Thank you!..  do you know if I’ll be able to speak with someone about it or they’ll just email me saying “yay or nay”.. I ask because they don’t have a phone number or email to contact them so 

i tried PSA and Beckett online review service and they both said it was “unlikely to pass authentication”.. they did not give me any reason of why and they both ask for me to mail the picture and have them take a close look..

i just don’t want to be in the same scenario

Typically for the $10 online opinion, you are not going to get an analysis. Frankly,. I think it's bad, but this is not my area of specialty. One clue is that full signatures like this with character names added... that HAS to be from a sit down private signing. They don't sign like this on the street. So this piece should be expensive and come with paperwork. If it doesn't, that is a huge red flag.

If Beckett  and PSA both gave it a thumbs down, the piece is toast. Even if by some freak chance it was authentic, avoid items that will fail the major TPAs. 

Next tip: don't fall in love with a piece until you know it's real. Great pose with nice looking sigs... the scammers are counting on you suspending disbelief and biting down on the hook.
