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.
You can take that opinion to the bank.....twice.
I don't know who the seller is, but he is 100% right about buying from people that know about authenticity. The part where he went wrong is thinking that he knows authentic Fords.
There are people right here on this site, that are among the worlds leading authorities on certain autographs. None of them claim to know every autograph in every field, and if they do (make those claims) they are delusional.
If you want a Mantle graph, a Neil Armstrong graph, a Michael Jackson graph or a Queen group signed piece, you would be a fool not to ask the guys here.
At some point, I want to add a group signed It's A Kind Of Magic album to my own collection. I have waited a very long time, trying to study the ins and outs of the 4 signatures, yet I would still go to the people here who have proven time and again, that they know these autographs far better than I ever could. It's just common sense.
I hate to disappoint you guys, but the people who understand specific autographs beyond the normal capabilities of the average collector, those numbers grow every day. The people who have done their homework are the guys that are gonna snap up the deals.
You can possibly buy a Mantle from Chris, or an Armstrong from Steve, hell you can even buy Fords, Star Wars and any number of celebrities that I specialize in....right from me, but you are gonna pay for those pieces as well as the warm fuzzy, sleep well at night feeling of knowing you have the real thing in your collection. Is knowing worth it to you? Maybe you would prefer stickers?
In second grade my teacher would give out stickers for good behavior, that's the last time a sticker made me feel all warm and fuzzy. No, I didn't get many, my sarcasm saw to that, but at 7 years old a sticker was a big deal when and if I got any.
Spend the time to know without a shadow of doubt that you are buying the right piece, or find the person who has spent that time already.
Well, according to the terms his window for recourse is long closed. The RR of 2001 is...not the RR of 2017. Much tighter now.
