Signed copies of The Steps by Sylvester Stallone?
Does anyone know anything about signed copies of The Steps by Sylvester Stallone being available in the UK? Many thanks!

Saw that video, authentication doesn't work that way though. There were no clear signatures in that video.
I did find one from another video in 2025. He continued on to sign a full signature. Here is the Sly part

Thanks Jason, I hadn’t seen that. At least the first part does look similar to some of the books signatures (style three that I had documented).

Hi Pedro… I can’t speak for everyone here, but I think opinions have been mixed overall. I know some folks are comfortable with them while others have serious concerns.
It seems like almost all of the signatures fall into one of several different styles. Some of the styles / examples appear to resemble some of his known signatures while others seem more questionable IMO.
We’re taking a look at the examples so far under this thread if you are interested:

These will always be inconclusive to me. I've been collecting autographs for almost 25 years and it's extremely rare I get one that leaves me as indecisive as this one does. I was waiting with baited breath for my copy, so this is a disappointing outcome.

Dont you think they look real? I feel like the only thing thats desapointing is the fact that it is not a full signature. I think i find plenty similarities with the first part of his authenticated full signatures

Celebrities (or anyone for that matter) don't usually deviate from their known signature style unless to shorten it.
Having multiple versions from one release just seems weird to me. However, I am no Stallone expert.. This is just a generalization for all autographs signed within the same period from one person. Celebrities usually stick to one style at that time of signing even if over a span of a few weeks. This isn't 100% fact though.. there are always exceptions.
We need more in person examples from Stallone signing in a similar way to this short signature release. Why does he always sign full name in person on video even now? He's pretty slow at signing in general.. seriously, too many question marks.

great points Jason. i also find the explanation that Sly started signing 2 years earlier so he could get everything signed in time, not very believable putting it mildly for a $30 copy of his book

A lot of questions, I agree. I usually deal with sports autographs and through the mail ones. You might on occasion see a player change their autograph from what it looked like right after they were drafted, but that's about it.
I generally get ones back that are dead ringers compared to examples on pack inserted signed cards. Players who use ghost signers or stamps are well known in the ttm hobby.
I just don't know what to make of these signed books. I have a number of other signed books (different people) that I'm one thousand percent confident about.
