Is this a fake Walter Johnson.

coa by Authentic Autographs Unlimited signed by Drew Max of Pawn Stars.
I have to believe it is not real, whats your opinion on this.

That actually looks pretty solid to me. Does Dru get every one wrong?

Shale,
Do you have any clue as to when this postcard was allegedly signed?

[toyman55]

The seller shows the postcard dated and stamped on the back at 1909 but that doesn't mean that was signed then. I have doubts this is real.

I have doubts about it being real as well. There are some inconsistentcies in this sig that I do not see in my exemplars. It should also be noted that vintage postcards seem to be the common medium being used by forgers these days. This is absolutely not Walter's signature from 1909, FWIW.

I usually have differing opinions with the TV star and I have a differing opinion on this one too.
The upward tilting of the Johnson () is harsh and obvious. The slow handwriting is obvious.
Hank Thomas are you there?
Shame to ruin a nice picture on a vintage postcard.

As Dave would say from Storage Wars on if he thinks this is NOT real, the answer in "YUUUUUUUP"

So I see ebay wised up and pulled this item off the sold and sent emails to anyone who bid not to buy off ebay on this.
