Harrison Ford: Just Want to Double Check

I'm about to drop some serious cash on a Harry Ford auto, and I just wanted to get a second opinion from my friends on here before doing so. I haven't studied his signature for too long, but it looks to me like a pretty well-pronounced textbook signature. The peculiarities (the zigzags after the H starting in an upward position instead of downward, a wider D than usual) seem to be a consistent peculiarity among known exemplars. I used images from Coolwaters and Official Pix signings for comparisson.

I'm sold on it, but whenever I spend a lot, I like to hear it from my buddies on here too! What do you think?

I like it JXE. I would have no problem adding this one to my collection. The only concern that I would have is the way that he crossed the end of his signature but I have seen authentic examples of him doing this on occasion. Keep us posted.

Wow, that didn't occur to me. Do you happen to have any exemplars that illustrate that cross? I did a quick scan after reading your post but I couldn't find one.

I do think I'm going to grab it. It looks just as nice, if not nicer than the ones that have come out of the private signings.

It is rare but I have seen it on authenticated Harrison Ford autographs before. Here is one currently being sold on eBay with a PSA LOA.

No problem. Like I said, I would have no problem adding this one to my collection.

I completely agree with Mike. I have a few Ford's in my collection and I would feel comfortable adding this(although I am not a big fan of Indiana Jones.)

If I may ask, how much are you spending on this?

It'll be just over $300. I don't think that's bad considering it's 11x14 and already PSAd. Plus, the ones in that size from the official signings ranged from $500-650 in that size, and Indy shots seem to be much rarer than Han shots. What do you think?

That's a little high. I just purchased a PSA Han 11x14 for $180. I highly suggest looking at Skyline Signature's ebay store for Ford autographs. He is willing to negotiate and is able to get Ford many times a year as he has inside connections to get him privately. I have dealt with him a few times and love everything I have purchased from him.

K9graphs is also another seller to go too who is also willing to negotiate. Just purchased a George Lucas signed photo that was listed at $200 for $85 from him.

They are great IP collectors and very highly recommended.

I am aware of both sellers and I have no problems with either seller's inventory. I know the price is on the high end, but I'm picky about the image, the size, and the style of autograph. I like the level of neatness to this one that isn't present on a lot of them outside of the signings. Factor in PSA's fee of $50 before shipping and I think it's worth paying a little more for something that meets all of my picky specifications.

The other Ford I own is an Official Pix 11x14 Han (one of the first 50 they did) and I remember that being almost $500.
