"Indeed. While not malicious, there was an autobiography by Audrey Meadows that bears a bookplate signature, and that is often sold on eBay as genuine. Usually at least one up at any given time."

Hi,I have been to the website of topix autograph and was wondering if anyone knows if the signatures that are sold on this site are all authentic? With some photos, videos are added where the photo…Continue

Hi,I have been collecting autographs for a while now. I do this mainly by buying CDs and LPs from famous artists with the signed art card.In the meantime I have noticed and read that many artists use…Continue

"Exactly! I looked up the book and indeed it seems to be signed by someone else. Actually, it is true for all signed items such as books and vinyl that you do not know for sure whether they are actually signed by the artist.
Why would one artist sign…"
"Autopenned/secretarial sigs in books are not out of the realm of possibility; look at what happened with the Millie Bobby Brown fiasco a few months back. That said, I find that generally there's a higher track record/hitrate for the legitimacy…"
"I have noticed that with signed books there are almost no forgeries while with signed art cards on vinyl and CD there is often only a scribble which gives the impression that it was signed by someone else.
I also notice that the autopen is used for…"
"Music of the Spheres was not an autopen"

"They authenticated the same Jerry Lee Lewis stamped signature over two consecutive cert numbers. That’s right. They had a second chance after not recognizing a stamped signature, but didn’t notice that they were authenticating the exact…"
"Yup, definitely actual JSA authentication on both the Spielberg preprint and Obama preprint letter. I saw them both over a year ago and wish I had saved images of both preprint photo and JSA authentication. If I ever come across either again I will…"
"Oddly the Spielberg preprint photo actually shines separate from the photo but that’s because the signature area is in a separate white border. It totally looks like live ink but it’s printed. Not autopen either. It’s part of the…"
"Are you sure its JSA and not someone swapping stickers or fabricating their own JSA sticker for all these instances? If its shown in their database, thats crazy. I get authenticators can make mistakes but that shouldn't ever happen with…"
"Since a preprint means the signature is part of the picture, if you look at the photo with reflected light at the right angle, all you will see is glare on the gloss of the photo. If it is signed with ink, you will see the ink reflect the light in a…"
"One way to check is to use Google images to see if you can find an exact match. This only works if it’s an actual preprint and not a homemade copy of someone’s personal autographed item.
Speaking of JSA “authenticating”…"
"Luckily you figured it out! How do you check if it's a real one or a copy? I sometimes have the idea that I got a copy, but I don't know how to check this exactly"
"Thats always a concern. Many years ago I purchased a ghostbusters cast signed photo certified by JSA for $500 that ended up being a print. I have no clue how it came to be. Was it a JSA error or was the sticker carefully switched? There are many…"
"It could even be that prints are made of it. If that were to happen then it would not even be possible to judge before purchase even if the signatures are real"
