I have been very close to buying this Gloria Grahame 'maybe' autograph. But bringing it to you all to see what you think first - Seller claims it's original and "signed by the actress in blue ink" -…Continue

"Sure thing!"
"Thank you SO much Eddy! "
"Avoid this one as well.
This looks like a cheap repro. image that had a pre-printed sentiment and signature on the original image (the white ink).
The forger then did a mediocre looking signature in a dark pen.
This another of…"
"Okay, great to be aware of! "
"That is wise. A large % of postcards and 5x7's are secretarial. Authentic signatures start showing up on 8x10's and more often on 11x14's. This is just a general guide of course."
"Me too. I'll be gathering opinions on any 5x7 golden era photos before spending money in the future! "
"The good news is I didn't pay a ton for it...and I have a nice print photo of Richard Conte. I have some more to share soon. Cheers! "

"Sounds good! I'd advise returning it as soon as possible."

I'd encourage you to send this over to Autograph Hounds as well. This is the kind of thing we enjoy discussing there also!"
"No question they are different. The one I located did not have any authentication. The one I posted has an unusual "fade" at the "Con" area. Perhaps Eddy will chime in."
"Hi there - gotcha I will take a look at this in daylight tomorrow to see if it looks like proper hand signature ink. Another difference between the two is the dot on the 'i' in Richard is right where it should be in my photo, but attached…"
"Hello again,
There were some very high quality facsimiles sent from Vivien Leigh and Olivier that were also dense black "ink" and rather convincing until you got on top of them. Those were, IIRC, matte finish postcards and the signatures…"
