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.

3 attempts to answer this. Yes it is, but you don't want it.

What's wrong with not to have ? Price too much or shape is not good ?

You only see this variety of his signature in one signing from the middle 90's. It's from a company that no one trusts anymore because of stupid COAs being photocopied for their sports material.
In my opinion the company was great and never had a bad Star Wars or Star Trek item, but the COA was just paper, and they didn't number their items, so people copied the COA and stuck it with bad sports stuff....tarnishing the name.
Mark had signed 1000's of items and this is what the end of that run looks like.
I know it's real and Mark probably knows it's real.....any other company like PSA DNA or JSA will likely call it fake.
So you can go buy it , and no one will believe you that it's real.
That's why.

Mark has plenty of varieties in his signature from MarkHamill, to MakHaill, to MkHaill, to MHaill.
MkHaill is the most recognized today, so do you really want a MHall?

I assume you are referring to Scoreboard?

Give that man a Cigar!
Yeah, Scoreboard was ahead of the times, really before the internet boomed, they were the first company to put together full cast pieces and make them available to the public in quantity. Their QVC/HSN offerings might have seemed pricey at the time, when they were pumping them out in the mid to late 90's, but the stuff was all good.
It really is a shame that their aftermarket value has crashed so hard because of the scumbags out there with a Xerox machine.

As a sports collector, Scoreboard is well known to me and I knew they did some Star Trek pieces as well. I did not know they did any Star Wars related signings. Learn something every day. :-)

For whatever reason I see the Star Wars stuff commonly tied to QVC and not scoreboard, maybe because scoreboard has a bad rap now. They also did posters with the main cast, minus ford. You occasionally see them up on eBay for decent prices, good starter pieces for collectors.

Every item Scoreboard sold was legit. Regrettably, their name is now more associated with fakes than authenticity due to the photocopied and swapped out COAs.

Pete can you show us a prime Mark Hamill to look for ?
-

I can show you, but there are plenty of collectors keeping an eye out for them.
A better idea is for you to look for a standard modern Hamill, like these...
