Elizabeth Taylor: Opinions please (Latin American magazine examples 9 and 10)
Started this discussion. Last reply by Etienne on Saturday. 5 Replies 0 Likes
Picking up the "autographs dedicated to Latin American magazines" theme again, here are two Elizabeth Taylor's for comment. Even though Taylor certainly had secretaries sign for her over the years, I…Continue
Grace Kelly: Opinions please (Latin American magazine example 8)
Started this discussion. Last reply by michelle Apr 7. 7 Replies 0 Likes

After one screwball comedienne, Thelma Todd, we now have another, Carole Lombard. There are certainly Lombard secretarials about, particularly in the smaller formats (7"x5" and postcards), but I…Continue

Started Apr 4 0 Replies 0 Likes
Here is a Thelma Todd for comment. I assume it is from quite early on in her career (late 1920s). It seems real to me even if not totally typical in some respects (separate "o" and no tail on the…Continue

"That Survival LP looks great - having the photo makes it all the more special.
My labour of love on Marley signed LPs is at this link:

"I actually find your's more convincing than the other three examples...authenticating autographs really is tricky!"
"Having just looked at a few more examples from old threads I don't think the "M" is actually all that unsual - assuming the examples in the old threads are real of course."
"Certainly the signature itself is not typical in every respect (the "o" and "M" in particular) but the inscription looks pretty good and if the provenance stacks up I would think it must be real. I certainly wouldn't worry…"
"Having seen these photos popping up quite a bit over the years, I do have to say that it has stuck in my mind that the forger of these has had an ability to make the signatures look old. "
"Do you believe that the "Florida photos" are secretarials or forgeries and do you believe that any of the Florida photos are good?"
"I can see where you are coming from on the 1949 signature, David. I'll try to do some more digging on that one and the other, which is stamped 1958."
"The autographed photos you've posted look like the stuff from Florida.
Vintage wire photos signed in fountain pen, typically personalized to foreign press, such as; "Cinelandia", "Filmlandia", etc. I was sucked in and…"
"A pug called eva, in my humble opinion both Taylors you posted are not hers. The "1949" autograph isn't right, and your second photo does not have the right characteristics. "

"Not necessarily. A forger is not likely to produce an atypical autograph."
"Found this old thread while doing some reserch.
I think the "To Laurie" example is real even if it doesn't look totally typical. I believe the "Laurie" was Laurie Butcher, an avid in-person collector who died in 2018.…"
"I was not saying that none of the shown examples were real, just that I wouldn't want to buy them. I am, however, very sceptical about the OP example because it is in the style of a rushed in-person signature while actually looking carefully…"
"These just sold for £9,200 (!) and £3,500 respectively, both prices before premiums etc. so I assume both were more than OK. I actually left out another signed single that went for £4,000 before premiums etc. Here it is:"
