Authenticity is Everything
Harrison Ford Questionable Autographs
Some of you know me, and from what I understand, someone caught selling yet another bad Ford autograph has once again, decided to spout off at the mouth. Claims that I am a dealer and I only tell unsuspecting autograph buyers that their item is fake so that I can sell my own Harrison Fords. Again I am hearing claims that the likely supplier of the forgeries is the true expert on Harrison Ford autographs.
Side note the seller sent me a friend request message yesterday with the single question about if I knew a particular collector. In my world this says plenty, and likely tells me where the piece originated.
When I tell people that I track the sale of Harrison Ford autographs, I am not kidding around, I watch sales here, I watch sales on rebelscum and on ebay and other online auction sites.
Who signed them? Who is the forger? I am not going to play games and point fingers, nor will I even guess if the supplier is the forger, all I can do is put together where they came from.
I will give the people that have had these in their possession, that courtesy. They can come clean about where they got them as the "in-person" and "private signing" stories fall apart.
This is the same courtesy I tried to provide to Marc Moser, the last guy caught in a huge Ford Forgery mess. He decided to drag my name thru the mud for a few months as well, but by doing that he just shot himself in the foot. People will wake up sooner or later, and the truth does come out.
I present these images to you, again supplying the signatures and letting the people on this forum and others as judge, you decide the truth. You will also be the deciding factor if these autograph professionals keep their reputations or if they have earned brand new ones.
Every item below has been tracked to the most recent seller, and through his own admission the source of the autographs, I will also include items sold elsewhere by the supplier who admitted on these very pages to supplying some of these.
The pattern is pretty clear to me.
As for the recent claims about me being a dealer, out to only hurt other peoples supposedly reputable business.
Please keep in mind, that anyone that has purchased anything at all from me in the past 5 years has approached me. When they do I usually point them in other directions and offer to authenticate (for free) any item they ask about, from any other source.

I'm leaning against but I'm waiting on Pete or Mike T who have him covered far better than me.

I am not in love with the super sharp H crossover, but the graph as a whole is fine, completely real.

I am extremely impressed with what he has. All vintage and in extraordinary shape! This will only need backing. He has some other real gems. TFA's teaser is real DS and has as solid a graph as this but actually a little larger. Just wish he'd had a Blade Runner.......

Feel lucky to have it! Check out his stock. He has some really cool vintage pieces!

Yes I saw them the day he got them signed. Very nice pieces, not so nice prices. The market for sit down Ford is pretty saturated right now, Derek has had pieces sitting for over 2 years now, and OPX still has TFA posters leftover from their signing. All have survived multiple mark downs and sales. The demand just isn't there when Ford does 2-3 signings a year.

I think the blue sharpie sigs get lost on the TFA poster. The silver looks better to me.

I agree, I pushed for silver originally, and the OPX team tried to have a few signed in silver to accommodate, but ultimately it didn't work out.
Its a tough sell, $1000 just for one name on a poster. Then each main cast member you add after that will cost $200-500 each. It adds up quick, I think a lot of people are now realizing that and you see them quite a bit on our Facebook group and ebay.
Even the original trilogy posters, to cast out a poster with Ford on it already it will cost an additional $2k, and now you will never be able to add Kenny Baker.

I have only stuck with the original 3 movies actors so far. For one I'm a Star Wars fan but not as fanatical as some but also after the original group ,the signatures of the newer main actors (Daisy is ok) are pretty bad. With "The Mouse" owning the franchise they are gonna crank out a never ending amount of movies.It will get hard to keep up! A new Han Solo and Lando in 2018.

I love collecting from the original trilogy, there's something for everyone from the $20 convention signers all the way up to the ultra rare impossible to find stuff.
Time will tell with all these new actors who will hold value.. my prediction is that not many will. A company recently set up a private signing with Spencer Wilding (The new Darth Vader from Rogue One) and originally he wanted $100 per autograph and people weren't having it, so the company had to go back and renegotiate with him, hes now doing conventions for $20-30.
The new guys will try to cash in I'm sure, but ultimately the market is going to determine the prices.

One guy I might pick up would be James Earl Jones. And of course one might want Guinness.
