Yet another ebayer authenticautographscompany

I bought a Johnny Depp Auto from them a little while back. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=272180863049&a...
Real or no. It looked good to me when I got it & the story checked out, but if it's not real...I can take it.
Meatalsinger1 is another seller that I purchased from in the past - Is he the real deal?

I bought a Melissa George auto from them (authenticautographscompany) this week. I take a heaping dose of suspicion with every eBay dealer I look at before I buy and their credentials satisfied me. With the information I can gather, I assign each graph a value on my '50-70-90' scale. That is, a 90 (meaning 90% likely authentic) means almost certainly genuine, a 70 is probably genuine, and a 50 is possibly genuine. I don't mess with anything under 50, and the only way to get a 100 is to witness in person. I don't know enough about recognizing a Depp but the graph I bought I graded a 90. That doesn't mean a lot with regards to Mr. Sparrow other than a vote of confidence that they seem like they get items signed themselves.

As for Metalsinger1, I am hesitant, more than that I think he's too risky a bet. If you check his feedback as a buyer , you can see he buys all sorts of autographs on the cheap and then just resells them with his own COA. Now some of those autos may very well be authentic, but who knows where most of them are coming from? For that reason I stay away.

Hope these opinions are of use to you!

Of the 4 celeb graphs I'm very familiar with:

Natalie Portman appears it could be real.

Farrah Fawcett looks like a shaky hand trying to mimic her exquisite script, check out those dodgy F's. I say fake without much hesitation.

Angelina Jolie & Lacey Chabert's graphs are on faked photos. That's always a HUGE red flag for me.

So of those 4, I would completely avoid 3 of them. Not good! When it comes to autographs I prefer to err on the side of caution, and therefore consider a 'guilty by association' element regarding items from a single seller which reduces my view of the Portman from a 70 to a 50.

Would be interested in what others think.
