STUDY: Jerry Lee Lewis - TTM real or not real

Steve asked me to start a new thread since some were having a lot of issues with regards to whether or not the through the mail autographs of Jerry Lee Lewis are real or not. I will post some examples of what we have been getting recently and some know in person examples. These TTM signatures are not cheap. You have to pay $50 for them to his box office box. The question is are they real or not. Roger has said that he has never seen Mr. Lewis sign this way and it looks to perfect - like a woman's signature.

Please post your thoughts here and examples.

thanks

Mark

Real quick and these few posts will be all for a while, NO, the "Y" does not loop nor does the upstroke of the "J: flow through the letter.

I think I'm going to go with PSA on this one.

the point is that the have certified what have been later proved to be "secretarial". So having PSA/DNA on this really doesn't prove anything.

I previously posted the following:

PSA/DNA autheticated at least two JLLs that are supposed to be in the hand of Whitten. Apparently they believe that it can be rationally argued.

I received this response from authenticator Steve Zarelli, whose opinion I respect:

The difference is that PSA did not cert the suspect pick guards as part of a huge batch of consistently atypical examples. In onesies and twosies it is conceivable the suspect style could slip by.

I would assume that PSA realized that there are substantially more than two signature exemplars from this limited edition available for consideration and utilized those exemplars? No?

Why don't you ask them? Notice I said them as their is no clue as to which of the countless employees looked at this. Oh I'm sorry, you can't ask them because they won't tell you. Nevermind

I read a posted email correspondence in which someone from PSA stated that the signer of the LOA is one of the authenticators who reviewed the signature(s). Is that not the case?
