At first glance this looked good to me, but a closer look at the last name has me a bit skeptical. Parts of it, particularly the last "t" lack the smoothness I usually see in his authentic signature.…Continue

Edie Falco secretarials?
Started Mar 4, 2024 0 Replies 0 Likes
I had never realized that Edie Falco responded secretarially, but I've done some research and I'm thinking the two autographed items I sent to her and received June 2000 look bad compared to her…Continue

Curious to hear any opinions on this seller. He's been on ebay since last century and most of his listings claim he gets his autos IP when various celebs are in town. Doesn't appear to sell anything…Continue

"Hey meggs,
thanks a lot for your help on the Klum autograph! Are you the "meggs" who has an ebay account of the same name selling a Klum as well? I'd be interested in purchasing it.
Best,
Kai"
"I think it's good, but with the caveat that I'm not familiar with every autopen matrix she has used."
"Agree with you, I don't like it at all."
"Stan Musial was a prolific signer and there is a whole lot of his authentic stuff out there. But this isn't one of them. If Stan the Man is fake, you can bet the farm the others are too."
"It could be real. If it's a forgery it's a good one, but personally if I was in the market for his autograph I would avoid it. The large gap between the top of the C and the top of the h is atypical. The balance of the angle is somewhat…"
"Thank you JK, I appreciate your knowledge and how clearly you explained it."
"Yes, I agree. The S and the T look like they are trying to replicate the characteristics I mentioned. The T, especially, is firmly written while trying to imitate an infirm stroke."
"The last name does appear to have that kind of drawn look to me, what do you think JK? "
"There is an occasional shakiness to JS's handwriting that most forgers don't understand or can't duplicate. There was fluidity to parts of his signature while other parts were a little stilted. But the shaky or stilted…"
"Thank you JMS, I got that slowly drawn feeling as well."
"🤔 I could see it maybe being a good forgery. Has a few hints of being slowly drawn. Just doesn’t have the right flow to it to seem/look authentic to me. But I could be wrong. Might be good though and I am over analyzing. "

At first glance this looked good to me, but a closer look at the last name has me a bit skeptical. Parts of it, particularly the last "t" lack the smoothness I usually see in his authentic signature. I know several folks on here are very well versed on his autograph, so I'd appreciate opinions. See More

- As someone who has primarily collected TTM for over 30 years, secretarials and to a lesser extent autopens and preprints have always been the bane of my collecting world. But at the same time I'm fascinated by the research and detecting facet of authentication. The number of forgers on eBay makes me want to puke and I'd like to contribute another positive and honest voice to the hobby I love. Since I have been doing a lot of authentication lately, I periodically come across your forum and enjoy it immensely. "Authenticity is Everything"...those three little words sum up quite succinctly why I want to join this forum!

The 3 Faces of Doris - Will the Real Doris Day Please Stand Up

I'm a big Doris Day fan. Love her voice and thought she was an underrated actress. Not a big fan of those iconic movies with Rock Hudson and Tony Randall, but I enjoyed a lot of her earlier musicals and her few dramatic roles: Midnight Lace, Julie, Hitchcock's second version of The Man Who Knew To Much and her terrific turn as Ruth Etting in Love Me Or Leave Me. In those few roles she really got to show her dramatic chops.
The point of all this is because I am a big fan (and having…

I'm not talking about inexperienced sellers here. I'm talking about sellers with feedback in the thousands who feel that putting a photo in a semi-rigid envelope barely larger than the photo with just a sleeve or perhaps some semi-rigid cardboard around the sleeve is enough protection for an autographed photo.
I've been buying more online lately, a lot of it to fill holes in my Sopranos collection. And it's been truly disheartening to see what a high percentage of sellers don't use…

Recently while I was browsing on fleabay, I came across a guy who says he was the first Creative Director at Upper Deck from 1989-1992. It seems he squirreled away numerous sets of 1991 and 1992 Upper Deck Heroes Of Baseball Commemorative Sheets that were originally given out as SGAs at baseball games. Upper Deck produced a lot of these individually numbered promotional sheets, mostly as SGAs, throughout the 1990's. But these 1991 and 1992 sheets are hands down the cream of the crop IMO…
