Thanks to all the wonderful research from Eric in this forum I think I finally found a couple of authentic Gleason autographs. I was hoping he and anyone else who would care to opine could offer their opinions I would really appreciate it.
The TWA playing card is now on offer somewhere as genuine I'm told and by a good dealer too it seems. I just don't understand it. This and the bogus manual were ultimately proven to be from the same source as I predicted. The card sold for only $114 on eBay, sold by a seller with a $76 Brando, Tom Petty, Jackson, and so on for absurd prices. :(
These are very poor forgeries and certainly look nothing like his 60's or 70's signatures. But then 1/2 the PSA/DNA exemplars are secretarials or very dumb forgeries.
