Steve McQueen

Haven’t see too much here in the Steve McQueen specific section lately, but I thought I’d give it a go after getting no hits over in ‘Is It Real’ haha

So, just wondering what you think of this Steve McQueen signed album page from 1960? I see some similarities in the ‘teve’ (especially the higher ‘e’ at the end) and ‘ueen’, but the ‘M’ is missing the usual long downstroke at the beginning. Thoughts?

Date the sigs.That is a later Garland near 1960. What about the others?

Thanks Eric for the comparisons! I’m no expert on either the Wynter or Garland, but I can see how at first you thought it was genuine….except for the ‘y’ like you said, it looks very good.

I’ve even come across a genuine very messy in person Reagan that looks nothing like his presidential version, but you might say looks like the one in the OP?

And the OP:

No, very different! One starts from the right and one starts from the left. Compare the "R;s".Look how much smaller the second "R" is and how shaky the second "R" is in the OP. Some characters have different slants. As for the Judy, compare the dead straight baseline of the last name of one I posted with the OP.

Also Eric, I’m not quite sure the point you’re trying to make on the condition of the pages, ie. toning, staining, etc….wouldn’t these comments actually help in making this a vintage album from 1960? Please elaborate, thanks ;)

You put it right - the album is 1960. That ballpoint does not appear oxidated/62 years old. I'd have to examine the book to see if it makes sense (the toning). Some appear as overzealous tea staining.
