Authenticity is Everything

Superman piece signed by Kirk Alyn, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegal - real or fake?

Another Trade Me piece from here in New Zealand of which I am highly suspicious of - http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=664653351

Any Superman fans or experts please can you let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Dan

This discussion has been started by a person who claims to be an expert in New Zealand. He trades under the non-de-plume of happytobehere, and has prices such as NZ$957.50 for Kylie Minogue photos. http://www.trademe.co.nz/music-instruments/music-memorabilia/other/...

An expert? I doubt it VERY much.

Im bemused as to the writers 'suspicions', or is he merely attempting to cast dispersions of a possible competitor. Usually keyboard 'warriors' such as this have their own agendas.

Im also interested in the writers forensic qualifications, and experience? Does being a member of UACC qualify one to make judgements and opinions, and then express them on a public forum? Im not so sure....

I am in no way associated to the seller you name Steve. I do not sell items at present but collect and look out for anything local that is questionable and have contributed to this forum for some time with many items.

I can only guess by your location and the fact you just joined up that you are indeed the seller of this Superman item?

The item does not look authentic and I was asking for opinions. Please feel free to prove me wrong on this but it looks suspicious and unlike signatures of the individuals on the item.
