Not for me. Forgery.

Eric Keith Longo, How about this one. Also signed around 2000.

That looks better. These are modern to me - I collect only vintage. Below is my Nimoy - signed also in character on a photo from the pilot. Others will chime in I'm sure. I did meet him twice and he signed for me - that would be around 1996 or '97 but long sold.

How about this one, Eric? All signed on the street in L.A between 2000 and 2003. Not  sitting down at the many conventions he did.

I avoid atypical signatures. You got all these yourself? As I said, I am much more familiar with his vintage signature. He was on the street when he signed the Barrymore playbill for me. Christopher Plummer (Barrymore star and surprisingly short) and Walter Cronkite were also there and signed for me.

Eric, You should not dismiss, atypical signatures out of hand. Nimoy signed a lot on the street. This is one of my Plummer's. And one of my Cronkite's

If and when the time comes to sell I find atypical signatures a bother and they often don't bring full value from the discerning collector. On the other hand, I adore dedications and inscriptions - to the seasoned customer that is not a downside IMO.

Yes Eric, But if your exemplars included dedications and inscriptions they would aid in personally authenticating items you are studying, especially vintage, not that you would want them yourself. And yes I screwed up the other day about Dick Van Dyke. I checked out 3rd party for sale and sold instead of checking my own in person library. So besides Gleason and Heston, Van Dyke had secretaries who's items have been 3rd partied by the top 3.

They do. Perhaps I didn't say what I meant. I prefer dedications and inscriptions as they add another dimension to be enjoyed. Sometimes a time and place as well. See my Gloria Swanson.
