Compared to this authentic piece, i see a similarity in the G in Guiness compared to the one I purchased from Star Shots......please leave feedback

I am actually very curious about both pieces.  What makes you say that the second piece posted is authentic?  I wouldn't rest everything on the "G" alone.

also the way the word alec connects to the loop on the G looks very similar.....i know he had numerous signature styles throughout his career. the second piece came from Rare and signed .com i know they made ebay's band list. But these guys were known for posting pics of legitimate signatures just to con someone into purchasing from their website. I had my friend look at it and he thinks that both pieces are legitimate. Then again i could be wrong. Star shots have a good track record from what i heard when i was living in Florida. I just wanted other opinions.

I would be shocked if either one of those was authentic.  Wrong pen type, much too heavy handed, no finesse and malformed.

In my opinion, these are terribly rendered forgeries. How is anyone thinking that these are close to known authentic examples?

Looks good to me. Just curious... who are the experts in SW graphs?

Good question Mr. Zipper.  Who is the expert in Star Wars autographs Jon and do they authenticate the more rare signatures as well?  I may want them to take a look at a Peter Cushing before I purchase it in the future.  We can all use an occasional quick opinion on a George Lucas autograph as well.

Jon's signature is definitely legitimate and is a great exemplar.
