This is one of the pieces that I can tell you between you and me, is real, but if I was working at one of the Authentication companies I wouldn't be able to pass it.

I have talked to some of the people authenticating Ford autographs and I have shared my opinions on what should and shouldn't be authenticated.

Harrison Ford autographs should look like standard Harrison Ford autographs before they get the stickers of approval. This sample was very likely signed in-person, in the streets and is a bit of a mess. Recognizing his style and handwriting is what I do, but putting an authentic label on a piece officially, the piece should be recognized by more than just someone who has wasted 30 years looking at this man's signatures.    

So, yes it is real if you want to feel all warm and fuzzy knowing you have a the real thing, but it certainly isn't something that should be certified for a quick and easy sale down the road.

Thanks a lot for your feedback.  I found out too late, by majority opinion, that my other Temple of Doom, Ford + cast signed autograph were, in all likelihood, fakes.   I'm glad this one seems authentic....  By the way this Ford autograph has similarities with PSA/DNA certified AC04921 , signed more recently at a NYC hotel.

It doesn't seem authentic, it is real.....just not his standard autograph.
