In my humble opinion, not real.

Thank you, David.  As I noted, this looked off to me for several reasons but I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and opinions.  I purchased these items more than twenty years ago and wish this forum existed back then.  However, I am sure my children will appreciate knowing what they have when items are passed on to them.  I appreciate you.

beardog1, I did check my exemplar library and my in person library against your autographs. The chances that all 3 autographs we're signed in person at the same angle…..not….I am in the process of 3rd party authenticating my 40+ year old collection in case I am not around for my daughter. I also have her 3rd party autographs herself for future sales in case I am not around, so she knows what to do.. Educate your family, just in case.

Hi again, David.  Thank you for the additional information and direction as I pursue a similar path.  This forum has been tremendous to help me filter out the bad from the good.  I also like your idea of pursuing TPAs and continuing to document and share with the family so they can make informed decisions if I am not around. 

I heard someone define "experience" as "that which is acquired just AFTER it is needed".  I wish I had access to this forum twenty year ago but I appreciate being able to learn from members on this forum everyday.  Thank you for your help.

beardog1, I feel your pain, 20 - 40 years ago  the net would have been handy while making split second decisions amongst 30 buyers pawing threw hundred's if not thousand's of album pages and 3x5 , 4x6 cards……not to mention signed photos at the LA shows.

I’m a John Ritter collector... and in my experienced opinion your Ritter is not authentic.

Thank you Doctor Loomis.  I am very much an amateur collector with a very general collection.  As an amateur, I felt this was likely not authentic.  However, I admire members on this forum who have developed expertise in specific areas or specific individuals and truly value their opinions.  Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you as always Dan.  Although I prefer good news, it helps me let go and move on when I get definitive opinions on items that are not authentic.
