I came across this auction in New Zealand, where I live and this is an unusual item for this auction house. A full set of Beatles autographs. It seems they are not expecting a lot of bids, and it…Continue

"Hello
A very nice secretarial.
The photo is fairly rare, this particular pose, from a session that produced more famous poses. This is an alternative shot. "
"Yes and accompanied by Arthur on the left. "
"Yes, authentic IMO. The giant high loops were the Miller stage. "
"Hello
This looks like a typical preprint. She did not sign photos like this. This appears to be is a copy of her signature, printed onto a photo. "
"Hello
This looks real to me. Signed after 1955 I would think. "
"Hello
This is real, gosh faded. "
"So you gather all of these, plus many more in one place? Then also comment on when sold if known? No Hollywood photos or signed notes.

"Hi Steve
A much deeper pool of Monroe signed photos, although I have a number of them on my blog. IF all were collected in one place on the Internet such as here, it sure would discourage fraudsters.
Hmmmm... Big job "

"Actually I've changed my opinion. This is a tracing of her classic signature, the actual copyrighted one found on products licensed under her name.
The original being her extremely tidy signing on her 20th Century Fox contract. "
"There is no context, what am I looking at?
This fits the autopen theory, it's got the bumpy texture. Definitely not real. It doesn't cost a lot for a quick opinion from Beckett? "

I understand what you are saying about her contract signature . I will try and get a closer look of the photo . Also I'm a little confused , how do I post to your Marilyn Monroe forum , I get a message "You can only send messages to friends on Autograph Magazine Live". This photo does not belong to anybody , this photo was put on a bulletin board by someone at my workplace who is no longer here . It's been here for at least 10 plus years or more , so it adds to the mystery for me . I was hoping this would have been a cool find since my co-workers have never made an investigation into it . The theory is that it's been placed there around the same time as the corvette poster right next to it which is dated at 1984 . I posted a close up of the autograph and corvette poster.

Hello Pauline ,
I'm new to this group so I hope I'm doing this right
I want to get some feedback on a Marilyn Monroe Autograph .
The photo is in good condition , however there are signs of yellowing on the bottom from aging . Also someone had the nutty idea to glue the photo to a bulletin board next to corvette poster which is actually dated to 1984 . I don't want Marilyn Monroe fans to get upset as I did not do that . It has kept the photo from curling and is mainly flat like it was kept in a book properly . It was signed with a blue pen on the right side . Also it looks like someone had the name Marilyn Monroe typed on the bottom . I don't know if that's how they did things back then but it's on the bottom in the photo .
I would like to know what kind of collector value this would have and also have some kind of input on the autograph . I have more photos of this one if people want different angles but these came out the best .Thank You
Dan

It's all set :) Thanks for making her--her own group, I hope you don't mind I joined. I always had interest in Ms. Monroe :)

I Pauline, I talked to Steve about the 2 (two) groups you've made, please delete one of the groups. He said its fine that there is a new Marilyn group, but no need for two :) (one group has 3 people, one has 2, so maybe the one less?) Thanks. If you can't figure out how to delete it let me know and I will do it for you.

Pauline can you tell me what the differences is in the two groups you made ? I also need to check with Steve to make sure there isn't already a group specific to her (I don't think there is - but I honestly do not know exactly where to look).
The reason I ask is we don't want to create numerous groups that essentially may have the same types of discussions.
