Sylvester Stallone - opinions please!

Could this be a real Stallone? His full signature is pretty easy to authenticate, but these shorter (rushed?) ones can be tricky. What do you guys think?

Calm down, mate :) I'm just piecing together a lot of small bits of information gathered in many different discussions over the months. For example, PPC has stickers on absolutely everything, which has cause some eyebrow raising on this forum in the past. And somebody mentioned an old PSA/DNA employee now working for a dealer where everything in the inventory has a sticker. And I've sent a scan of a PSA/DNA authenticated Harrison Ford to the Ford expert at Rebelscum, and he said it was a forgery (even I thought it looked fishy, that's how bad it was).

So in conclusion, all I'm saying is I don't personally unconditionally believe in the allmighty sticker, but from the point of view that I might want to re-sell a piece in the future, it does help :)

In the case of the last picture I posted, I was about 65% sure it was authentic, the example you posted made me 85% sure and the sticker helped the piece go to 100, so I bought it :)

Cheers!

Congrats! You got the PSA one right?

Yup! And it actually ended up being a bit cheaper than the first one. Maybe because the USD to SEK exchange is more favorable at the moment, rather than GBP to SEK.

I'm glad you got the one you did. I'm really starting to think that the first signature shown is a forgery.

That sucks...I looked around and have seen a few that were similar. Check tihs one out. It is PSA/DNA but it looks about the same. And here's a clearer shot of sly's full signature on that piece I was about to buy.

Let me pass it on to a friend who can help. The first scan looked like they stopped and started some. I'll check

Thanks so much! I definitely don't want to drop this kind of coin unless it's legit. The hard part is that the Carl Weathers signature is real because there's a video of him signing it.

John. My apologies. He said both signatures looked good. He deals a lot with ASI who does tons of Stallones signatures. Glad to know he could confirm.

Thanks Bradford---really appreciate it. It's a dangerous hobby we have with so many unscrupulous people passing off fakes. Best Wishes and I'll post a full picture after acquisition.
