Yes, if the prints are from 1911 and the ink is from 1911, then they are probably good. Do you know anyone who tests ink on autographs prior to selling them? If you were a forger, you wouldn't try to duplicate the aging/fading of the ink to match some of the commons that you were slipping your high-$ items in with? ![]() Also, take a few minutes and look at all of the commons - the aging/fading/whatever you want to call it, differs among them. My guess would be that most, if not all, are authentic. But the Matty and Jackson? …they match each other pretty well and are crystal-clear. And we have seen plenty of forgeries where the 'experts' thought the ink 'looked' vintage.

Scott, Is there a way to test the ink for how old it is? I realize something like this would most likely be expensive but for one of the rarest autos out there I believe the piece of mind would be worth whatever it cost.

Ink testing is quite expensive, thousands of dollars for one item. The test will only tell you when the ink was manufactured, not when it was placed on the paper. Old ink is available and can be obtained by anyone if they search for it. I was at an antiques/collectibles show in AC and saw a dealer with a pyramid of old unopened ink bottles.

I know TPA's have there goods and bads but could PSA get all of these wrong? I think with the value of these autographs the would have looked at them a hundred times over would they have not found something wrong if they were fake? Richard, What are your thoughts about it? Has anyone here been up close to the items and seen them in person? I would like to see this be real but like everyone else have alot of questions and doubt. Can anyone prove that her husband got these photos out and looked at them all the time?

We should start a thread about 'most convincing stories about expensive autographs that turned out to be bullshit'. I think you would be amazed at all the sweet little old ladies and wonderful loving grandfathers, who somehow had their items switched out at some point for forgeries. Maybe it was while they were in the barn?

The goal is to sell this stuff to deep-pockets boys who don't frequent our board. As long as the item is 'believable' to them, that is all that counts. If the AH voices enough faith in the item via their advertising and catalogs (and 'expert' TPAs ![]()

I don't care what the "experts" say. They each have a dog in this fight.
The Jackson and Mathewson are bad. (isn't it amazing? The two most valuable signatures (by far!) don't look anything like they should.) |
