Beckett is better than the rest of the authenticators giving their opinions on Star Wars autographs, but they are opinions, nothing more, nothing less.

I stated above that the best one in the batch is the one without any stickers. The Silver one is real, but not pretty. The Blue one " might be something she scribbled in the streets or it's just a decent fake, not anything you would want to put good money on. Too many strikes against it for me to ever call it good."

That is my opinion, Beckett gets to charge for their opinion and by stickering that, someone will buy a substandard disaster of a Carrie Fisher autograph. Good, Bad or Ugly, the Beckett opinion is it deserved their "OK". It would not ever get mine. 

What part is confusing?

Pete, you've cleared up everything for me!  I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to look at the autos!

Have a great weekend!

Does this George Lucas look real or is it fake?

This isn't a piece that I would ever put my name on.

Pete, how do these Peter Mayhew's look? They look good to me, but I'd like to hear your opinions!

I look forward to your response!

Thanks!

They look good and terrible at the same time.

Mike, are they real and what do you mean they are bad? Is it because of the autos? 

Thanks!

Yes unfortunately Peter's health has severely deteriorated lately and all his signatures are suffering. Very difficult to justify his signing price for some of the scribbles you get back.

I agree with Mike, they are real, but pretty ugly, and that is being kind because Peter never had a nice graph, these are just the result of his age and the fact that he has been signing as a main source of income now for 20+ years....imagine how your work will look after having the same job for 20+ years.....you can possibly start to not really care, or even hate your place in the world. At the very least the gig might become tedious or boring.

Best advice I can offer is pick up what you absolutely must have now at shows, but hold off for older items to pop up for nicer samples.

Terrible is probably an unfair comparison considering what he has given out lately at $60 a pop:
