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.

It's just one of the many pieces with multiple issues that have been discussed over and over again in the past year.
You don't have to see it more than once, to remember it forever.

I think it looks like the result if Harrison and Jerry Ford signatures had a kid.

My buddy got that poster from the first CA preorder. Naturally it was promptly returned for a refund. It has since popped up on eBay a few times, one time selling as cheap as $400.
Who needs DNA tracking when the signatures are so terrible you can't forget them?

I saw it in SWAU and the poor guy was so proud of getting all the hunters on it in Lexington. I thought it looked familiar. So.... to tell or not to tell.

That is just heartbreaking. But I think he really does need to know.

Agreed. Don't think he believes me.

I would before they put more money into it, tag me and I will if you don't want to.

Ok, I'm confused!? From what I've been reading on here, I thought that CA, OP, and CW were the the only trusted companies out there who did actual sit down signings with Ford, and others?
So why is this CA signed poster a fake then? I actually just checked on CA's website and they have a bunch of Ford 8x10s on 'Pre-order' for as low as $150??? Why so cheap? Does 'Pre-order' mean they have Ford lined up for a sit down signing? Maybe if Pete or others could check this out and see if these are legit? Thanks!

You pay the preorder fee of $150 and when the signing happens you get to pay the other $500+
CW and OPX are trusted.
CA does their signings thru CW , and then sells whatever they want with no way to track the signing back to the actual sitdown.

Good point. I don't think he believes me and he got some really nice other pieces. Not sure I can tag you but I'll try. He posted it last night and not far back.
