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.

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

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

Hi,

Sorry for some reason Anthony Hopkins was added under Bruce Willis. Here is Bruce Willis. It was obtained from Fraser's a few years back.

The Hamill/Fisher, Harry Potter Cast and Harrison Ford autographs are not authentic. I don't really know the rest too well.

Hi Mike T,

Thx for the feedback. I had a good idea they weren't authentic but just needed a second opinion - many thanks for your help. Sadly, getting refunds on these three will be tough as they were brought from random shops and the companies probably since are unlikely to exist but I will do my utmost to try and do something, even if ultimately it ends in failure.

Cheers,

Robin :)

Hi Mike

Many Thanks. Its as I much suspected. The only downside is getting a refund will prove very tough as the shops I bought these from were very random and the chances of them being in operation, especially in light of them selling fakes is remote if people got wind of this. A costly lesson learnt there but I was in the beginning stage of collecting back then.

Cheers

Robin

The Star Trek fab 4 is no good.

Hi Ian

Many Thanks for that, another one to strike off the list. Its a shame as I had a feeling this one could be good but always had a nagging doubt.

Shows that the ability to put faith in dealers is much more difficult than originally thought.

Thanks

Robin

Cheers

Hello Rick

Yes when I researched the signature, I could find just one solitary signature which even begun to look like this one that I had, which didn't fill me with a lot of confidence....

As for Depp, well, I guess its another attempt at a reasonably attempted forgery, perhaps.

Anyways, if you find any others which you think are iffy, please let me know. At least that's another couple I can strike off my list now.

Thanks

Robin
