not sure. At first glance it looked good (even harder to see against the background).
I helped a friend many moons ago with a Connery study he got into. We both came to the conclusion that most of what has been on the market over the years is questionable (especially the Bond related material).
Here's one that I'd submit as a good baseline piece for this era: very natural and unpolished:

Thank you. The seller is in my opinion trustful. He told me that Connery signed this photo in-person in Austria 1987.

Sure thing! Maybe others with experience with him will add here. If you feel comfortable with it and you trust the seller, that's a plus!

p.s. Archived article found when I was digging in the past.....the title is instructive! :
'Autographs? I don't get paid for them - so I don't sign them'... The obsession with money that haunts Sean Connery By PAUL SCOTT FOR MAILONLINE

It's from back in 2008 when he was still with us. A great anecdote included in it:
A friend tells a recent story. After watching as Sir Sean rebuffed yet another autograph hunter in the street with a typical four-letter rebuke, the friend asked Connery why he was so reluctant to sign his name for his fans.
'I'm not getting paid for it,' barked back Connery. 'These b******s sell my signature on the internet for hundreds of dollars. They're making a killing off my back.'

Hate to sound a kill joy but its difficult to know for sure with your one as the sig is signed in a dark place so you would have to have it in your hand to really know. Here is one of mine , a little later than yours
I would wait for a clear sig imo unless the price is right

Nice later piece, michelle!
p.s. I hope you appreciated me sourcing from tabloid DM above...lol 😂

His whole life he was an ungracious, miserable old, Edinburgh Focker. I have intimate knowledge of this as I am one and the same. I don't beat my wife, however, so we differ there.
I find it difficult to judge at first glance the potential authenticity of his signature pre-the- book Being a Scot. He did sign a great deal of these and that is probably the best template for comparison purposes. The OP pic I can't actually see so won't comment.

I must agree re wife beating. His comments with Walters were unacceptable, then or now. As an aside, it is interesting how some flawed celebs get a pass and other do not.
