A-OK. Looks unforced, smooth, well-formed, and although larger than normal, all the elements are there. I see no overt signs of fakery so mark me down as a thumbs up.

I don't think this is real at all I would pass on that looks nothing like an authentic Arnold. I have added some of mine as you can see looks nothing like the one you have added completely different style and the size is way to big IMO.

Loads of variation on all. You sure wouldn't want to play, "which one of these is not like the others" with serious coin on the outcome.

The one added looks nothing like an real Arnold, and IMO it's a fake and would keep well away from it. The ones I added look all the same size for the signature give and take not like the giant one on that photo.

Thanks for the comments guys, im not too clever on arnold's autograph so figured best thing to do is to post on here to learn more about his autograph, just to reiterate on woody's comments, I've tried looking at some psa/dna, jsa examples of arnold's autographs that are considered authentic and it seems tough to pin down.. lots of variation and changes with his autograph

Size can be deceptive as well. There's a topic of discussion on here right now, in the Beatles section about a ship's dinner menu allegedly signed by George Harrison. The signature is about 3 to 5 times larger than what one normally associates with authenticated legitimate Harrison autos. The debate is about 8 pages long and still rages, pro and con, both sides of the authentication fence well represented!

Nice pieces Kato, wish I owned a few more but love the only one I got IP on an 8x10, which most resembles your 1st and 4th photo signatures. I don't trust the photo in question either, just seems too different from exemplars.

Very Nice Todd, the one added for this discussion is just an Common fake you find on ebay, no top 3 party Authenticator would pass it as authentic all parts are wrong on it size style and not signed by Arnold IMO.
