Harrison Ford Questionable Autographs

Some of you know me, and from what I understand, someone caught selling yet another bad Ford autograph has once again, decided to spout off at the mouth. Claims that I am a dealer and I only tell unsuspecting autograph buyers that their item is fake so that I can sell my own Harrison Fords. Again I am hearing claims that the likely supplier of the forgeries is the true expert on Harrison Ford autographs.

Side note the seller sent me a friend request message yesterday with the single question about if I knew a particular collector. In my world this says plenty, and likely tells me where the piece originated.

When I tell people that I track the sale of Harrison Ford autographs, I am not kidding around, I watch sales here, I watch sales on rebelscum and on ebay and other online auction sites.

Who signed them? Who is the forger? I am not going to play games and point fingers, nor will I even guess if the supplier is the forger, all I can do is put together where they came from.

I will give the people that have had these in their possession, that courtesy. They can come clean about where they got them as the "in-person" and "private signing" stories fall apart.

This is the same courtesy I tried to provide to Marc Moser, the last guy caught in a huge Ford Forgery mess. He decided to drag my name thru the mud for a few months as well, but by doing that he just shot himself in the foot. People will wake up sooner or later, and the truth does come out.

I present these images to you, again supplying the signatures and letting the people on this forum and others as judge, you decide the truth. You will also be the deciding factor if these autograph professionals keep their reputations or if they have earned brand new ones.

Every item below has been tracked to the most recent seller, and through his own admission the source of the autographs, I will also include items sold elsewhere by the supplier who admitted on these very pages to supplying some of these.

The pattern is pretty clear to me.

As for the recent claims about me being a dealer, out to only hurt other peoples supposedly reputable business.

Please keep in mind, that anyone that has purchased anything at all from me in the past 5 years has approached me. When they do I usually point them in other directions and offer to authenticate (for free) any item they ask about, from any other source.

Since we're all Ford fans here, forgive me for going a little off topic. I too sprung for a signed one-sheet from Cool Waters. It was expensive but I wanted a great Indy example and this poster has always been my favorite image from the series. I could conceivably get Freeman and Karen Allen on this in a controlled environment, but don't want the headache of sending it out into the streets for Spielberg, Lucas, and Williams so it might be better to just leave it as is. What do you guys think?

Also, is it wise to linen back a signed poster and if so, do you have any recommendations? I live in the NYC area but could mail it out to a reputable company.

I got the same one and I'm HIGHLY impressed. I'm leaving it Ford only. Mario Cuvera does the best restoration and backing I've ever seen. He's in Cali but I'll post his number when I get home for you. Mines on my way to him now!
Derek has some seriously awesome stuff right now!

I was a little apprehensive after seeing some previous Ford poster graphs but I think ours turned out great! The signatures are very big and legible.

Leave it as it is, or do actors only.

If you want to frame it you should linen back. I use Studio C in CA for all my stuff. Probably a $400-500 restoration.

I would be completely content leaving it as is but if I get the chance, I might go for just Freeman and Allen considering they're the most prominent actors of the movie. I feel like this poster especially has the potential for great graph placement.

I do want to frame it so I will definitely linen back, thanks for the advice. My biggest concern was how that would effect the signature but apparently it can be done without harming it which is a relief.

The 18 items in the original post (at the top of the thread) are all forgeries. Many real items have been added to the discussion since that post, and many items people believe to be real. If you have a specific item in mind, we are happy to answer.
