I may be acquiring these from a friend, and was curious to know if they're authentic. Both signatures seem like they'd be easy to forge. Not sure if you're able to tell form these pictures or not; the Stiller and Allen came from AutographWorld; not that I don't trust the guy, I just want to see what some of you experts think

It's a definite no on the Robert De Niro, but the Ben Stiller matches mine, so I'm leaning towards saying yes to it. I can't comment on the Tim Allen though.

That's really disappointing on the De Niro. Are you sure there's no possibility of it being real? Not that I don't trust what your saying, but I guess it's just the dissapointment

I'm very confident in saying that the De Niro is fake. I mean, some other members on here may disagree with me, but I've seen his autograph so many times as he's my all-time want, and I've never seen an authentic signature of his which matches the link you've posted.

I'm definitely dissapointed; I was exciting that I was getting a De Niro :cry:

A def no on the de niro.
His autos are most of the time just two wavy lines. Not readable though...

Heres an authentic example http://www.toppixautographs.com/rodeni-rabua.html

Hope I could help.

Plus, you can see that that the graphs used the same pen pressure and slant. Which would be impossible if more than one person signed the poster.

On a multiple signed item, it is really helpful to analyze the most basic traits of the autographs before you even worry about comparing them to authentic examples. In this case it would invalidate the piece immediately with no need of discussion about comparisons to authentic examples.

I hope this helps.
