Peter O'Toole - Lawrence of Arabia Photo

Started this discussion. Last reply by Eddy Jan 10, 2021. 5 Replies

Does anyone have an opinion of whether or not this Peter O'Toole signature is authentic? I saw it at auction just a few minutes before it ended, so I had to act fast because I love the photo and I…Continue

Leonard Cohen?

I recently purchased a signed photo of Leonard Cohen, purportedly from his personal collection and given to a former secretary. The seller claimed to be listing the items on behalf of this secretary,…Continue

I'm preparing to send a few items to Beckett for authentication. Mostly items that were collected through the mail years ago, that I want to ensure aren't secretarial signatures.But in certain cases,…Continue

"It hasn't been authenticated. I have a hard time comparing it with others, because Peter's signature can vary so much. It changed as he got older. And he was a prolific signer through the mail, so there were variations between his…"

"You are right, hbw60, it is a great image.  However, the signature doesn't look right...also IMHO.  Has it been authenticated by PSA, JSA, etc.?  Perhaps others will add their thoughts here. I have found that there are more…"

Peter O'Toole - Lawrence of Arabia Photo

Does anyone have an opinion of whether or not this Peter O'Toole signature is authentic? I saw it at auction just a few minutes before it ended, so I had to act fast because I love the photo and I really wanted to add this one to my collection (Lawrence of Arabia is my favorite film). It looks good to me, but a more expert opinion would be most welcome.…See More

hbw60 commented on Mike Shepherd's blog post Short-Sighted Collecting Habits
"It's an interesting topic to contemplate, because the way our minds can change often doesn't make any logical sense. For me, I think time can be a factor when I'm considering purchasing an autograph. Historical relevance over time can…"

hbw60 replied to Steve Cyrkin, Admin's discussion Show us your Joe Biden, Kamala Harris & Jill Biden Autographs!
"This is almost certainly a pre-print. I wrote to Biden around the same era (2013), and got one that looks exactly like this. I don't have it any more for comparison, but it was the same photo/inscription."

hbw60 replied to Steve Cyrkin, Admin's discussion Show us your Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Jill Biden Autographs!
"That's such a fantastic inscription! Definitely one of the best. A couple of years ago, I got a signed copy of his book through Barnes and Noble. I bought it with the hopes that he'd run again, so it worked out well."

hbw60 replied to ralf müller's discussion Apollo 11 Crew Signed - Real?
"Buzz Aldrin's signature looks really good. The handwriting looks spot-on to me. However, it looks like a somewhat recent signature (from the last 20 years or so). Neil Armstrong stopped signing about 30 years ago. That doesn't mean…"

"For security reasons, I don't think there's anything inherently risky about having your name on the item, since it's something so widely available anyway. However, it can potentially annoy the signer, because they'll know exactly…"
