AutographWorld buys package deals from Newgraphs Inc, which means if you purchase from AutographWorld, you're essentially buying from Newgraphs Inc.
The problem I have with Newgraphs is that although pretty much all the autographs seem to be authentic by comparing them with in-person successes, their 'Exact' proof photos do not necessarly depict the item being signed. An example of this is found in "Samuel L. Jackson Signed Snakes on a Plane Photo Proof" and the Matt Damon signed Departed pics. If you look very closely and carefully, you can see the autographs from the proof picture is slighty off from the item listed, in-terms of certain loops or positioning of letters etc. It simply makes me wonder if the items are then authentic.
As for MindhunterUsa, he supplies proof photos on his personal website, which shows him with many celebrities on multiple occasions. His autographs also do appear to be authentic when comparing them with in-person examples. But, whether or not they are is up in the air.
If you are really interested in a certain autograph, keep finding different sources to compare it to until feel sure it could be real. I do know people whom have purchased items from both these dealers but always remember: Buyer beware! Hope this helps a bit.
