Authenticity is Everything
Star Wars Collectors Unite!
I have been collecting Star Wars autographs since 1998. Not all of my signatures are on Star Wars memorabilia. For example, when I met Warwick Davis at a comic convention in New York City, I had him sign a Willow photograph. I also have publicity photos of Sir Alec Guinness and Christopher Lee from the 1970s, and a Natalie Portman signed The Diary of Anne Frank theater poster from her performance on Broadway back in 1998. My current wish list includes Peter Cushing, Terence Stamp and John Williams. I am interested in knowing about the collections and wish lists of other members.

I know absolutely nothing on Heston. Can you say its a definite forgery?
And I agree on the Fords but I figured for a little sum of money and money back guarantee, it was worth the chance.

I cannot say the Heston is a definite fake. If it is a fake, it's pretty deceptive. But it seems a bit too "neat" and every letter carefully formed for my taste.

Yeah, puzzling he'd have several nice Fords he doesn't mind getting rid of for 40 bucks. Also, why is Harrison priced at $40, while Undertaker/Steve Austin is $124? Weird.

Definitely is. However the nascar graphs are cheap as well. Earnhardt jr signed diecast for $40? They usually average around $100 unauthenticated.
Same with the 12 driver signed picture with Jeff Gordon, Earnhardt Jr, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Keselowski, and other stars. He has it for $40 when with the right buyer, could fetch over $150.
Brandon says they are all good.
Maybe he's just strapped for cash? Who knows.

Yeah, but if he was strapped for cash, wouldn't a low minimum bid make more sense than a low buy it now? Why throw away the potential to make much more on the item?

HUGE NEWS ON THOSE HARRISONS.
Brandon actually traded some of the Harrison's he had gotten in person to this guy for some diecast cars and confirmed these were his. Here is the conversation(rather long). Start from the bottom :).
Wow! Haven't seen those in a while. Yes, I traded him those a long while back (along with several unsigned newer die-cast too ) for some awesome gold chrome 1/24 die-cast cars (low number cars ) that he had. He said he was putting them in his collection, I guess he needed money :( I have regretted getting Rid of the Last Crusade pic because of the way it flows. I love how Harrison didn't raise the Pen in the H. You see that very rarely, when u do, it's beautiful as it shows how his hand flows.
Like I said, this seller is a good guy, he got rid of the secretarial (Cale Yarborough & Darrell Waltrip ) autos that he had as soon as I contacted him a few years ago. He usually has some very rare die-cast for sale from his collection.
However, I'm VERY glad you got these! Sadly, Harrison's current signature is getting sloppier as time goes on :(. He was just here in Morristown, Tn (25 miles away from me) 2 weeks ago to spend time with Callista's family. He signed very little, what he did was a horrible mess :(.
Hope this helps! Sorry for the delay, we have had the flu here.

He's saying the Ford's were provided with you and he cut me a huge deal on them so I'm hoping he's telling the truth :)!
Please let me know.

It's real, they are rushed "garage graphs". The seller is good, he had some secretarials a few years ago and took them down as soon as I pointed them out

Not only am I excited they are real, but the provenance behind them is amazing in my mind!

Well, it didn't take long for that last one to sell.

Thanks for the update Kevin. I find Brandon's comment about Harrison Ford's current in-person autograph interesting. I have also noticed that he is becoming more and more abbreviated in the way that he signs in person these days, particularly in the way that he loops his "H" and "F".

Indeed Mike, The structure and flow that we all used to count on is degrading quickly, the last few signatures that I received from my NY contact showed a slight degrade. Now, it's becoming even more rushed and "scrunched". You are correct, the "H" and "F" are looping totally atypical. I think that true collectors ( NOT talking about the so-called psa and JSA "experts") have seen this happen over the last 1-3 years. However, If you are able to look at recent signatures, you can still add the exemplars up and determine authenticity.

Kevin,
One of the the top experts on Harrison Ford goes by the name of Bendu in the Autographs and Photographs forum on RebelScum.com:
http://forum.rebelscum.com/f576/
You can post a link or the autographs there and see what he says. If he thinks they're good, and you make sure they're not copies when you receive them, you should be fine.
