Authenticity is Everything
Early Harry Potter Trio Autos? Real or Rubbish?
Hey all,
I went night scrolling through the bay and came across this while looking at some other signed storyboards. As a kid-teen during the HP movie years this is a dream addition if it’s real.
Unfortunately, with the morning came some doubts about the details.
Daniel’s signature seems close enough with early auto examples. Emma’s gets into the territory of “I guess if she wasn’t really practiced with signing yet/was in a hurry I can see how that turned out like that”. Rupert is where I get nervous. There’s elements of what his signature evolved into, but the weird trail at the end of the R and the sloppiness of the swoosh sort of thing underneath has me nervous.
I ran it past both the PSA and Beckett $10 quick check options, and both came back as “Likely not genuine/Unlikely to pass” but after some reading around it sounds like those can be taken with a grain of salt if you’re submitting stuff off the beaten path.
When I inquired about the letter from the production team person I was told “per the request of the crew member, we do not list the members' letter or information online, however we have sold several of the similar items over the last 10 years from him & everyone has been very happy w/ the purchases.” which makes me nervous if it’s just going to be a nobody camera op or something.
So, I came here. It could just be that a bunch of 10/11 year olds didn’t have a signing process yet because their big movie hadn’t even been released yet. It could also be a total fake that some guy has been pushing out of his collectibles store in Ohio for a decade to print money. As much as I want to blissfully accept the first case, it’s going to keep gnawing at me.
Sorry if this was super lengthy. It’s my first post on here. Whether good news or bad hopefully you can help put me at ease here and I can either go get a nice frame of start working on a return process.
thanks!

Matt, I have an in person Emma Watson from the first movie where she also signed her characters name….In my humble opinion….yours is net even close….as per Eric….no to Rupert and Daniel's is too neat.

Yeah, this all seems to be panning out to a big whiff on my part. No more eBay after 10pm for me anymore. Or if I do, I’ve got to do significantly more research before pulling the trigger.

Matt, Just the very early Watson signature with character name alone on a card should nock down $750 on its own…..very scarce….not rare but scarce.

Rare? Scarce? This seller says they are "Historic"!

A possible William Shakespear Watson that was not burned?

The seller has sold 8 in the last month - all with Best Offers. That is a red flag so big that it would please Putin. Always investigate your seller. Had you seen 8 I don't believe you'd have sent an Offer.

Oy.
I went through feedback and even looked up the store attached to the account on google, but for some reason it didn’t dawn on me to look at the recently sold.
At least I didn’t end up with one signed by “Hermone”.

Unless this name really shakes anything up for anyone I’m gonna pull the plug.

That letter is authentic B.S.

Yeah, I pretty much reiterated that I’d like to proceed with a refund, hope he understands my position and if he feels he needs to block me once the refund has processed it is what it is.
