SOME, but not ALL look good. West, Ward, and Meriwether do the autograph show circuit so chances are they're real.
However some of the ones from the people that have passed on don't look right, like the Burgess Meredeth.
Also I'm leary of the price. It is way too low for such a piece. And the sellers rating is not tha good. In the ebay seller market 97.8% is not that good. I would pass on this one.

Most of the signatures look good. Definitely leaning towards authentic here. But I do agree with Bud, some of those signatures might have been hard to get as some of the actors have passed away, but the piece may have been completed years ago. I would ask for some more info about how/when these particular signatures were obtained.
As for the price, there's a reserve on it. $99,- is only the starting bid, so who knows what they want for it. Most of the negative feedback they got are for non delivery of items, so it's up to you how you feel about that with this seller.

Some of them look spot on, others not so much. Lee Meriwether's sig looks questionable to me (at least, it doesn't look like my TTM success). Vincent Price looks close, as does the Burgess Meredith (looks like a later-in-life sig).
I wouldn't risk it.

I ran this item by a friend of mine who wrote a book on Vincent Price; here's what she said:
"99% no.
first, he NEVER didn't write on a straight line.
second, the "c" in "Vincent" should look just like an "e." The stupid people at Citadel WHITED OUT the crossmark in Price's sig in the first edition of my book because they thought it was a mistake.
The "V" is a good fake, and the "P" also, but I would bet it's no good."

Looks authentic and Price's signature is 'spot on.' But I wouldn't risk it.

that's a HORRIBLE Vincent Price forgery. his signature was always neater than that, even towards the end of his life. as a collector of Vincent Price memorabilia, I'd advise you not to get this item.
Burgess Meredith's signature was always "plain" and easy to be forged. I'm very skeptical of Burgess autographs, which is exactly why I haven't purchased one yet.
