STUDY: Jerry Lee Lewis - TTM real or not real

Steve asked me to start a new thread since some were having a lot of issues with regards to whether or not the through the mail autographs of Jerry Lee Lewis are real or not. I will post some examples of what we have been getting recently and some know in person examples. These TTM signatures are not cheap. You have to pay $50 for them to his box office box. The question is are they real or not. Roger has said that he has never seen Mr. Lewis sign this way and it looks to perfect - like a woman's signature.

Please post your thoughts here and examples.

thanks

Mark

Any updates on Jerry Lee TTM in 2017? And by that I mean sending in an item with the required fee of 100.00. I was curious because I heard he is pretty feeble these days.

Are there any more thoughts with regard to the authenticity of these signatures and inscriptions?

The Tracks one at the bottom is compelling evidence to me that JLL didn't sign or inscribe any of the other 3, since the all seem to be in the same hand.

He only signed and inscribed the bottom one on the left, plus the arrow.

Thanks for your thoughts. I agree that the top three all appear to be in the same hand.

It's the most compelling evidence I've seen that JLL's current handwriting is shaky.

I'm not sure when it was signed. Harrelson passed away in 2013. Here's something more recent.

What are the circumstances of the signing of that book in 2016?

It was purchased at the estate sale that was held at the Lewis Ranch that month.

The above book looks pretty spot on to the signature I received TTM back in Dec but to me, doesnt look much like the pre-signed books at Barnes & Noble a few years ago. Of all these JLL signatures thru the life of this and the other thread, I feel there are just too many variations to think they were all signed by the man. Common sense would be multiple hands signed some and signed some inscriptions as well. Even with all the variations of an Elvis signature thru the years, there is still some hints of sameness in authentic ones. I just dont see that in all these JLL signatures posted.

AGREED on the books signatures. Lets please don't go there. And agree as well...looks like other hands have written alot of the inscriptions.

...The difference is that PSA did not cert the suspect pick guards as part of a huge batch of consistently atypical examples. In onesies and twosies it is conceivable the suspect style could slip by. - Steve Zarelli
