Is This Bob Dylan legit

It came from R and R, with a REAL certificate available. Just the price that Roger charges for Dylan varies from $750??!! to $300.  Let me know what you think.…Continue

Thoughts on this Jimi Hendrix

This item is up for sale at RR.  It doesn't look remotely right to me.  It supposedly has a COA from Tracks, but the signature and backstory seem all wrong.  The individual who got the autograph…Continue

"It seems to be one of those low budget felt tips that make a dot every time you put it down and take it off, as well as everywhere the lines cross. Those are not actual dots, just double colored."

"It was authenticated by Roger for R & R, which is why I bought it. It is also a full legible signature, of the type where he was signing for someone he cared about, and was not in any rush, vs. the fast sharpie scribble when you have a bunch of…"

Gratefulphish replied to Bryan's discussion John Steinbeck: Real or forgeries?
"It seems that lucky "Bruce" got multiple copies of the same book signed. but the second one has the bizarre just two names, without the "for" from your example above. Looking at some other apparently legitimate booksellers, the…"

Gratefulphish replied to Beatlesfan64's discussion Elton John Signature
"I take it that these must be from two different eras of his career, as on first glance, I would never think that the two were signed by the same person. That is why this site is so amazing. So many people with knowledge of not merely a signature,…"

Gratefulphish replied to Bryan's discussion John Steinbeck: Real or forgeries?
"I think that the first one may also be by the same hand as the third and fourth.  Whoever "Bruce" is, he seems to have a printing press of Steinbeck books, and Steinbeck must have been his BFF or neighbor.  Since the second one…"

Gratefulphish replied to Robert Synder's discussion Are these Mickey Mantle autographs real? Thank you
"+ 1 The cumulative knowledge here is just phenomenal. It is rare to find something come up that someone here has not studied at some point. Plus the analytical ability of people to dissect a signature for comparison purposes is also amazing. …"

Gratefulphish replied to A.B.'s discussion Grace Kelly - Authentic?
"It is pretty evident just from the letter "e" in the last names. In the real ones, she uses the backward 3 form of the letter, while the OP has it matching the ending "e" in Grace. It is odd to see someone use two entirely…"

Gratefulphish replied to Bruce Juice's discussion Blues for Allah signed LP on Heritage -- Real?
"For starters, Jerry never made a "J" or an "E" that looked like that. Any alleged autograph with the backward "3" type letter "E" is a fake."

Gratefulphish replied to hbw60's discussion Suspicious Bob Dylan Art Print
"Or another explanation for not getting the item shown is that they have a stack of these that they auction one after the other, and don't bother to change the photo.  If this is not outright fraud, then it is certainly under the deceptive…"

Gratefulphish replied to Bruce Juice's discussion Blues for Allah signed LP on Heritage -- Real?
"I know I'm late to the party, but is definitely a forgery, by a prolific forger who turned out one "signed" Grateful Dead album after the next.  Many of them have been authenticated by the larger players in the market, who…"

Glad to be your friend! I just uploaded a few short videos from the little documentary they're doing on me, and my autograph collect, that you might enjoy.
