Amelia Earhart signature?
Hello all, and thank you for taking the time to look at this. There is currently a nicely framed display of an Amelia Earhart autograph on eBay, but it is not formally authenticated by someone that I have heard of before.

"I’ve never studied Nazi autographs so I’m not qualified to give an opinion. Bill Panagopulos from Alexander autographs is quite good at Nazi material. "
"I'll definitely do that, thank you. Is he someone that gives his opinion on authenticity, as people in this forum do? I have an ancillary concern that someone in the business of selling autographs who is knowledgeable about it being genuine,…"
"Chris -
What you say about them seeming to rely on their own reputation to claim authenticity is a good point. Their inventory looks amazing, though.
If you are considering this, I'd run it by someone who specializes in this kind of…"
"I completely agree, and I'm hoping for some confirmation about its authenticity, as well. It would greatly elevate my trust in the rest of this store's inventory. They sell relics and autographs from various points in history, despite…"

"Thank you; I knew the price was too good to be true. It's a shame that it has so much interest."
