John Garfield

Here’s one from a great actor who sadly died at a young age (39). While it has the general appearance of his signature, what’s throwing me off is the way the ‘d’ at the end is disconnected from the rest, which is atypical, and the connected flourish at the end, which again is atypical. My only thought is it is connected but the pen ran dry there, just like it appears to run dry try to connect the two parts of the ‘d’??

Greg, I have no problems with this semi rushed War Bonds/Hollywood Canteen autograph. If you had to sign hundreds if not thousands of autographs in a single day or two….what would your autograph look like. This one looks pretty good….he was on a lot of bond tours and signings at the Canteen. I would go for it at the minimum bid….If I were still buying.

Thanks David. What had me wondering about it was when I saw the obviously fake Sal Mineo from the same seller. When I see those thrown in the mix, it always raises red flags for me.

Greg, You need to be confident in your decision. Tell you what …check out the i leaning to the e in Garfield, now go and check any 3rd partied autograph and tell me what you see.
