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.

No one. But it's a fact Steve grad is an expert with Star Wars graphs.

I said in today's Real Autograph News that Pete and Grad were the best at Star Wars.

So therefore if Steve grad says fords are authentic no reason to question the signature.....It's real then. (Since Steve grad says so.)

Authenticity opinions aren't handed down from the gods. There are autographs that are debatable period.

Steve Grad and Pete called a Ford differently not that long ago.

When you show me two autographs with the exact same wrong turns in both, I don't care if God himself stickered them. I am going to call them fake, because that is what they are.

Poor fakes at that.

I just looked thru 3000 samples dated from 1972 right up to 2 weeks ago, and guess what?

Not a single authentic sample shows those wrong turns.

Really bad forgeries, maybe have one of these flaws, but the multiple bad areas are just sad.

Kudos to Jake for zeroing in on one handwriting style, unfortunately it isn't Harrison's.

That Beckett sticker signifies Steve Grad's opinion that the autograph is real, and Steve is one of the best Star Wars authenticators. You asked for Pete's opinion, another of the the best Star Wars authenticators, and he told you it's not. Both have given you the same thing, their opinions. It's up to you what you decide to do with them.

Personally, the BAS Indy looked more like the stuff JSA's been approving and I was surprised to see it authenticated by them. Even the price seems suspiciously low at $500 OBO. Either way, I wouldn't want a Ford in my collection that Pete couldn't give the thumbs up on. Harrison's not even a rare signer anymore, there are plenty of better pieces you could spend your money on.

I think when it comes to Harrison Ford autographs I would take Pete's word over any other. Period.

I also would take Pete's word. Any examination of these threads...rarely if ever do I endorse an opinion over a signature so to speak, but in this case...
