I don’t think this is real.

Atypical.  If PSA authenticated it, I would like to see images of the COA and sticker.

Thanks, Devon.  I do not like the flow of it. They may have something in their database that indicates otherwise.

I would say that’s a strange place to sign an autograph when there’s plenty of space in lighter areas of the photo.  The majority of the photo is light, yet Ford chose to sign with a dark pen on a dark strip of the photo when just above it there’s lots of room so the autograph would stand out?  Sure sometimes celebrities do that, but you know who else is notorious for doing that?  Forgers!!  That would be a red flag for me, and coupled with its atypical nature, this should have been failed by PSA.  It makes me wonder if they didn’t pass this for a big client.

The authentication fee for Harry is $50. Has it ever been less than that?

It’s not that the fee isn’t really large; it’s just that once the big client gets this passed as a result of perhaps a cozy relationship with PSA, that client will have the chance to reap a large profit from the sale of this item.

James, I was referring to the LOA vs. COA issue. The item associated with the cert # in question was authenticated in 2009. If the fee was $50 at that time, we would know that the COA is fake. That’s assuming that at that time PSA issued LOAs for items with an authentication fee of at least $50.

Ok, I see what you’re saying.  That’s a good point.  Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer to that.
