Authenticity is Everything
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.

Thanks for the help Pete! He's a tough one to authenticate for sure, you make it look so simple!

No, No, No, No, Yes (but pretty ugly) and No.

How much would a good/fair price be for the 'ugly' one?

That is your decision. Harrison's most recent signings range from $650-$1000.
You can probably hire someone to take their chances and get him on your item...no matter what it looks like you will pay the fee, probably starting at about $500.
If you are happy with the shot, which I can't imagine you would be ....Cowboys and Aliens wasn't a very good film. You offer what you are comfortable with spending.
Keeping in mind that you won't be able to sell it down the line if you find something better.
Settling for an eh signature is ok, if you have a shot at trading or selling it later. (Indy, SW, Bladerunner)

Thanks for all your help Pete! It's being offered to me for under $100... I have a feeling it's that price because it's rushed and as you noted the image is from a movie that is hardly Harrison's finest hour. The big question is for the price and it being a genuine Ford autograph... can I pass on it... :)

That's what I meant when I said it's your call. I have between 150 and 200 Fords, so I can most definitely "pass on it."
You have to decide if you can.

I think I'll go with my gut and go for it! Something tells me when I get the chance again it will probably be for a HIGH price tag. Thanks for all the help Pete!

Before I go ahead with the other autograph I thought I'd ask about this. I think it looks good?

Sloppy but real.
