Al Pacino - Real???

I purchased this back in 97 from Autograph World out of NH.  Would love to hear if you think its real or not.  JSA said they do not authenticate Pacino anymore, so I was thinking about sending this off to PSA.

Real or not.. ?

thanks!

Mark

Sorry, but that is his typical secretarial signature.

Mark- Pacinos signature is all over the place that it is nearly impossible to authenticate. I think most authentication companies actually push them back. I had a friend of mine that had avideo of Pacino signing and took them to PSA and they did'nt reject them they just said they were inconclusive which basicly means they don't want to authenticate them. This does'nt look like a typical Pacino signature however like I said he is all over the place the way he signs so there is no true way to tell for sure.

hopefully this helps.

It does help.  I am just trying to sell off some of my collection and really feel that I need to have it authenticated to get a decent price when I sell it.  I got this from Autograph World - which I have read on here does have a good reputation.  But trying to sell it with just the Autograph World Certificate has me a little concerned is all..  thanks

I have gotten Pacino about 7 times since the late 80's.  All different.  A dot, A line dot, Al P dot, Al with a circle.  The one you show could be good and could not.  I'd say it is impossible to know.  I'm sure I have some that would not pass authentication but I know they are real because I was there.

I am guessing that is why JSA will not even touch it..

Did you ever ask Autograph World how and when they acquired the autograph?  They may still be able to answer those questions for you if you have an item number.

100% Genuine. I am away for the next 10 days but can post up quite a few similar examples I got from him when I was living in the States in the early through to late 90's. As others have said his signature changes minute to minute and I have 3 or 4 signed at the same time that look different.

Yes it is real . I am currently out of town or else I would post examples.

Thank you for your opinion!  Looks like I will send it to PSA - I just hope they are familiar with Pacino signature in the 90s.

do you mind posting a picture, never seen a full autograph of pacino.

Joey, that's the best way to collect Pacino.  Those autographs are much more expensive and much more rare but will retain value much better than anything that he scribbles today.
