Authenticity is Everything
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.

I'd appreciate your opinions on these three, however I'm having trouble adding them all at once, so here's the first...

First things first.....making the images large and losing the clarity isn't ever going to help.
The first and the third are really bad samples of his rushed in-person signatures. Second one is too blurred to tell.
In any case none are quality autographs.

Thanks Pete, sorry about the quality of the photos though, I can only share what's available, but in the future I'll only upload the whole image ;)
They're all from the same seller so I think it would be safe to assume the second one is ok too?

Ok, here's a full image of number two (an 8x10), which is my all time fav pose from Harrison Ford as Indy. Considering this doesn't cost my first born, and this being my first one, I think it would be a good place to start? How would you rate it on a 1-10, as far as street graphs go? (It seems to have decent placement and visibility?) Do you think it would be an easy cert down the road by either Beckett or PSA? Thanks again!

No I don't see it as anything that should be certified at all.
The fact that the provided scan is as small as it is, is hiding that it's not at all something anyone would or should want, and nothing that a reputable company should ever sticker.
I can't even identify if it is real, how can I put it on a scale of 1 - 10?

Ok, I was able to get a high res pic from the seller. Just wondering if this helps change your mind about it or it's certification potential?
Thanks again! - Attachments: No photo uploads here

I really don't know how to answer you. I have seen so many variations of Ford's signature thru the years, and absolutely none of them match that. I don't see how any reputable company would ever authenticate it.
On a scale of 1-10 it's under a 1. There is nothing at all familiar with that F and Harrison Ford's actual signing of his F.
From the form and the shape of the first part, and the ORD (before the slash was scratched thru it) it is very believable that it is an in-person signature, and I would go so far as to say it likely is.
No Certification company should ever sticker it.
No collector in their right mind would ever want it.
The image is probably the one that I hate the most because there is more of that shot out there than any other. In the 80's an 90's Ford would skip over anyone in a crowd holding Star Wars images, and the in-person collectors of that time frame always had that POS image as a backup.
20-25 years ago that was all you could get and most long time collectors are just as sick of it as I am.
Let's be honest TOD barely beats KOTCS as an Indy movie. That would be the last possible image I would ever want Ford on, let alone a really crappy Ford.

You can always count on a wonderful, exegetical sermon preached by Pastor Pete on Sundays. To say that he is a text painter who knows how to phrase things so elequantly would be putting it mildly.
Next weeks sermon series...."Why your Ford sucks". An oldy but a goody! Lol -
