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.

I tend to give any graph 3 strikes, this beauty has 5 or 6.

My take is that anyone who knows Harry's signature should avoid preordering anything from these mooks.
If you feel you have to deal with them, be sure to see the actual item you will receive before you send them a bloody nickel.
Even then ....I wouldn't want one, because when the shizznit finally hits the fan, they will all be questionable, and the values will drop like a stone.
If you have $800-$1100 to burn....go to town.

Hi Pete,
I am new here and was hoping you'd be able to help me with a Ford autograph I'm considering.
See image attached. It is from HollywoodAutographs/CelebrityInk, a name I have always trusted.
It is most definitely a rushed auto as it was signed at the UK Prem of TFA, but wanted to get your opinion if you don't mind?
Thanks so much!

They are a trusted source for in-person autographs, but this one is not at all pretty on it's own merits....... not knowing where it came from, it would not likely pass any kind of authentication.
You'll know it's legit, but in the future it will be a tough piece to see increase in value......or hold value.
Save up some and buy a nicer piece, if you want my true opinion.

Thanks so much Pete, I really appreciate it.
Although I would never look to sell on in the future, maybe best to look for a sit down autograph.
When you say it's not pretty on its own merits, do you mean just because it's a premiere obtained piece or that the autograph itself is poor?

The signature is kind of stacked up on top of itself, Ford's normal graph has a Harrison side sometimes it looks like HAM then it swoops into the FORD.
Having the Hand F so jammed up together there is no room for other letters.
....and that certainly happens in crowd situations, people pushing and bumping.

Hello all!!! Was wondering if I could get some input on this piece? Does the Harrison pass muster? The others look spot on.
Thanks so much!!
