"Will definitely be interesting examining these. I have seen some pretty decent photos from home printers look almost professional so getting a good eye on a couple of these might help determine the printing process. Might also be old stock from…"

James Stewart Bunch of Photos - Authentic?
Started this discussion. Last reply by JMS1223 Feb 7. 56 Replies 0 Likes
I have an opportunity to buy a large collection of photos signed by James Stewart. They were supposedly signed for an air force buddy, but the photos look awfully new. I'd really appreciate any…Continue
Cool Find: A Letter from Jack the Ripper Investigator
Started this discussion. Last reply by Eddy Dec 26, 2022. 4 Replies 0 Likes
I thought I'd share this because I found it so fascinating. I discovered this letter in a collection of mainly obscure 19th Century British administrators, lords, etc. It's written by Robert…Continue
Opinions on two Jack Haley/Ray Bolger dual-signed WOZ Photos?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Will McIntosh Jul 21, 2022. 4 Replies 0 Likes
Can anyone weigh in on these photos? The story is that the Haley signature was obtained in-person when Haley was in the Hollywood actors' retirement home, and the Bolger was obtained through the mail…Continue
Amelia Earhart?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Will McIntosh Mar 20, 2022. 4 Replies 0 Likes
I've compared this to a bunch of other Earhart signatures, and it mostly matches up, but the "E" seems different. And it seems less "elegant" than other examples. Thanks for any opinions.…Continue

"As I had mentioned earlier in this thread, the ones that I examined in hand were thick card stock prints with unmarked backs. A printed process. Definitely not run through a home printer."
"Thank you, JK. If they’re thicker, they may be inkjet photo paper."
"Sure, no problem. The more eyes on these the better. It would be great to get some identification of the printing process. They're not on photograph paper, and I'm not sure if they're something that could be printed…"
"Glad to help!"
"That’s a great idea. I am also curious about photo process and paper type if you find out anything. "
"JK,
May I borrow 2 of each photo and paper you have before you deface? I'd like to analyze the photo process and identify the paper if I can."
"Best to take photos before defacing so we have clean photos if we choose to use them to submit to authenticators via quick opinion. "
"I definitely will. I will need to clear a space large enough! It's pretty impressive.
I'll also post photus here before the defacing step just so everyone is comfortable wirh the outcome."
"Please take a photograph of the mass of them if you would. I was thinking I may update my original blog post showing a large cache of these."
"Couldn't agree more! Thanks guys!"
"Will McIntosh,
Thank you for posting about these—most of all, not trying to sell them, and for sending them to JK to document and mark.
JK, thanks for taking on the big task of documenting and marking them.
Everyone—thank you for sharing…"
"The eagle has landed! (Reimbursement for postage going out today).
Thank you again for these. I will take some ttime to document and mark these. Then the ultimate disposal/distribution will commerce.
It is an astounding…"
"I really appreciate the chance to help use these as a learning tool. I'll get a strategy together and post about it to see how people feel about it.
Thx again!"
"400 of them? Wow!"
"The 400 forged Jimmy's are officially on their way to JK! Hopefully they do some good."

Bio
Posted on November 11, 2020 at 6:41am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Just thought I'd post a bit of biographical info. I was a writer for Autograph Collector Magazine back in the 1990s, when it still showed up in your mailbox in print form. I wrote maybe 25 feature articles. That was actually my first pro writing gig, which I did as a hobby when I was a psychology professor. These days I'm a full-time science fiction writer (my member pic is actually the cover of one of my novels). I won a Hugo award a while back, and I've written some young adult and middle…
