Hi guys I keep reading your blogs but I still can't tell the difference.

If I could get your opinion on this mantle it would be great.

Thanks

Ok guys here is a photo of the auto with the flash, and from behind which I think shows up glare on the front and pressure points on the back at the end of the mickey and dot before 7

Does this show conclusively if this is legit or copy.

Thanks for all your help.

Still hard to tell, but if you take the photo and put in under a light and hold it at a certain angle. you`ll be able to see the autograph on top of the photo. It will shine differently then the photo. Its blue sharpie so it will shine almost a purplish color at the right angle. I hope this helps.

This is also the best way to check if your autograph photo is a print or if it is signed.

Erich is right, this aspect of autographs is very, very difficult to see in a photo.

Get a flash light and shine it directly on the autograph, then move the photo around at different angles. You should see a metallic glare, it does almost seem purple-ish. You'll know when you see it.
