Authenticity is Everything
MARILYN MONROE
I bought this Marilyn Monroe Productions Bank Check Clipping recently, in all my years of staring at Marilyn signatures, this one looks consistent with other lazy signed bank checks. However.. beckett gave me a quick "unlikely to pass Full Authentication " within an hour of my submission. My heart and gut are telling me they are wrong! Please give me your opinions. The veryast photo is a signature sold by Heritage Auctions, that I feel is consistent with mine.

Atypical IMO and yes, MM had a light hand.

I'm sorry to say I agree with Beckett.
The very last one you say it is comparable to is also faked IMO. It's actually a worse fake. Not even faked by the same person. Heritage Auctions should be ashamed of themselves.
Both look like whoever wrote them took a break and a breath before doing the Monroe. See how the writing style changes between the two words? different speeds, strange spacing of the letters, non of MM's actual malformed instances. It's a lot to get right, written quickly and 80% of the necessary hallmarks are not executed in either instance. Bad loops on both examples.
Shame all the MM Production cheques were sold on Ebay a few years back. There's pretty much only one purpose for people buying them. . . .
I recommend reading my blog - seriously, when I feel my eye for her signature needs "tuning up", I read it myself http://marilynmonroeautographs.blogspot.com
The timeline helps you place her signature in a particular year too. None of these signatures belong in any particular era.

Thanks, I was wondering about that "1956"...

How interesting, the last heritage signature is actually certified by PSA/ DNA, also I noticed the comment saying there's to much ink, however in person (I received the physical piece today) and it's alot lighter in person.

I would take Pauline's considerable opinion over PSA's.

Will do!

You should try and get your money back. And if you want to buy a Marilyn Monroe get it from Beckett, they are one of the few reliable auction houses.

I actually took it out of the acrylic, its upsetting because it's clear as day it's fake.. I can actually see Milton Greenes signature erased underneath it. An the writing on the top matches his.

Are these cheques fakes or secretarials?

This check is real, however that Marilyn auto is fake, it was originally signed by Milton Greene and erased. so sad all in all that his signature was destroyed
