From the GFA website:
To properly authenticate a signature you must have numerous exemplars to do side by side comparisons. That is why at GFA we only authenticate a limited number of autographs and have experts specialized in these signatures.
I guess they have a forensic expert who specializes in Colm Meaney's autograph.
I wonder if they have someone who specializes in the signature of Phil Linz?
