Harrison Ford Questionable Autographs

Some of you know me, and from what I understand, someone caught selling yet another bad Ford autograph has once again, decided to spout off at the mouth. Claims that I am a dealer and I only tell unsuspecting autograph buyers that their item is fake so that I can sell my own Harrison Fords. Again I am hearing claims that the likely supplier of the forgeries is the true expert on Harrison Ford autographs.

Side note the seller sent me a friend request message yesterday with the single question about if I knew a particular collector. In my world this says plenty, and likely tells me where the piece originated.

When I tell people that I track the sale of Harrison Ford autographs, I am not kidding around, I watch sales here, I watch sales on rebelscum and on ebay and other online auction sites.

Who signed them? Who is the forger? I am not going to play games and point fingers, nor will I even guess if the supplier is the forger, all I can do is put together where they came from.

I will give the people that have had these in their possession, that courtesy. They can come clean about where they got them as the "in-person" and "private signing" stories fall apart.

This is the same courtesy I tried to provide to Marc Moser, the last guy caught in a huge Ford Forgery mess. He decided to drag my name thru the mud for a few months as well, but by doing that he just shot himself in the foot. People will wake up sooner or later, and the truth does come out.

I present these images to you, again supplying the signatures and letting the people on this forum and others as judge, you decide the truth. You will also be the deciding factor if these autograph professionals keep their reputations or if they have earned brand new ones.

Every item below has been tracked to the most recent seller, and through his own admission the source of the autographs, I will also include items sold elsewhere by the supplier who admitted on these very pages to supplying some of these.

The pattern is pretty clear to me.

As for the recent claims about me being a dealer, out to only hurt other peoples supposedly reputable business.

Please keep in mind, that anyone that has purchased anything at all from me in the past 5 years has approached me. When they do I usually point them in other directions and offer to authenticate (for free) any item they ask about, from any other source.

I'm not an authority on Harrison Ford, but I think it has a decent chance of being genuine. I would not want it, tho.

I was just enquiring. Thank you for your advice, STEVE. I will not bid on this one. For the record, it doesn't belong to Tom K.

Pete, this one is for you. Harrison's full signature in the early years. Could you tell me the years he signed this way before starting the abbreviated style?

Thanks in advance.

Contracts and very few pieces have hit the market signed before 1977, but obviously these early pieces all are his full signature. From the start of his worldwide popularity in the summer of 1977 thru most of the 1980's he signed relatively full versions of his signature, with letters dropping off here and there. By the start of the 1990's he would sign both ways, abbreviated on occasion but forming a full A in his Harrison, but with shorter versions of Harrison, jokingly called his HAM FRD period.

He did indeed sign his fuller nice signature on items for charity or single pieces here or there in the early part of the 90's, but by the middle 90's the autograph hounds really started piling up outside of any venue where he was known to be.

Documents, receipts, checks and even contracts all seem to show his shorter version of his signature from the mid-90's to today.

There have been special request pieces where he has indeed still scribbled out his full signature, he did on a friends SW poster back in the late 90's early 2000's, and he did so on a Japanese TV show, while he did press for the last Indy film back in 2008.
