Another way to tell

Another way to tell if your autograph is real is to smell it, usually with sharpies there is a strong scent to it when smelt up close.

That's what I tried to say as wellSmith wrote:John Talvota is Sec fact. Anybody that disagrees is just blind. He said years ago he did not sign TTM and it is clearly his sister signing for him. But im sure people will still believe its him signing.
How does that prove its real though, as opposed to secretarial?autographgirl wrote:Another way to tell if your autograph is real is to smell it, usually with sharpies there is a strong scent to it when smelt up close.

Nope that doesn't mean it's authentic. Well, if the text matches the signature, then it's probably authentic (or could be secretarial as well) but in many cases the text/personalisation doesn't match the signature which is probably a secretarial inscription to a PP or AP.Emiley wrote:Wow, thanks for the information on that! Really helped. Also, if you get an autograph and it's basicly personalized like.. "Hey (insert name here)! Thanks for the letter. Love, (insert celebrity n ame here)"
You can basicly tell it's real right? Because it is personalized.. =/
Please dont recommend this site, they are awful. There are many lawsuits against them, and they've even authenticated PREPRINTS as authentics!!DTP wrote:There is a GREAT service out there who authenticates services, although it is somewhat costly depending on whose signature you send in to have authenticated. The service is PSA/DNA, a division of Collector's Universe. I've bought dozens of PSA/DNA authenticated items and they are by reputation #1 in authenticating signatures. PSA/DNA items typically go for a premium because of their solid reputation. Their sports card grading service is a great service I've used for years, and I think the company is top-notch. You can find out more info by visiting http://www.psadna.com. When you visit the site, you may be under the impression it's only for sports-related memorabilia, but they authenticate EVERYTHING. I have PSA/DNA items of several actresses and other people besides athletes. Check it out.
