Authenticity is Everything
STUDY: Jerry Lee Lewis - TTM real or not real
Steve asked me to start a new thread since some were having a lot of issues with regards to whether or not the through the mail autographs of Jerry Lee Lewis are real or not. I will post some examples of what we have been getting recently and some know in person examples. These TTM signatures are not cheap. You have to pay $50 for them to his box office box. The question is are they real or not. Roger has said that he has never seen Mr. Lewis sign this way and it looks to perfect - like a woman's signature.
Please post your thoughts here and examples.
thanks
Mark

there is no better evidence of that, Sidney, than the book signatures themselves. They are all the same and look nothing like known JLL in person examples. Of course, that is just this amateur's opinion.

They aren't "all the same." They differ in ways that you would expect from authentic JLL signatures.

Maybe to you, but they don't differ in ways that I would expect.

Agreed - Terrier8HOF and Steve. All the book signatures look the same and written by the same hand. They do not match any know in person signature or contract signature. As all stated before.

Should we be concerned that the Bob Dylan signed artwork isn't authentic?

A perfect example of how a business should be is Bob Dylan. Bob has by far the most inconsistent signature of ANY music celebrity I have ever studied.Bob decided to market his artwork and signed harmonicas for Hohner and EVERY single signed item looks the same. They are perfect and consistent signatures on EVERY item he has sold...

No. They look like Dylan signed them.

Does the JSA authenticated 45 signature a few pages back look like JLL signed it?

Which one is that?

That one looks like almost anyone could have signed it.

Does that include JLL?

If it was signed in recent years, Ballroom, I would be very surprised if JLL signed it. His recent in-person signatures are not smooth and flowing like this. And I doubt that it was signed by him years ago.
But I'm not a fan of considering this signature for an authentication comparison. It was signed super-fast, abbreviated and with a worn-out marker.
That said....
The "J" and the "y" look like the books: what I believe to be Whitten secretarials. While most y's in the books I've seen don't have an upstroke from the bottom, many y's of JLLs attributed to Whitten do. At least an attempt at one. And they have that same shape with the upstroke retracing the downstroke at first. The upstroke rarely forms a loop like most considered genuine do, or ones many believe to be signed by JLL's wife.
The Lee and Lewis don't look like ones I've seen that I believe were signed by Whitten. But as I said, this was not a carefully signed signature like the ones in the books and it was signed with a fat marker.
Ballroom, I thought that in proper authentication, you're supposed to determine if the subject person very likely signed the autograph. Not the other way around: that they could have possibly signed it.
