Looking at purchasing a package of autographs from someone, this is what he claims is an authentic IP Harrison Ford auto. The price seems to be too good to be true. I have also contacted PSA/DNA to get their opinion.

What do you think?
I would want to take a look at the whole package before deciding, but this looks like a plausible rushed authentic IP. Ask him/her about where/how (s)he got it.
I have heard others say that PSA/DNA has not been very reliable recently. Based on personal experience, I have seen them authenticate items signed by people whose autographs are in my opinion inauthenticatable. (For example Casey Affleck, who does a whole variety of C's and CA's etc. that look very different from one another.)
I actually just received a reply from PSA/DNA, they simply said this:
"Response: "Likely Genuine"
Here are the details of your Request:
Comments: THE FRANK OZ AND ALEC GUINNESS ARE LIKELY NOT GENUINE

The deal seems too good to be true. I have attempted to contact the seller to ask if he offers any guarantees, that way I can send the whole package to PSA/DNA for authentication. Does anyone know if there would be any value is such a package?
It includes:
Carrie Fisher, David Prowse, Kenny Baker and Peter Mayhew autographed Darth Vader photo
Harrison Ford signed index card
Mark Hamill signed index card
Alec Guiness signed index card
James Earl Jones signed index card
Frank Oz signed index card
I've seen that Ford before somewhere, I'm sure I have...where are you buying from? (PM me if you dont want to post it publically, I have no interest in purchasing it)
I asked a few experts about this lot and they backed up my opinion that the photo was real, the Guinness and Jones pieces could be real but the Ford, Hamill and Oz cards look like fakes
