if you are serious about obtaining a genuine elvis you have come to the right place to help you. can someone kindly post genuine examples?

again if you are serious about obtaining a genuine authentic elvis use this non genuine item as a stepping stone to aquire a genuine one. some will fall but trick is to dust yourself off and get up with a clearer focus & understanding.

invest the time to study genuine examples and post it here for feedback if you truly studied the item. 95% of the feedback you will get here will grant a 99% chance of obtaining a genuine item.

keep the faith

I would still like to know if Mupplvr feels up to it just which auction house sold him his Elvis autograph...

I would be glad to - it was from Piece of the Past, and I bought it a long time ago when I just started collecting and I thought they were very reputable. There's no need in trying to get my money back - all he would do is get me to pay MORE money to use one or more of his authenticators who will probably rule in his favor anyway.

Don - thank you for editing your post - that was better than you originally stated. 

terrier8HOF - one of the examples I found WAS listed as being authenticated. I'm not stupid and know that it must be compared to known examples.

Steve - thank you for understanding. I so wanted this signature to be real one of course because I'm out $600 bucks, but most of all, when I bought it for my mother she cried when I gave it to her because she loves Elvis so much. Fake or not, that memory is something I wouldn't trade for anything.

John Kimball - thanks for the well put words and encouragement.

Eric - thanks as always for your help.

My main point for getting upset was not that I have a fake. It's the way people talk to each other. I may not know any one of you from a hill of beans, but a little respect and kindness , and not bluntness, goes a long way to making this world a better place. 

I'm not a "professional" collector - I collect who I like and could care squat about what it's going to be worth 50 years from now. I collect who I like, no matter if their signature is worth $5 or $500. There's no need for ugliness in a hobby that's supposed to be enjoyable.

I'm still not sure where the ugliness is/was. Anyway Good luck with your future autograph collecting.

Mupplvr,

It can be really hard to judge the tone of someone's post, and easy to think they're talking down to you, etc. That's the downside with typing instead of talking.

That was so sweet of you to buy that for your mother. In this case, the memory means everything. The autograph is priceless.

never lose hope ! heck, even paying $2000 or up for the apparent non genuine item would not come close to the price that showed how much you love your mother. its a win win in this case as she was given utmost love and the situation brought you here where we have hopefully become new friends with a more profound knowledge of what the king of rocks authentic signing habits were.
