<p>It's problematic when authenticity becomes more based on the seller than the actual autograph itself. This is not a bad rap about a seller's honesty or integrity. It's just the way it is in this hobby.</p>
<p>In person signatures can vary greatly depending on the circumstances when and where the autograph is obtained.</p>

<p>I agree with you Ian, he helped me countless times with questions I've asked on authenticity on certain items I've asked about. Saved me a lot of money and I've gotten nice pieces because of that, that I can trust. I've gotten better at learning the graphs I know now because of him. </p>

<p>Just stumbled over this old thread while looking for something else.</p>
<p>Have to say that in my personal experience, the Star Wars collecting community would be a far less interesting place without both Pete and K9.</p>
<p>Pete has helped me several times and I have bought from K9 many times.</p>
<p>There are no 2 people involved in autograph collecting that I trust more.</p>

<p>You make a great point about the trustworthiness of an in-person autograph dealer being in the business more as a hobby and less as a primary source of income.</p>

<p>The Lucas I would pass on as well, I'll have to go look at the Kersh, but the Oz I actually really like.....perfect sample of his in person, crowd signature and the flow is perfect k to O. </p>

<p>One last thing. The Irvin Kershner autograph that I referred to above is the autograph on the color photo. In spite of the smudge, I actually like the autograph on the black and white photo better. I also like most of the Frank Oz autographs, but I would definitely pass on the autographed photo of Yoda holding the lightsaber. There are too many nicer Frank Oz autographs to choose from in the seller's inventory.</p>

<p>I agree Pete. You obviously trust this seller, and that speaks volumes. I have my own guy in New York City who I purchase from. I would still not purchase a sloppy autograph from him. As a matter of fact, I have passed on a J. J. Abrams autograph recently because I would rather wait for one that appears to be more typical. I would be happy to send you an image of it if you are interested in seeing it.</p>
