Jack Nicholson The Shining

Hi, considering bidding on a Jack Nicholson shining autograph

Seller says it was bought at a charity auction. It looks very close to Jacks autograph but I'm a novice and would love you guys opinions and expertise.

Thanks

T

It looks like it was bought at a charity auction. It's rare to find anything real at one.

In your opinion it's a fake then?

In my opinion it's not real.

Not authentic.

Whoever did it knew what they were doing- he normally has a skip in the last "l".

I am not understanding what you mean.  There is only one “l” in “Nicholson”.

Normally and unfortunately charity auctions are known for having bogus items, I wouldn’t mention that again if you try to have it authenticed because as soon as you do the  authenticator will probably dismiss your item far faster then usual, not saying the item your posting is fake cause I honestly have no idea just stating facts as I hold true, might want to try Beckett authentication they do a signature review for $10 and usually get back to you in less then a day or up to two days

PSA Autograph Facts has examples that look real to me:

The OP appears a not very brilliant simulation missing a few key moves, IMO. Charity Auction source  - if it looked good to me I'd say so.

Here is 1975/76 Nicholson for comparison (albeit a bit earlier):

The location of the “N” is very telling.
