Authenticity Opinions Please: Selling My Autographs (Update)

Good Evening, 

I decided to upload the images this evening as I had some time. Thanks again for your support. I have added the images and historical info for each image. 

In due course, I will add images of which I believe authentic. 

Opinions on authenticity would be greatly appreciated.

Arnold Schwarzenegger 

Bought from a shop in Kent, UK. I do not believe this authentic and the chances of redeeming my money are remote. 

DeForest Kelley

This was bought from a company called Autographs Plus, several years since. 

Michael Jackson

Bought from a company called Sign Here Autographs, several years back.

Bought from Fraser's Autographs, a few years ago.

Terrier,

Compare this personalized Rowling signed book to Robin's. It's signed in pen, not marker, but it flows similarly to me, and has the same stroke lightness in the J to K transition:

sorry Steve, but I disagree. I have studied several of these signatures, and the authentic ones are smooth and flow nicely.  the one in question has angles, and looks slow to me.

Thx Terrier,

At least I will be able to get my money back on this one which is very good news - that is possibly twice I have been done on Rowling's signature.

Thx,
Robin

Thanks terrier8HOF, 

Much appreciated. I will just keep this on the list with autographs with the red flag and hopefully get my money back.

Thx

Robin

Robin,

I'd get several opinions on all of these. That way the info you get will be as dependable as possible.

Thx Steve and Terrier - I hope to get quite a bit of consensus on the above memorabilia. Cheers, Robin.

A lot them look bad (Jackson has to be THE worst) and the ones that look "alright" are tough signers and easier to forge.

The only that really appears to be real is the Peter Falk and I'm not totally sold on the personalization. It kind of looks like the handwriting of a secretary that did Danny DeVito and a number of California celebrity P.O. Box autographs in the early 2000s.

Thank you for your honest assessment Jason - its nice to know there are people like you around. I do feel bad about this as I bought these autographs in good faith from reputable dealers, so should it be the majority are not real, the good news I will be able to get my money back but it makes it now that much more difficult to buy autographs from dealers.

I think the DeNiro is quite awful. I have never even seen this shape of signature attempted.

Pacino is always a crap shoot. This one could go either way.

The Radcliffe looks bad to me on the Harry Potter piece.

The start of Arnold looks ok but gets progressively worse.

Robert Saunders is a member on here so you can hit him up if you question his pieces.  

Ramis is probably good.

Further, I agree with Steve. Get many opinions before putting any of these in the trash heap.

I've seen Pacinos I know are good like that one, but the forgeries aren't much different...that's for sure.

Robin Williams is spot-on. I had some like that, as has Larry Grobel, from when he interviewed him.

Thanks Steve - yeah authenticating Al's could be difficult. 

I was hoping Robin Williams might be authentic.

Robin Williams is good. Matches the signatures I have from him.
