Al Pacino autographs are virtually impossible to authenticate.  The James Earl Jones and David Prowse autographs are typical.  The Daisy Ridley autograph also appears to be pretty typical to me.

The Mark Hamill and Frank Oz autographs contain both atypical and typical characteristics.  My biggest concern is that they appear to have been signed with the same writing instrument.

Alright guys thanks for the help. Was just making sure you guys didn't see any blatant forgeries from what I showed you. Of course some aren't the best examples but I could care less. Also, though I don't really have anymore room for stuff on my walls. Was just making sure I didn't get ripped off.

I am not familiar with any of those autographs.  Let's wait to see what other members have to say about them.  You may also consider adding a new discussion that contains the names of those celebrities in the title.  Good luck Samuel.

There are no blatant red flags that I can see.  Only a few minor concerns that typically come with the territory.  If you trust the dealer and are happy with your purchases I see no reason why you should not continue to enjoy your collection.

Pete has already told me the following for the Keira Knightley Display in an earlier discussion from awhile back. 

"There is no way for PSA or any company to authenticate Keira's latest version of her autograph. That's all you get is the start of a K. She has been signing that way now for about 5 years. I stopped after she dropped to a single K, these are authentic samples from 1999 to about 2007.I think the shot you linked to is likely authentic, but when she is in essence giving a checkmark, you can't really authenticate that with paperwork." 

So I went ahead and bought it. 

As far as the Uma Thurman Display from looking at alot of various examples of her autograph in person or authenticated by either JSA or PSA/DNA, the one I have is authentic. Most of the time she will sign her U's either the formation of the two ends of them will be the same height or a little off on the left side and the right side will be longer although there are times where the U will look like a V but it isn't really common, when she signs her M usually it will go over the lines again off a little bit to the left the last curve of the M usually goes straight up at an angle to form the A, sometimes it connected sometimes it's not then there are other times there is no A. As for the last part is usually either a line down like an "i" with no dot and then above that it's an arch that get's formed into a small little "m" then trails off into a straightish line. There are times the "M" won't overlap again on the lines in Uma. Some of the time the beginning of the arch in the last part of her graph which is supposedly "Thurman" the first line down will sometimes overlap.

From looking at mine they have these characteristics, so I'm confident that mine is authentic.  

Here are Authentic samples of Uma's Graph. 

She did used to sign her name in full but I haven't found much of those. Then there are the 4x6 index cards she has signed Uma T. which I've seen also. But of course when I'm looking at these, I'm trying to find characteristics of her graph very common ones of course. The last one to me looks good but seems very rushed which is why it's all connected.

I would trust Pete's opinion.  Based on this discussion the autographs appear to be safe additions to your collection.

Which is were their stock comes from. You can get stuff framed by them then sent back to you and they supply their COA with it. I'm just wondering if either of you guys have ever sent something overseas or something like that to get framed?
