Harrison Ford

Hey Guys!

I'm new here but really appreciate this site. Would you mind giving me your thoughts on the authenticity of this Harrison Ford signed photo? Thanks!

The H looks great then it all falls apart. the giant loop in the F and the double sized D, along with the huge space between the end of the F and the start of the ORD, the straight bar crossing of the top of the F and the underline below.

None of this is the way Harrison Ford signs. If he even forms a full D, it tends to be the smallest letter in his signature.

There is no Flow from first name to last, and even less flow from F to ORD.

I saw this when you posted on FB, I commented on it and told you to ask Pete because I didn't like it, but my comment was removed.. did you delete it and then take my advice? Sorry you got burned, I tried to help.

I cant give a diagnosis like Pete with him but it looks slowly drawn.

Does this change at all if this is a sit down signing? I know that a lot of the Fords we see are signed while he is walking in or out of a public appearance. Things would be nicer and neater if it was an official sit down signing as is the case with this one.

I know that @MMOA-Autographs has more info on which signing it was.

I would trust Pete's opinion. He knows Ford's signature better than anyone else I know. Ford is a big investment unless you get really fortunate, so I would be as careful as possible before you purchase one.

I would find it highly questionable that Ford would make all those changes to his own autograph for any signing.

There are only 4 or 5 companies that have any sort of signing with Ford and the majority of them have been handled by Derek Maki of Coolwaters.

There have been storytellers claiming to have signings with Mr. Ford, most notably the biggest Ford forger we have seen in decades.

Realford signings include...

The Coolwaters signings, the 2 Celebrity Authentics signings, the signing(s) for Topps cards, Master Replicas and a number of signings for Official Pix.

Each of these signings either have specific pieces signed (like plaques to go with Props) or Trading cards,everything else has had proper COA's issued and numbered holograms or stickers.

This isn't a plaque or a trading card, I don't see a numbered hologram.

Let's be realistic here, who in their right mind would pay the fees involved for a Ford signing and get a "42" Branch Rickey shot done?

Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Rick Deckard, Jack Ryan, John Book, Dr.Kimble, ok I can see it.

I can even see the logic behind Cowboys & Aliens because CA had Daniel Craig as well.

but Branch Rickey? Really?

MMOA has more info ....... I would love to hear who had this signing and what other great investment items they got signed?

Just an update... Tom Aldridge... AKA MMOA has decided to block me and stop communicating with me after he agreed to send back my photos and after I returned his "Harrison Ford" signed photo. This guy is a fraud and I would avoid at ALL costs!
