I always have the hardest time with Jimmy Stewart autographs, I really can’t tell the difference between autopens and the real thing for him. I saw Steve Zarelli’s blog here on his autopen patterns,…Continue

Just wondering what you think of this doubly signed shot of Dorothy Lamour and Bob Hope. The Lamour looks good to me, but the Hope seems too exaggerated, even for his larger style? Also did he sign…Continue

I didn’t get any hits in the Clint Eastwood section, so I thought more people would see it here. I know it’s not a ‘typical’ in person Clint Eastwood, but it does have a certification from one of the…Continue

"Here’s one certed by Beckett and another reason why you should ALWAYS go by the graph, not the certification company. Another decent attempt, but fake nonetheless, imo."
"Now please don't take that to mean I think it is an Autopen."
"Hi Greg - Good to see you here. I dropped you a message if you would like to check your inbox."
"An Autopen. being a signature signed by a machine, will also exhibit crossover. "
"That is NOT what I meant. I only mentioned stamps to explain crossover. "
"Thanks so much for the explanation Eric! So your thoughts is that this may be a stamp if crossover is not seen in person on this example? That might also be a cause for the skips in the J and S? Was he known for using a stamp?"
"Here is a scan I made that allows you to see accurately:"
"Even if I tilt my screen I can not see the paper."
"Crossover is where you can see ink lying over ink as where one stroke goes over another such as the cross on a "t". Stamps for example do not exhibit crossover. This visual should explain overexposure:"
"Here’s the only other photo posted of it. Not sure if this helps."
"Sorry, I don’t quite understand what you mean? I thought it was a pretty detailed close up? What exactly is crossover? Thanks for the speedy reply!"
"This scan appears highly over-contrasted. Crossover is not visible."

I always have the hardest time with Jimmy Stewart autographs, I really can’t tell the difference between autopens and the real thing for him. I saw Steve Zarelli’s blog here on his autopen patterns, but I find it hard to see the shakiness and hard stops typical of autopens that he states in those examples. Also those examples were all signed ‘Jimmy’ and mine is ‘James’. So I guess a big question I have is does he have autopen patterns of ‘James’ out there as well? As Steve stated he was good at…See More
"Yes, looks like his usual ttm secretary."
" What are your thoughts on this one? I’m thinking it’s too ‘loopy’ so probably secretarial?"

- I talked with both Eric and Pete Chuka. Seems Eric bought some autographs from another IP grapher and one of the Fords turned out to be a fake. As soon as he was notified, Eric took it out of his eBay store. To me, it is now a non-issue. I will continue to use Eric in the future.
