Thanks. ’I will check him out.  This jason2384soccer appears to be selling a vintage one from the 80s with the full signature but unfortunately the ink is so hard to see.   I keep trying to upload pics but it’s always telling me they have to be 7 mb

Overpriced, IMO. Try Pete.

Thanks. I sent Pete a friend request.  I very much like Jason2384soccer’s Harrison photo because it’s vintage 80s and is the full signature. That’s very rare. The only thing that really bothers me about it is that it’s so dark and it’s difficult to see where he wrote the “Harrison” part of his name against the background.  But it looks genuine vintage to me and it has the letter of authenticity from Steve grad at beckett.  My must haves as a collector are Harrison as Indiana Jones, Arnold Schwarzeneggar as Terminator, and jack Nicholson as the joker from 1989 Batman.  I just recently obtained an awesome Anthony Hopkins very clean signature approved by Beckett which I just dropped off at JSA today for additional authentication. I’m located in NJ where their office is.

Joe may i ask your opinion on eBay user jack-of-trade?  If you search his name and inventory you’ll see he also has a black and white full signature from temple of doom. I’d like to know your opinion on that one.

I firmly believe it's genuine with decent contrast. Definitely worth considering if it's within your budget. Especially since the seller is willing to negotiate.

It is. And I personally love the photo. I’m just wondering if maybe the signature looks too bright and “new” for a signature that’s supposed to be that old though. The black marker doesn’t look aged whatsoever.  Shouldn’t it be a little?  And there’s no underline like he usually draws.

It's fine, IMO.

What would you offer for a piece like that? I’m new to this so just learning how collectors evaluate this etc....they are asking for $950

I really don't feel comfortable giving you a price. It depends on what your budget is and your desire to own the piece.

I will suggest you offer less than what you are willing to pay and get a "feel" about the seller. See where it goes.

Finally, I would probably wait and see if Pete contacts you. He may have or know someone who has one as good or better. He knows more about Ford than I do.

Go slow and make the right choice at the right price for you.
