I think some celebs like Walken sign across the face on the photo to make it less desirable to sell , wouldnt surprise me. With Pacino at best youll get a sloppy "Al"
That doesn't mean as much as you might think. Some players change their signatures over the years...Mickey Mantle being one of the most prominent. If you look at an early Mantle signature & compare it with a late one...they are not the same. Bo Jackson is still alive. The bat signature engraved at the factory and his current signature may not necessarily be identical.
Almost never. I can only think of one exception. Ronald Reagan used a secretary to answer his fan mail in the 40s and 50s. The secretary turned out to be his mother, so her "fakes" are still worth more than zero. The major problem is that her handwriting was almost identical to his, which means that a lot of stuff signed by her gets passed off as the real thing.
Once they said it was "authenticated in 1999" I was hoping it was from those dudes who ran that scam. And it was. Got that old man shutting up really quickly. Didn't even look up the name before bringing it in.
All of my autographs I know are authentic because I have gotten them from meet and greets and merch stands at concerts. We're talking: Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, Bruce Kulick, Eric Singer, Brian May, Alice Cooper, Jon Bon Jovi, Steven Adler, Ozzy Osbourne, Toni Iommi, Geezer Butler, Michael Hutchence, Andrew - Tim - and John Farriss, Kirk Pengilly, Gary Beers, Marlon - Jermaine - Tito - and Jackie Jackson
The last 10 yrs he refused to sign autographs , there was an incident in '77 and he refused to sign , ironically the person wanted his co stars signature , Ali whatshername.....mustve been a blow to his ego
Bo jackson autograph is never the same. I've collected a few auto cards and I personally got a black mlb ball autographed at frank and sons show. He signed it completely different from the cards I had.
The guy at 3:38 seems to assume that the rules that apply to your normal signature also apply when you're generating one that's a foot and a half long.
its not "exactly" it would then simply be a tracing and might be a forgery. This could be done by using the internet to find an authentic signature and then trace it. The individual characteristics is what they are looking at for authentication. No two signatures that are authentic are not "exact" but they a similar enough. The authenticator needs to be relied upon for such evaluations not the general public, that is why we have services for authenticating everything that is of possible monetary value.
Keep in mind when you are in that business, especially today, your signature is a part of you, and alot of people practice it to be consistent, every signature might be a little different, but most authenticators are looking for key characteristics that are hard to miss, like the missing Tbar on the Steve McQueen autograph
Appraised for 48,000 by four experts. Pawn Star expert says it's fake because he wants the owner to trash it right there so he can dig it out and get paid.
Off-topic, but I remember reading a story back from 2012 or 2013 about the expert who examined the Babe Ruth glove & bat actually pass a Babe Ruth autograph as legit not that long after that ep & I don't even want to think about how much Rick lost on that deal
You know it's a fake when the disgraced authenticator that is known for validating forged signatures, says it isnt legit I don't understand why the pawn stars channel is still posting videos involving a fraud authenticator to be honest...
I hate to tell the Babe Ruth seller this but everybody has heard of Babe Ruth. Even none baseball fans know who the Big Bambino is. That's why The Babe is a baseball icon.
I own a handful of autographed items and all but one of them are items I witnessed the person signing it.The one that I didn't was a Wildwing mask autographed by Teemu Selanne; I won it in a silent auction at a game between the Ducks and the Panthers.
Signatures are such an unreliable proof of identity. Before I had a card and pin, I was unable to get into my bank account for months because my signature never matched.
Hahaha that one lady with the Wagner def signed that her self it's always the ppl that are like I'll keep it as a reminder to everyone to watch out for all the fakes out there! Haha
Wasn't the guy on here with the fake Babe Ruth autograph on here before with something that was counterfeit? Dude just needs to quit buying fake stuff.😂
One of the signature verifiers in this video are completely clueless. got themselves arrested at a convention labeling real autographs as fakes, as in they got violent when a guy who turned out to be a police officer came back after realizing it was not a fake autograph and Becket got threathening/violent. the wagner autograph could be real basically.
The guy with the babe ruth bat and glove probably took it to an auction house and they wouldn't accept it. Which is why he got defensive when Rick wanted to bring in someone to authenticate it. He knew they were fakes from the get go and wanted to pass the loss on to some other guys

Has anyone ever compared there own signatures... none of mine ever look the same!
I make it a point to never to sign the same
yeah but the letters you always make them the same way. you dont have 2 way of making a letter.
My letters very a lot depending on how much attention i was giving it, how fast I was going, if I was tired, ect.
Exactly
I have crap handwriting so they can never verify mine.
If I ever become famous I'm signing my name different every time just to mess with authenticators.
I do that now to confuse my boss

“Fake autographs that were worthless.”
Since when is a fake autograph worth anything?

The major problem is that her handwriting was almost identical to his, which means that a lot of stuff signed by her gets passed off as the real thing.
Beatles printed sigs
it means the item may had their own value but due to fake signature, its make the item no value. see 3:55
@@notthatyouasked6656 That makes perfect sense - signatures by Ronald Reagan's mother would have some value on their own.
Once they said it was "authenticated in 1999" I was hoping it was from those dudes who ran that scam.
And it was. Got that old man shutting up really quickly. Didn't even look up the name before bringing it in.
You forgot the "shoeless" Joe Jackson autograph that Rick scooped up without checking on first. That was the worst buy I've ever seen.
Rick actually bought that. This is for signatures they turned down after finding out they were fake.
Apparently to be a “signature” Authenticator you need a iPad with google images 😂
thats how you compare known examples to a new item

How else will you compare signatures? 🧐🤨
