Authenticity is Everything
AutographLive will be buggy tonight while we test code we're developing for it. Everything should work fine within the next 3-5 hours.
(I wrote this at 7 PM PST.)
Magician HARRY HOUDINI (who died in 1926) signs an autograph album page printed in 1945!
....and PSA/DNA approves it and encapsulates it.
The 40s era swing band + bobbysoxer artwork on the album page should have been the first clue.
Here's another example of the page Houdini allegedly "signed" in the 1940's and a sample of the copyright page of the album that was used to create the now PSA'd signature.

I showed this listing to an advanced Houdini collector (not a general autograph collector).
They responded that the OP looks perfectly legit. I pointed out the issues regarding the 1945 paper/album it came from and they agreed that that is "troubling" but that the signature looks much better than any other fake they had seen.

Willful Ignorance.

I think that official PSA seal of approval goes a long way with most who look at something like this.

It is going less and less to some with these occurrences.

Perhaps "advanced Houdini collector,"

I am astounded at what I see being sold as real in various specialty collection groups online that I've checked out.
If it has a TPA barcode attached to it, let the admiring comments begin.

Nudge me when these stickers/papers become a liability.

The artist of the illustrations in that autograph book was 12 years old when Houdini passed away:
Theresa Hilda D’Alessio (June 25, 1914 – October 13, 2006), better known as Hilda Terry, was an American cartoonist who created the comic strip Teena.
She had quite a career, from the 1930s up through the early years of computer animation.
