Hi Eric, this one is from eBay, it has quite a hefty price tag

Id agree the signature seems to rushed to be a secretarial Add that to it being on a 11x14 and Id be extremely happy to have it in my collection

Do you think everything in this thread secretarial or just 2? Can you post what you consider authentic vintage Eddy? Thank you. :-)

Yes, those 40s Naval Aid Hollywood Autograph Club cards like this one above seem to usually have been secretarial and are easy to spot as such if you are familiar with subjects. Here's another secretarial from them:

Eddy, can you please post what you believe to be an authentic vintage early 40's Grant?

Yep...I'd advise taking a pass on that portrait you posted, Minnie.

Also, always be diligent even with the larger size on these classic Hollywood portraits. I once had a beauty of an 11" x 14" Errol Flynn which proved to be secretarial (ugh!).
