I'm not sure about variations in his signature over the years, but the Anthony Daniels autograph looks quite different than what I've seen in recent years. It does not look like the two I got from him last year.

Cheers buddy! The Anthony Daniels is a duo on an 8x10 with Peter Mayhew. It was from a very large, respectable and well-known US autograph company (as was Johnny Depp) so I'll be in contact with them just to be sure.

Well, just for reference.  Here are the links to the two Daniels autographs I got last year:

Correct Rich.  That looks nothing like Anthony Daniels' autograph.

Tippi is spot on for sure, that's legit. Same with Hopper in my opinion. The Nicholson I'm just not feeling personally and there are way too many Doris Day secretarial signatures out there. Your Addams family piece looks like it is signed by the same person to me, I really don't like it either. I've got a few Julia's in my collection and the one in your scan looks way, way off from any I own and others I've seen. In my opinion it's definitely a forgery. Can't speak to too many others. Hope that helps.

I figured I'd post some of the ones I got many many years ago. Just goes to show forgers were probably running amok before even Ebay started!! Anyway, thanks guys, it all helps and very much appreciate your time and views.

Hahaha... Now THAT would just be too fantastic, however, it IS quite possible. I'm not really sure of too much of my background other than the "white" surname "Pratt" was given to a great great grandfather of mine who was a North Dakota Sioux chief who eventually left/escaped America and ended up marrying a Welsh lady and down the line from them... comes me. How close that might be to "Boris Karloff" I wouldn't have the faintest, but it would certainly be one of the most TRULY FANTASTIC revelations to me, like you, also a classic horror fan! :)

It'll think the Raul Julia and Angelica Huston are by the same hand, and the Jack Nicholson looks too neat for his sig! The rest seem ok to me. Best wishes!

Whenever I see Johnny Depp in silver I assume autopen.  For years he used an autopen to sign every photo that was sent to him by mail.

I will only comment on the autographs I know well.

I  have serious concerns about the following autographs:

Anjelica Huston

Vincent Price

Fay Wray

Jack Nicholson

Daniels/Mayhew

The Hedren has some areas of concern too, such as the way the birds are drawn.

I don't know the others enough to comment. You did the right thing by asking on here before selling.

the Jack Nicholson and Anthony Daniels/Peter Mayhew are no good.

It's interesting to note which signatures most people have concerns about as they have almost ALL come from big reputable industry dealers, who I won't name, however, when questioned, were quite quick to defend themselves and asked for names and credentials of the people questioning them... suck as myself. It's all a bit of a farce really and to be honest, no one seems to know really anything. I guess that's the fun of it all :o
