Well, I'm not even close to being an expert... Actually, I started collecting like 2 months ago... but when I started I read quite a bit about autographs and stuff.. so here's what I think

:
The pictures are pretty small, but they seem to be authentis to me. I doubt they could be ap or stamped 'cause there are no ink marks, lack of ink or dots on the start of each letter. Well, they could be secreterial or pp, but they look authentic to me.. I like to be optimistic {thumb2}

I stopped giving opinions a while ago, but this thread compelled me to reply.
A LOT of the first sellers stuff is fake, 25p for Will Smith? LMAO. Well known sellers can get away with low start prices, as they soon rise, but private sellers can't. If he was really selling his collection he'd put prices higher (unless hes an idiot). Maybe he bought a lot of them in good faith, but the majority of his A listers are likely fake. Keira's IP is usually short and sweet, and that one could be, but I dont think it is.
As for Emma Watson's, all I need to say is ->

(if the smilie doesnt make it obvious, I'm saying its a horrible, laughable fake)

I would stay away from both sellers.
Looking at their listings, especially the first seller, some of the stock is really a joke. Like for example their Angelina Jolie "IP". It's horrible.
Some of the stuff might be real, but even if their selling only a few fakes I would run the other way.
Just think about it this way too. If you would have IP autographs from these people, would you want to sell m that low? Or would you list 'm with any possible proof you have, date, location, pictures and try to get the big bucks?

Yeah, I agree.. If they have 1 autoraph that we agree is fake, who knows if the other one isin't also a fake, just well done..? Anyways, that's the problem with buying autographs..

The Knightley and Watsons are fakes, neither match IPs for the two.
