Hi Greg I honestly cannot tell.  The To and From look fine but I have concerns about the P.  Do you know one way or the other?  I would love to know.  I am particularity interested in his later in life signature, the Vegas days.  I also would like an opinion on this dame that he was going with at the time of his death.  She claims that he gave her a ring and from what i am told she has tried to sell it several time throughout the years.  PS  You should write a signature study of E.P for this forum.

Greg,

 

For us people out here who are totally confused can you supply a dot point summary of what the pros and cons [(pluses and minuses) to have and not to have] of the Elvis signature in one block - Yep just like Gleason

 

C'mon mate - you can do it!!!!!

I like Greg's content Steve.  He is what this great industry needs more of.  For me personally, I am scared to death of Elvis Presley.  If I cannot grab a personal American Express card or a signed contract from the KING then I have no business buying a cut signature that might or might not turn up to be false.

What I'm concerned about is that I feel Greg is not being straight. Greg was given a number of those suspected new forgeries by RRAuction, which discovered them with the help of Roger Epperson and Rich Consola. Then he goes out and accuses these sources (in a general way) of essentially conspiring to let more forgeries pass as genuine so they can all make more money.

That's what I'm most disturbed about, by far.

My other a big concern, is that he's making statements or implying authenticity or inauthenticity without personally being well-versed on Elvis. Elvis is one of the hardest celebs to authenticate, because he was so inconsistent...and so valuable that forgers try extremely hard to get him right, and do it often.

Another concern is that he's nowhere near as clear as he needs to be in his posts, so readers are left not sure what he means, and may draw incorrect conclusions.

I wish I hadn't used the term fool, but Greg is acting recklessly for someone who cares about collectors and the autograph hobby.

WOW! Being gone to the races for a week or two does not make it easy to keep up with Greg LOL!  I will have to re-read this info MANY times.  It's much deeper than I first thought. There is a LOT of good info here by everyone.

 

Scary info but good.
