"I can’t believe these guys are still around. And their site is not that well indexed on search engines either with so many other unrelated businesses also going by the same name. The E=mc^2 actually made me laugh."
"It's always bad when somebody is better at signing Beatles than the Beatles. I can't imagine having the skills to crack forging an item of this value at quality good enough for getting it okay'd by 2 TPAs, consigning it to an…"
"Both sets do look overly neat and clean, but I don't think they're both machine signed if they're both fake. Too many other sets of for them to choose from"
"With these devices I would expect almost 0 indent at all - with ballpoint ink looking almost like crayon overlaid over the uncompressed texture of the paper.
If they managed to pull off indents, I would imagine them to be perfectly even. And I would…"
"From what I know about these machines:
1. The pen does not actually push down, the pen is merely dropped at certain points and dragged along the surface until it reaches the end of a stroke and is lifted. Hence there is usually no indentation.
2.…"
"If I am not mistaken Cool Stuff PD is an offshoot/rebrand of Heroes and Legends. The authentication sticker in the photo also is GFA which is not trustworthy."
"I still think plotted especially based on their other items. Small differences at the end of names and the altered placement of individual sections would be super easy to do in a vector editing program. When tracing the John it looks like they made…"
"For me first place I would check would be end of the signature. The OP looks to be ballpoint to me, but some of their other inventory was felt tip and very flat looking. The Stones one looked gel pen to me which hides the dotting less than ballpoint."
"These autopen devices do not necessarily always have a dot near start and end of strokes but usually will at the tail end of a stroke. They can plot the vector in reverse so that the tail end might display a more natural taper in effort to throw…"
"Other items looking like pen plotting, possibly plotted in reverse. Based on the signature placements of the one in OP to have low contrast, I am guessing that was also plotted."
