"Hi Nick. Just a quick observation and comment. I have followed this thread and I am by no means an expert on Dylan but I am inclined to agree with BallroomDays67. In fact, BallroomDays67 not only has a very keen eye for signature traits, he also has…"

Hello! Would love opinions on the authenticity of the Bob Dylan poem and signature. I would love to get it encapsulated by PSA, and sent it off to them and just received it back as “questionable…Continue

"Thank you, ballroom. I continue welcome other opinions too!"
"Nick’s is actually missing traits that are present in the GHRR example. The signature includes the upstroke to begin the “Y” that I’ve seen with authentic Dylan signatures. If one was copied from the other and and…"
"Thank you for responding to my tracing question. That’s really helpful.
I would love to ask Jeff Gold for his opinion. Should I submit an inquiry through the form on his website or is there another way to reach him?"
"Nick,
To answer your question, I don’t believe any tracing of signatures was involved here. But I do believe one was copied from the other. Which I cannot say because the provenance of both signatures is unknown to me.
Unlike…"
"That makes sense. However your explanation of their response to you seemed pretty alarming (quote from your post below). Additionally many others shared concerns and even lawsuits filed and won against GHRR. Again, I am no autograph expert but it…"
"I mentioned one particular item in that discussion. They certainty aren’t perfect, but they’ve had many authentic items in their auctions. "
"Hi ballroom,
I hear you and I truly do appreciate your opinions on this as I work to get to the bottom of it. Hope this doesn’t come across as cruel, but I’ve been researching the trustworthiness of Gotta Have Rock and Roll…"
"That’s interesting. As I mentioned before, the other one looks more naturally written to me, and without the letter formation issues and misspelling of “when.” It seems odd that yours would be the original. Someone paid about…"
"Roger responded very quickly. He believes the GHRR piece is not authentic.
after I emailed him the link to the GHRR item and asked if that changed his opinion of my item he responded:
”This one is not authentic in my opinion but yours…"
"I just emailed Roger a link to the GHRR item and asked if that changes his opinion. To date, Roger has responded to my messages within 24 hours. I will share the outcome here. The story goes on…
but, would still love insight from ballroom…"
"Thank you, Stepeanut. It is helpful to know that Dylan did not use the word “silhouette” in any other songs. This is a long shot, but I just emailed the new Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa to see if they may have the original handwritten…"
"I agree with Ballroom here. Roger should be made aware of the other, similar autograph, so that he can factor that into his decision. Because I still believe it’s a problem. One or other of them can be genuine, but I’d…"
"Hi ballroom,
Thank you for your feedback. No, I do not know if Roger is specifically aware of the piece sold through GHRR. I appreciate the notes about the misspellings and letter formations- honestly I feel that type of analysis is out of my…"
"Do you know if Roger is aware of the piece that was sold through Gotta Have Rock and Roll? Again, what really sticks out is the incorrect spelling of “silhouette”, which is missing the first “E.” This isn’t what…"
