Vivien Leigh?

HI,

I just came across this Vivien Leigh that I'm thinking about bidding on. I remember "Waterloo Bridge." I thought it was great.

Anyway, I thought I might get some opinions before I made that potentially fatal leap on this one. Anyone out there have any thoughts about it?

Thanks,

Mike.

eBay is awash in forgery dealers. I pulled the Liz Taylor from my site. I sent a Taylor scan into Beckett for an online opinion. When the report comes in I'm going to contact this Lights-Camera-ActionUK fellow and try to get my money back. Either way, money back or not, I think a "phone call" is in order.

I passed on the Vivien Leigh. I just didn't have a good feeling about it or them him. The autographs seemed to be selling well under value. Plus, a dealer that can't provide a good clear high resolution scan or photo of the signature strikes me as suspicious. That was 2 strikes. Your opinion was strike 3. I can report him to eBay. First, I would get an online opinion report from Beckett to add credibility to my "assertion."

Thanks to everyone for sharing your knowledge with a relative newcomer. Please bear with me. I'm prone to make errors in judgment from time to time. But I'm trying to get it right.

I really love the movie stars from Hollywood's great movie classics. What would be a good book about authenticating autographs by the performers from Hollywood's Golden Era?
