Do you think that this is real? Notice the user has 100% positive feedback.

Thanks,

Very hard to say mate.

SMG's signature would be ridiculously easy to fake. And the 'buy it now' price seems very low for a 'genuine' of her's.

Also note that the seller does not appear to be a member of an 'official' body like the UACC.

In short, I would lean towards it NOT being real, but thats just my opinion.

Hi acwilliams :D

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think this is authentic.

She's a really hard person to get an autograph off.

Cheers nowandagain and cowboys. I understand the points you make about the buy now price and the fact that no official body membership is mentioned, but this is the only one I can afford until pocket money rolls in! :wink:

Hi acwilliams {thumb2}

I agree with nowandagain & cowboys! I'm not 100% sure whether it's geniune or not, but considering The Buy It Now Price is only £8.00, I believe you'd want more money than that if it was authentic as, like nowandagain said, SMG's autograph is very difficult to obtain.

Also, it doesn't show how they obtained the autograph whether it was TTM or In Person. As, I haven't seen SMG sign authentically sign through the mail for A LONG time, I'd say if it is real, it would be obtained In Person, & therefore the seller would surely tell you a little bit about where SMG signed the autograph, and the date etc. However, they haven;t, they've just stated that it's an 8x10 glossy photo.

So in short, I'm not 100% sure but, I'd say that it's probally not. Just my opinion though!

Hi acwilliams {up}

Sorry, but I would say this is 99.9% a fake :?

If you compare it with this preprint which (infrequently) turns up you will see what I mean.

Also if you look at the seller's other items, a lot of the BIG celeb autos are being sold as copies. With what we know about the rarity of SMG's autographs it seems unlikely that a genuine would sell for £8 !!!!!!
