Christopher Reeve Autograph: Is it Real?

 

Hi, Gang,

Does anyone here have experience/knowledge related to Christopher Reeves autographs? I'm wondering if this could be authentic.

Thanks,

Pete

That's what I thought, Brick. Just doesn’t look right.

I really would like to pick up a Reeves autograph, sometime, but my tolerance for potential forgeries is zero, or less, at this point.

Thanks,

Pete

I remember goldenageautographs.com had a couple good Christopher Reeve autographs as Superman not long ago. Both sold pretty quickly I think. They don't have their entire inventory up online though so who knows what they have.

I'd say steer clear of most random listings on eBay if your tolerance for forgeries is zero.

I have been burned in the past with entertainment autos, so I am, unfortunately, keenly aware of what you are saying. I was hoping to learn a bit from the well-rounded gang of experts on Autograph Live. Thanks guys for the great advice, sorry for the bother.

You're welcome. It's no bother. This autograph in particular is really pretty bad.

It's sad to see an ongoing auction like this and know that the person who buys it will think they are getting the real thing.

I've noticed this seller in recent days/weeks. They seem to sell crap exclusively. It's sold cheap. People should understand what they're buying and maybe why it is so cheap. Maybe that doesn't factor into our heads as humans when we see a deal.

We ran a cover story on Superman in October 2009. Yours looks like an amateur attempt to forge the stacked version of Christopher Reeve's autograph.

Here are a couple genuine ones:

Thanks, Steve.

The image I posted is from an eBay auction on right now.

If you look at his negative feedback someone wrote this(AKA tswee10305 Tim Sweeney look him up. Look for him to jump ship again BEWARE!) I know Sweeney was booted along time ago for selling fakes, should have know it would pop up something like this they always come back!
