Authenticity is Everything
Feb. 4: We're expanding and reorganizing our discussion forums. Excuse our dust.
Swayze and De Niro opinions.
I know you all know these newer signers. What are your thoughts on these two signed photos?

My gut would tell me to stay away but I'm not too hot on these but I know a little about 'em.

They look from what I know of both similar to the authentic signatures, but something is just raising alarm bells for me Joe - could be wrong but as I say, I am not an expert and I would not touch a graph that has been smudged like Patrick's has in this case - wherever I can, I try to go for a graph that is at least in reasonable nick because its not always the case where you can get a graph hot off the press since for people like myself, IP autographs are a virtual no go.

Thanks again, Robin. I think they have a decent chance of being authentic. Honestly, I am just feeling my way around newer autographs. It's so much different than the older ones. Hopefully, there will some more opinions and we all will have a clearer idea of where these two stack up.

Hey Joe
Definitely a chance and they somewhat resemble what I've seen of authentic signatures of these two, but one reason why I certainly wouldn't touch the Swayze is because its been smudged. I prefer my graphs as pristine as possible. I think there is a chance but I'm not 100% convinced but agreed mate, we'll see what others say too because I'm not an expert but I have come across said autographs before and I've been sold what I believe to be quite possibly a dud De Niro and this one looks more like it but I'm just not liking certain elements of the signature at the end and the Swayze auto, whilst there is a chance of it being genuine, just looks a bit ugly to me and the smudges would put me off right away - try and find some nicer ones is my advice, Joe.

Thanks. I always look for better ones. I tend to climb ladders. Additional note, I've found the best way to learn signatures is by holding them in your hand. The more I can see in person the better I get.

The truth is due to the expertise of a forger, you'll never truly know unless you see it signed in front of you or if you trust implicitly the person you buy from.

Hi Joe,
I'm not a member so I have other data - just recognized it as very close to yours.

Thanks, Eric. Indeed it is similar. Don't know anyone can effectively authenticate his signature. Here is a PSA one which has the same tendencies as the one above. Click on the picture here to see the full signature.

I have more concerns about the Swayze signature than the De Niro's. I've found a few examples of authenticated signatures which match similar to this dual line example but most of his signatures seem to be on a single level. Especially more rushed in-person examples.

I agree with you there Joe
