New To Collecting

You all have been very helpful. I am just starting out collecting as a hobby and I am still learning the ropes. Your opinions and posts have been very helpful. I am still trying to learn how to find fakes from the real autographs. I know some of you have also mention that fake items can get authenticated at genuine by many of the companies such as psa/dna and the others. So how much can you trust these items compared to others. I also know as many have said site like ebay most items are fake and that you only truly know someting is authentic is if you have seen them sign the item with your own eyes.

I am curious as to what you guys think about the link below whether is is authentic or not.

The problem I have is alot of the stars I collect are not as well known and do not have alot of examples to look at.

the best bet is to always post pictures here for opinions. on this item id personally say it's no good just based on the size and it looks like the samemarker or pen was used for the sigs.normally someone wouldnt take the time to bring such a big item around. BUT with something with a few examples like this id say ask the seller if theres a recipt or proof of it coming from the lifetime fundraiser as he claims.IF he has a recpit it could be good if there no additional reasserance id pass on it. check with the other seller if theres proof it was donated by the producer as both these posters look similar. If one can prove its good id say there both good and to bid on the one currently around 20 dollars. i doubt the 300 dollar one will sell

I thought on the off chance they might have been real because I know for a fact that lifetime has given cast signed army wives posters away for contests but I am not sure what they looked like.

I am not as concerned about it being signed on poster as the cast is very big into charity causes. I have seen photos where they signed posters at military sites. My main concern is whether the signatures are real and I am having a hard time finding comparisons to check them against. I have asked the sellers some questions but I do not have any answers yet.

hopefully they will give you some help. if you know they are big into charity and have signed posters in the past id say they are good to go! the sigs look the same on both posters from different sellers- normally a good sign. My earlier comment was just genral advice as the topic was new to collecting and normally cast signed posters are very hard to come by in most fields of collecting.

these posters are most likley good based on the information you added- the charity signings and signing these posters in the past. I doubt the poster is sold in stores so it's unlikley that different people got these forged them all looking the same on both posters then listed them as charity auctions since id assume there autographs don't normally sell for much? they wouldn't be a prime forgers target especially just to give it all away to charity. id say 95% chance there legit
