It's not unusual for authenticators to hold a key characteristic of a genuine autograph or a good forgery back so the forgers don't become too good too soon.

Heads it's authentic. Tails it's fake. Elvis Presley autographs are far too tainted to be sure. IMO there are no experts, only people who think they know.

For me the only expert maybe is Rich Consola... But repeat it's hard see if the signature of elvis is genuine or not... If the signature not have a story or is not on a important document, Rich Consola say always not real!

As I said before, I need to be about 90%+ sure before I part with my cash. 

Obviously, other people have lower thresholds. I couldn't buy a quantum autograph. Monday to Friday it's real and the rest of the week it's fake. 

I'm sure emotions take over and cloud their decision.

100% sure my friend not only 90%... Buy by a seller that give to you a life time guarantee...

I had a bank check signed by Elvis and i sold it because i didn't believe that the signature it were signed by him but maybe signed  by other people of his staff or signed by his father...

Let me see if I have understood correctly: You had a bank check signed by Elvis, but you thought it were a fake so you sold it? Is that correct?

Because if so, you knowingly sold a fake which is precisely the kind of thing we try to stop here at AML...

Or did you sell it as a staff signed item, and made sure that the buyer didn’t think it were a real Elvis signature?

Ok...

But at least to me this:

”i didn't believe that the signature it were signed by him but maybe signed  by other people”

sounds like you thought it were a fake and still sold it. Seems pretty fishy to me...
