Clint Eastwood and a reliable Source.

Hello all.

I've joined this site looking for some advice and help. I've been looking for a nice Clint Eastwood autograph to hang in my basement when its complete. I was in Vegas not to long ago and came across the autograph store in the planet hollywood mall. In there was 2-3 nice Clint pieces I was interested in. I was assured by the clerk that everything was double authenticated and they used the likes of drew max and others.  But not knowing anything about the store or sources I decided to play it safe and think about it. 

Anyway I came home and started searching the internet for clint eastwood stuff and its a fairly common occurrence to see that 99% of the sites out there selling stuff have horrible reviews and are selling fakes. I really don't trust ebay because everyone and their cat and dog seems to have a psa / dna authenticated.

There are a few which seem decent like bbauthenticated and others. But I'm still leary.

Anyways does anyone have any experience with these 2 sites below (one is the vegas store and the other is their store on the east coast)

http://www.antiquitiesca.biz

http://www.antiquitieslv.com

I found only a few people complaining of fakes from them. I was inquiring about one of their posters sigend and got this reply

Dear ,
These were in-person signatures collected on site of his recent movie by Hollywood interviewer, Garry Lawrence.  There are photos of Clint Eastwood signing as they sat together for lunch.
Best regards,
Toby
Antiquities 702 792 2274

The red flag for me is I can't seem to find any reference to Garry Lawrence or any interview done.

Ok so I've narrowed a few I think are Good to go on Ebay after reading that case study.

This one looks good to go considering the shape of the C and D are. The signiture is a little more legiable than a lot of the stuff I've seen lately and fron what I read it seems to gotten pretty cramped. I don't like that he hasn't gotten it authenticated but he is guaranteeing it to pass and he does have a photo with clint (not that it means squat). His buy it now price is a little high but I figured I'll make an offer lower on the basis that I want to pay to have it authenticated.

I like this one as well. C and D which once again seem to be the easiest way to distinguish it from the secretarials seems to be consistent. PSA / DNA certified already and a classic shot as well. Unlike every other similar photo it dosn't have Eli Wallach's signature which imo makes it a lot more credible. Price is a bit more reasonable as well and in line with a lot of other Clint signatures.

This is a nice poster plus u get the bonus of bruce Dern. The Bruce one looks 100% from the few I can find and as for the clint. It looks like some of his later stuff signed.  Very mess and compact. You can see the very faint attempt of the "cigar loop" on the d and the C seems to start in the same place as many others. Also PSA DNA certified already. The one thing that bugs be about this guy is he has quiet a few piences of Clint stuff which is a bit of a red flag for me seeing that his stuff seems to be hard to come by. He told me he attends an anual event of Clint where he gets the autographs but wont share it of course :P. They're all certified though so who knows.

This is an in person consignment. I don't know what Certificate they come with doesn't look like any but this one looks pretty close to the 1987-88 sigs in the isitreal.com article. Once again though a little much for no COA I think. $600..

Whats people's opinions here

If it were me, I'd buy the 11x14 shot with Eli. I have to say, though, the lack of Eli sig wouldn't mean it's less or more authentic as there was a time where Eli was considered to be one of the best TTM signers around. Collectors easily could have gotten him TTM and then waited for Clint to sign them IP.
