Opinions by Eric $12 with a full Quality Assessment and the Opportunity to Ask Questions.

Hi All,

Announcing my little service. You get what you read above for $12 per siganture - my opinion with explanation when needed or desired, a full Quality Assessment and the opportunity to ask questions. Names include Vivien Leigh, Judy Garland, Tallaulah Bankhead, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Gloria Swanson, Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Audrey Meadows, Richard Burton, Darren McGavin, Simon Oakland, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Deforest Kelley and David Bowie. Having succesfully changed PSA's understanding of what is a genuine Gleason on the relevant Facts Page I decided this would be as good a time as any. I have also done work for auction houses in the last few years, cleaning out bad Gleason's etc.

Below is a real reponse from a bit ago. The collector commented he did not expect such a full analysis and was very pleased. If I can find a better deal for a like item I'll let you know.

"Hello,

Thank you.

Opinion:

These are authentic and typical fiber pen signatures dating to XXXX in my opinion.The notary stamp is worth what it's worth - every one of these 8x10's would be so stamped. The hand numbered limited edition is a very nice thing to have on an older SP.

Quality Assessment:

This is a very nice older set of autographs on what appears a well preserved b/w semi-matte finish 8x10 photographic print from a copy negative. The image is highly contrasted and lacking in grey tones and detail. The photo appears to be a lab photo in Extremely Fine to Near Mint condition. These photos would have been printed for this signing.

Signature placement and contrast are nearly perfect. Both signatures are not rushed and are very attractive examples for this period. No abrasion to the ink. All combine to make a nice presentation. I would prefer a photograph from the original negative but this is as issued and quite acceptable to most all (I am very picky). Having the character names is very desirable and they are typical as well. It is a limited and numbered edition which is a plus. It is not an overenlarged 16x20 or 11x14 which are often of poor quality - those are more recent money grabs to be avoided IMO. The price of $XXXX for this double signed SP is within the reasonable range for such a nice item. This would be an A item to me. A+ would be assigned if the photo was not a copy print. It is quite nice overall. Much better than average.

Do you have any questions for me?

Best wishes,

Eric Keith Longo

Eric, you do not owe anyone an explanation. Best of luck. I may even ask for your services after I frame my Honeymooners autographs. I would love to have a full Quality Assessment from you for my records. I commissioned an artist to do a drawing for me that I will frame along with the four autographs. I will keep you posted.

Eric is currently looking at a piece with me, and he really does go out of his way to look at every aspect of the autograph.

If someone on this forum Is looking for an opinion before they spend big $$$, I'd personally recommend Eric. In my experience, he has gone beyond the expectations that you'd encounter with a PSA or Beckett service.

Best of luck!

Dan

have to pre-pay, Eric. That's what most of the others demand.

Yes. It seems so. "Demand" sounds...I only ask for good scans to work with. And I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have utlized my service. I really enjoy providing it. Writing the Quality Assessment is very exciting to me, and I like the one-on-one interaction and questions too.

Cant just ban services. It takes 2 minutes to make another account. If someone takes advantage of you, you're leaving a door open for them to do it again. Pre pay is the only way. There is more than enough info on this forum for people to check you out if they were recommended to you but have no idea how you work.. I wouldnt even question pre paying if I needed your help
