Cast Signed Ghostbusters Poster

Hi everyone! I'm new on here and looking for your opinions on a piece that I just bought. I have just bought a cast signed Ghostbusters poster from Antiquities of California via their website. I have compared some of the signatures and they look alright from what I've seen, but then again I don't know anything about authenticating a signature.

This was a pretty expensive piece but I'm a huge fan and I've been looking for a real one for a long time. After doing some research on this website I have gotten a little weary about their authentications and was just wondering if you guys could help me out. I do want to stress however that so far their staff has been very kind and haven't given me a reason distrust them, but I feel that I should cover all of my bases. They claim that all of these signatures were done at the same time during a scheduled sitting.

I haven't received the poster yet so I will give you the pictures that I have, but I can post better ones in a few weeks when it comes in if needed.

Thanks for your opinions, this is a great web site!

Here is a Ghostbusters cast signed PSA/DNA item I recently got . There's so many fake GB cast signed items out there they are extremely rare. I've made mistake of making a few impulse buys before . It took me a few years to finally come across one that was authenticated by a reputable company. Bills in particular pretty much stays consistent overall.

Ok so for $10 I can get global authentics to do a digital review on this. I'm thinking that if they find it to be fake then it will give me a great argument to get my money back.
Does anyone else think this is a good plan of attack??

Is Antiquities of California owned by the same person who owns the shop at Caesar's in Las Vegas and caught up in the Jesse Jackson Jr scandal of possible forgeries? If so, based on that alone, I would be very troubled by your purchase.

I believe it is the same company involved in that Scandal

Yes.

Calling them "possible" forgeries may be very kind.

Poster is a clear fake. GA is useless. You don't have the item yet. Tell them you've changed your mind and demand a refund. If they wont refund, file a chargeback.

Changing my mind isn't a valid reason for a refund after I have paid. I didn't realize that global authentics wasn't a good service. Is there such thing as a company that can reliably give me there point of view on this?

Man if I were you I would call your bank then and file a dispute with the bank on the grounds that you bought fraudulent merchandise.

You won't get your refund with that kind of perspective. Be firm and tell them you changed your mind due to questionable authenticity. Or, you can waste more of your time and money trying to send it in to PSA and then begging them for a refund after the fact.

Brad if you'd like you can give me $10 to tell you they're fake, because they're obvious fakes 100% and you don't even have to know anything about ANY of the sigs to tell. These "cast signed" posters are a joke 99% of the time. I have exposed several "cast signed" scammers.

The seller knows it's garbage and will probably try and tell you some BS story, but you can just open a case on eBay and get your money back easily. Global Authentication is even more of a joke than this poster, a quick search on this site will verify that.
