The Indy shot is not one I would want in my collection.

The magazine page has made it's rounds offered here and there for sale. While it is a nice older signature, it is still on a magazine page, which does not bode well for it's long term survival or it ability to gain value in the future.

Thank you Pete! So what would you value the magazine at? And is it legit?

The magazine page is real, value is another matter all together. If you like it and feel you are getting a good deal, you just have to make the call. Just know ahead of time a magazine page is not a photograph. A good photograph has a good long lifespan, while a magazine page is little more than the paper that newspapers are printed on.

Did Leaf really hack an old sign Ford photo to make a tacky collectible?!

It looks legit. If it is, that's how I thought about it too. They do it with a lot of vintage stuff!

It's not even the fact that they cut it up (which is infuriating enough) - it's just the way they matted it.

Most of the Leaf stuff I would believe are good but they could get caught up in a forgery once in awhile as they pick up stuff on the secondary market sometimes that is bad. All these card companies butcher bats,uniforms  and various other things to cut up and put on their cards. They've been doing this for years. This Ford Photo has been mentioned a bit about authenticity on facebook because some people like it and some don't ( the new Beckett company has signed off on it and another top Star Wars true Ford expert is not a fan). I wont go into it any further.

So some ford experts aren't a fan of the auto there?! And there's so many variations of it. I want to start to learn and evaluate what could or couldn't be. Like this one, JSA authenticated but I've heard they passed some forged Ford autos.

I really just want to add a solid ford auto to my collection bc he's my most sought after auto!

I would suggest you contact Pete Chuka directly. He is a collector of Ford and if he has any he's willing to part with, then you at least know it's real. Or you can purchase one directly from Celebrity Authentics. They do signings with Ford. Just be prepared to pay a little extra. They also have auctions monthly where you can save some cash. I'm sure they will be auctioning off a Ford soon.
