Authenticity is Everything
Most Forged Signature or Autograph You Can Name
++ Babe Ruth, all 4 Beatles at one time, John Wayne, Elvis Presley, JFK and Marilyn Monroe.
I've seen terrible examples of these signers yet they always tend to sell for big bucks. I'll let others continue this thread so now it's YOUR turn.

Jeffrey--great topic!
If you're talking about the most forgeries out there, the runaway winner since 2009 must be Michael Jackson--and maybe ever by now. How could it not be? We're aware of one deal with at least 500 alone.
If we include sports, especially Operation Bullpen, then Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle would be major contenders. For politics, Barack Obama.

Obama is basically BO+ vertical slash so the forgers must be having a field day.

Bush 41 and 43 both have very simple signatures as well. I don't imagine it would take much to convincingly replicate either one.

I agree with all the names on this list BUT ONE.
How can Ted Williams (a San Diegan, might I add)?
His signature was so distinct and looks like it would be hard to forge, as opposed to say -- the sloppiness of Jordan, or the M's of Mickey Mantle that are curved and probably easy to duplicate.

Harrison Ford is popular with the Star Wars items, along with Hamill.

there are several variations to Ted Williams and not necessarily the one with the flourish that you might be thinking of. I put a number of his "deemed to be authentic" around here somewhere but here
is a couple of links to Cee Gee's postings from all places Signature Dreams;

they don't have to be good and to many collectors who haven't done the homework they will bite. Reminds me of a "kid" last year who had a Stat Cert Ted Williams. Because of the cert he would swear on a "stack of bibles" that it was authentic. Oh and the link I was thinking about is; http://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/what-is-the-history-...
