Authenticity is Everything
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

The one from the Signature Library doesn’t really look like yours either, but I thought they were reputable. There’s a picture of the collector with JLL and it’s claimed that he’s holding this very album in the pic. You can’t see which album it is though.

that's a tough one, its hard to see the entire signature.

We are supposed to believe that this JLL was obtained "in person"? The neatest JLL signature anyone has ever seen with each and every letter carefully formed and spaced out? And a dedication and inscription to boot? C'mon... this is NOT exemplar file material and should be disregarded.

Xavier seems to have a good rep as an IP collector and is a RACC Trusted Seller.

That may be, but the signature is totally unlike any JLL we all agree is likely authentic. Find one verified example that is that neat, carefully applied and has no right slant. He can barely sign legibly sitting in his living room, yet he cranks out super neat examples with extra inscriptions for in-person encounters?
I'm skeptical. :-)

What do you think of this one? It’s from his eBay store the_official_jerrylee.

I'm not going to play this game. This is the same thing you did with the books. You find outlier examples that have partial similarity and then it's a mix and match... 'what about the J on this one?" and "what about the L on this one?" You don't build a case for authenticity based on a patchwork of oddball atypical examples.
The album in question is atypical at best. And no one can explain how he can't sign legibly sitting on the sofa, yet cranks out the neatest signature ever at a chance in-person encounter. We have dozens of exemplars in this thread and not one is like the questioned example.
Maybe it is a one in a thousand variant that is legit... I don't know the seller and don't want to impugn him. Or maybe someone used the example off the JLL website as a template. In any case, I would not use it as a verified exemplar.

I’m posting full signatures, with source info, that I feel are relevant with regard to signatures that are being questioned. I don’t see that as playing games.
If you feel that JLL isn’t capable of signing a legible signature, you could always ask Roger if he believes that the neatly signed “Mean Old Man” CD inserts from Best Buy are authentic.

If I saw this one on ebay I would not bid on it.

I am sure his reputation is sound, but I cannot get past the signature itself. It just doesn't pass the authenticity test in my opinion. At best, I think it should be disregarded as an outlier.
