Stefan is a good collector, but because he gets feedback from random people, many of which are probably new collectors, most of them can't tell a PP from an AP from a sec from an authentic and many think that anything they get is clearly real, so yeah, I wouldn't listen to feedback there.
I've been collecting for long enough to tell the difference, let alone you can say I studied by 'heart' many of the bigger actors who do and don't sign.
As I said before, if you choose to believe it or not it's up to you. I know that personally I'm too proud of my own collection to put a fake in it and when I get an autograph TTM the first thing I'll think is 'how can I prove it's real' rather than 'I hope no one proves it's fake'
Dear Joeay,
it's nice to see that there are other serious collectors out there who care as much as I do about enlighting new collectors regarding the issue of "authenticity".
When I received my first Joe Pesci secretarials 13 years ago I first thought they were authentic too since I hadn't studied Mr. Pesci's signature before due to the fact that I was still kind of new to collecting autographs.
But it's all about studying and learning and within the past 15 years I gained a lo of experience in the field of "authenticity".
However, new/young collectors still don't like to hear that what they get back is a PP/AP/Stamp/Secretarial since they believe in all stars to sign and simply don't have the experience and the knowledge to tell a a PP from an AP from a sec from an authentic signature. It might take them some time, maybe even some years to realise, but if they start collecting on a serious level they will soon find out the differences.
Best,
Stephan
