Authenticity is Everything
Are these Babe Ruth, Gehrig, Presidential, Monroe, etc...autographs real?
I was looking through some older autograph offerings from a known dealer and I saw a few autographs listed from stars and celebs that have been talked about here. So, It made me wonder, are these items that were sold in the past real?
Here are the scans.

It looks somewhat similar to the one recently sold by Christie's, complete with the "Cheers" inscription.

and that one wasn't real either

It seems kind of odd though, doesn't it? Why did the forger make it appear so unusual, and how did it end up being sold on three separate occasions by a major auction house? Did Christie's accept it a second and third time solely based upon the initial opinion?

If the item "has been authenticated by numerous experts in regards to Marilyn Monroe," why aren't they listed by name? If an "expert" does not want his/her name mentioned, I would immediately question the alleged expertise of that person. In my opinion, this photograph was not signed by Marilyn Monroe.

I have no idea personally, I just wanted to show these here and see what the opinions of these older offerings are.
there are bunch of other catalogues from the same dealer that are full of similar items.

I don't think the Jim Morrison and Marilyn Monroe are real, but I don't know the others. The Monroe is a very common forgery. It's the most common one you see in the forgery galleries in Vegas, offered by American Royal Arts...the usual suspects.

Wow. O.K. Wonder when they 1st started showing up?

I don't know. We didn't start examining forgery distribution channels until 2007, so I'm late in the game. Roger can tell you more on music forgeries and John Reznikoff on historical and classic entertainment. For sports, Richard Simon would be a good one to ask.
