Are these breaking bad autographs real?

Do these autographs seem legit?

I disagree. There is no way this is authentic. Aaron's signature is way too neat. Bryan's signature doesn't look right at all. The left bar on Bryan is semi detached. The "ranston" formation if off. Bryans "a" and s" are more circular whereas here, they are pointy is not formed at all. Poor forgeries. Not sure why you thought this was authentic, Rob. We all make mistakes, no shame in it. But I would be happy to teach you the ways of BB signatures. I have been studying them since 2010.

i just look at the flow of the signatures and that does look good to me ''maybe when the autographs come closer to study i could be wrong but at this moment i have no doubts'' i also have a complete collection of breaking bad and several cranston's and one framed in mine office and i just took a photo from that one and post it with this reply.

I believe it’s authentic. I’ve been looking at a ton of different samples of authentic autographs, and it seems over different time periods his autograph has changed slightly. I’ve seen examples authenticated by both Beckett and JSA that look nearly identical to this.

Cranston's signature over the course of his Breaking Bad career stayed the same. His earlier works signature varied, but still didn't look anything like the one you posted to this forum. Even if you saw an earlier signature from Cranston on a BB photo, that would also indicate a forgery. I'm sorry to say it, but it's fake. I know you want it to be real, and that is something we all want to believe, but after studying this guy for 10 years and seeing over 1000 examples, I don't believe this to be real. I believe this is a forgery. I'm sure other collectors will agree with me on this forum. Just wait for them to chime in.

Rob,

The Cranston you pictured is completely different from the on the OP posted. Look at the formation of letters in the last name. The "B' in Bryan is completely wrong in the OP. The one you pictured is authentic though. If you both think it's authentic, all the power to you, but it's not real. Good attempts that may fool novice collectors, but It doesn't fly with me.

the one i posted does come from a in person autograph collector and he let psa-dna give them their opinion to stay stronger than only a story or photo proof from far away that is no proof at al. i understand what you are trying to say but not one autograph of bryan is signed the same way but this is only mine opinion from what i see on ebay and dealer sites.maybe you could post several in person autographs of bryan to let us see where to look at. best from rob.

I have no issue with the Cranston autograph you posted. That is without a doubt, absolutely authentic. It's a complete contrast the Cranston the OP posted though. Completely different hand signed that one.

I fully agree with Harald, the two Cranston's posted are very different. The one you posted Rob is authentic no question, the one originally posted is not. I do not know the other signature but usually if one is fake, both will be fake

The Aaron Paul signature in the OP's photo is horrid as well, no doubt. Signatures are also the same size and signed on the same angle. Again, done well enough to fool novice collectors of BB, but I have seen them all. There is also a forger of BB autographs who lives in Philadelphia. This forger's stuff has passed PSA and JSA from time to time. It's always a nice thing to see people posting here for opinions.
