Walt Disney

Hi, Does this Walt Disney signature look legit? The COA is signed by J.H. Brett of Autograph Authentication Services of Carrollton, TX. Thank you for your time.

Yes, that’s authentic. I would just make sure it’s not a color copy of the original signed check (I have seen a few framed up pieces where the signed check is a quality color copy of the original but being sold as reproduction). If the price is too good to be true, then I would think it could be reproduction piece, but if price seems right, then it should be good. I used to own a similar signed check with this nice fountain pen signature. Sadly I sold it a decade ago and they have gone up in price so much more since then.

It's a copy. John Brett (J.H. Brett) is a well-known seller of fakes. His business is America's Memories. He pretty much has any autograph you want--If you don't know how to protect yourself--including several Disneys, including this Disney/Babe Ruth signed page for $3,995.

Wow...I just took a look. Those forgeries on that site are so blatant.

There's also a neat little trick going on where, if you want to see the closeup of a given "autograph", it's like looking through a gauzy filter. I'm assuming this is so you can't get a precise idea of what it looks like.
