NO, it is not authentic, sorry.

People overshot with their responses, all those pesky "why's" and logic? Oh well.

Well, the very first response you got was "No way" but that didn't seem to flip your switch. I had this idea you might want to discuss the why and so on.

LOL not even creative. The menu was more impressive. Just to be clear - all parties in this thread questioned this signature, starting with you. You had the opportunity to discuss the signature in some detail, but you don't care to or are not able to. This is why you buy from Antiquities. Bye now.

And others have nothing to say. And some folks know when to listen. Others don't. And some folks believe...oh. Wait. That's Poltergeist.

I think creativity is the least of his concerns when it comes to writing.

I was fed up with this thread hours ago, but, Chris, the last thing you should be doing is name calling. You asked for advice and opinions, and that's what you got. Good ones. You insist on investigating a shady, oddly underpriced deal coming with the stamp of approval of not one but three of the most dubious names in the hobby. These are three entities who've built lucrative businesses based on scamming novice customers with smoke and mirror tactics to sell forgeries. That should absolutely be at the forefront of this topic, yet you've chosen to be dismissive. Quite honestly, members here have probably exhibited more patience than I would have expected.

Chris,

When I gave you my opinion on the Monroe, I hadn't even read where the autograph came from and who authenticated it. Now I see it's from Antiquities, and authenticated by GFA and AAU.

I'm not surprised.
