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.

Can I please have an opinion on the attached signed Harrison Ford? Worth the purchase?

Attachments: No photo uploads here

It's less crunched up but still a rushed so-so sample.

Thanks Pete. Would you consider this a better example and worth the purchase?

Attachments: No photo uploads here

Not a fantastic sample, but better than the stuff you have looked at so far. There isn't any rush really .....take your time, and look at as many samples as you can.

Thanks for all your help Pete. Do you think this one is a better representation?

It is just like the SW Ford above, signature-wise.

You should decide what it is exactly that you want, Han, Indy or another character, then what film, color or B&W, then what size.

Once you have made that decision, I will be happy to show you what you should be going after.  

Matt,

What price range are you tying to buy a Ford in? You rarely find bargains that are clearly genuine and don’t have problems.

$500 to 800 US on a nice Ford. However a lot of the sellers I have concerns about and I have only found one in particular that I feel comfortable with buying from.

Apologies if this form gets bombarded in the next few days with Ford pictures. I value your opinions.

Hi Matt,

Of the last 2 you posted, the most recent has somewhat better contrast I think; the signature on the Han Solo image is a tad obscured by the image behind it (darks). Pete expresses wisdom - take your time to find just what you are looking for. 

Thanks guys - And this is why I ask. Thank you all very much for your help.

Hi Matt, if I may, the link below is to a thread I have written about qualities. I use the information there to help me make decisions such as the one you are facing. Maybe it could help you too? It is meant to be tailored to the user by the user:
