Michael,<br />
I wasn't commenting on the autographs in this post. The Beatles aren't even close, and post-Beatles Lennons are too hard for me to judge, unless they're really bad like the one you uploaded below. I have been fascinated by and collected autographs since I was nine years old in 1964 and got Bobby Hull's autograph. It's very sad to me that such a charming and noble hobby has been poisoned by forgers. I do extensive research now before I buy anything, and even then I'm hesitant to buy no…

I have been fascinated by and collected autographs since I was nine years old in 1964 and got Bobby Hull's autograph. It's very sad to me that such a charming and noble hobby has been poisoned by forgers. I do extensive research now before I buy anything, and even then I'm hesitant to buy no matter how reputable the dealer. I often wonder what percentage of the time the best authenticators make mistakes. 10%? 20%? We really have no way of knowing for sure. Ben,

<p><strong>Ben,</strong></p>
<div><strong>I do understand and totally agree with you on this the conflict of interest. I have come to learn and see that the truly knowledgeable and professional autograph authenticators are able to deal with this issue.

It would be pretty rare to see one of the highly respected autograph authenticators selling forged material at this stage of the game.

<div><strong>In this case we are dealing with a known forgery and unlike many, I do not use in " my opinion". I have seen this Lennon signed album cover for over 15 years now, I have physically examined the autograph and so have a few others, I also know were this item came from and the story behind it. I have explained the many issues to the seller, Stephen Koschal who agreed at that time and was going to destroy it, but I guess he felt it was time to clean out his closets.</strong> </div> Mr Miyagi, I'm very late to t…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2014-10-13:3524372:Comment:6600182014-10-13T21:15:15.769ZBen Mhttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/BenMacks
Mr Miyagi, I'm very late to this game, but I just saw your post now. I'm a little uneasy with the fact that some of the most highly regarded authenticators are also dealers. These men may be as honest as they come, but when an item isn't yours, it's only natural to lean towards not authentic as opposed to an item they can profit from. I have had highly respected authenticators fail a Muhammed Ali and a Robert Plant that I have witnessed. I'm hopeful that someday a technology will be developed…

I have had highly respected authenticators fail a Muhammed Ali and a Robert Plant that I have witnessed. I'm hopeful that someday a technology will be developed that can determine authenticity with extreme accuracy. As it stands now, a 'false negative' can cost a collector thousands of dollars.

<p>The long loops of the G in George signature makes me think that may be a Neil Aspinall set. The very long top of the J in John in that full set pic is also typical Aspinall.</p>

<p>It always makes perfect sense to buy the item with no questions. The real problem comes up when a witnessed item is deemed "inauthentic." Who does the person with all the righteous indignation in the world go to?</p>

I like this post. I agree sometimes the experts make mistakes. Sometimes you have an authentic signature that gets rejected other times a fake has been accepted. Its hard ,say if you got an in person autograph and it looks pretty funky or different from their usual writing style this could very well be grounds for rejection. Even though it was a genuine example. The way I see it try not to buy questionable items. That being said you have a better chance of protecting your investment. If an…
I like this post. I agree sometimes the experts make mistakes. Sometimes you have an authentic signature that gets rejected other times a fake has been accepted. Its hard ,say if you got an in person autograph and it looks pretty funky or different from their usual writing style this could very well be grounds for rejection. Even though it was a genuine example. The way I see it try not to buy questionable items. That being said you have a better chance of protecting your investment. If an autograph is real but it looks like it has issues then when you go to sell it it is gonna scare some people away from it. Try to get one that says authentic no question asked!
