How do you know its Authentic?

Unread post by JessieMac09 »

I am curious if there are easy signs to tell if an autograph is authentic or fake? For people who don't have such a trained eye as others, how do you know if the autograph you got is actually real or fake?

For instance I am going to write Alexander Skarsgard, Shemar Moore, Ghost Adventures, Alex O'Loughlin, and Scott Caan. How will I know their autographs are authentic?

Thanks!
Successes: Orlando Bloom, Ryan Gosling

Wanted: Shemar Moore, Chris Evans, Jensen Ackles, Garrett Hedlund, Ryan Reynolds, Alexander Skarsgard

Research. You can go on here & see what other people's opinions are. Go to places like autographworld.com & search and compare autographs on there from the ones you recieve. Every autograph there is authentic.

As far as I know Alexander & Scott sign authentically through the mail. I have a success from Scott.

Alex O' Loughlin signs authentically as well, if you are one of the lucky ones to hear from him.

Are you talking about my Chloe autograph? I got it from Autograph World. And no I'm sorry it's not for sale or trade. Thanks for the offer, though. :)

Just be careful doing that, because thats what I used to do and found many of the ones that pop up in Google Images, are people trying to sell autographs saying they are signed IP when indeed they are not, and they are fake.

Yeah because one autograph is authentic on a website it is always best to believe that all of them on there have to be authentic. :roll:

But unless it is signed in front of you there is no reason to believe that this company isn't just buying and selling autographs like most and don't know the actual source of the photo.

All of the autographs sold on Autograph World are authentic. So, not quite sure what you are getting at? They are a very reputable company & dealer.

The only ones that they buy from other people & resell are on the 'Signatures' part of Autograph World. You're wrong... again.
