Collecting and Collectibles in Other Areas => Autographs => Topic started by: Cinemania UK on February 14, 2010, 06:14:30 PM

some people collect signed posters,lets have a section for them.
-
one section for signed posters of all kind? one thread in each category for signed posters in that category? or, how about one thread for signed ephemera of all kinds including lobbies, stills, posters, letters, etc -- in other words, a thread dedicated to collecting signatures in general? A bit off the beaten path for this forum, but at the same time, I don't really care about sticking to the limits too tightly.
Thoughts, people?
-
How about a section for "other film memorabilia" to include autographs of all kinds, props, replicas, scripts, etc.

(How about a section for "other film memorabilia" to include autographs of all kinds, props, replicas, scripts, etc.)
I think that is a great idea, as I for one collect all kinds of film items. Just the one section and see how it goes.
Here's a couple of Autographs just for the crack.
-
I collect autographs too, so this section would be used a lot by me. I also collect other film items such as trailers and a few odds and ends (scripts, sheet music etc.).

talking of autographs... i got sir Alex Fergusons sig yesterday... stayed at the same hotel as United in london! :P
well chuffed.. great guy
-
After conferring with the Bosses (that would be the Napoleons residing in my alternate universe), a new section has been created to be all inclusive of other areas of collecting. There's a separate board for autographs of all kind as suggested and requested. This thread is being moved there.
Let's see some of those autographs. It'll be good to have something to refer to when people might want to do an on-the-fly comparison.

This one seems to be legit (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150433778313) but who really knows if the poster is original and/or the sigs are legit:

I think this one is fake as hell. A lot of times I see fake sigs they are multi colored.
-
Fake as hell. I already posted about how the 2 signed PF one sheets on here had different looking sigs. Well, here is Uma's autograph from the "authenticated" one sheet next to Agentprovocoteur's Kill Bill Vol 2 desert B1 autograph. He met her in person and watched her sign his poster. Anyone who buys a signed item on ebay is a moron.

Well, if you dig deeper into this auction - which I doubt any of you have - you see that the COA comes from Schani Krug (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395202/), the "insider" referenced in the posting. The COA is extremely detailed and has an undeniable "truthiness" to it.
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/COA.jpg)
-
Yup, I looked at it. The whole point of all of that is to create the illusion of undeniable "truthiness." But in the end, the signatures don't lie. I could create that certificate of authenticity in 15 minutes in word and then sign Quentin Tarantino's name on it. I only hope they did not waste a perfectly good lucky strike PF one sheet, but I suppose that is fake too.
-
I have to disagree. The detail of the COA, the identify of the consignor, and the Ebay feedback of the seller put this one in the "reasonably legitimate" category. However, if I bought this, I'd insist on sending it to a poster/signature authenticator and calling the COA signatory.
Two months ago I posted some Pixar signed items and Bruce & Rich immediately started beating the "it's a fake/shiller/evil Ebay" drums (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,237.msg4187.html#msg4187). A few seconds research revealed it was perfectly legitimate. Ooops.
The point being there's a lot of "blown calls" and paranoia on this board....
-
ok, mel, then go ahead and do me a favor and explain the 2 sigs above please. she just wasnt feeling herself that day, I suppsose? also explain to me why why Mr. Krug would bother to chase down all of those signatures and how he managed to keep the poster mint while obtaining said signatures.
I mean, can the word reasonable be used at all when we are talking about the guy toting around a one sheet to all these places from Hollywood to NYC to London?? Really? Or did he carry it around with him everywhere he went for several years in hopes of running into these folks? After all, he had it at Chows restaurant in Beverly Hills to get ERic Stoltz's sig. You just dont bust out a one sheet at the table in Chows and say hey dude, will you sign this.........even if you know the guy. It is an incredibly formal place.

I'm not a signature expert. I know my own signature varies tremendously. Also, if it is a fake, I'm sure the creator tried to imitate her known signature and the signatures of the others. You're basing your non-expert opinion on one signature.
Like I said, you're rejecting it with insufficient data. I agree fakes of Pulp Fiction and fake signatures of Ebay are common. However, this particular poster has plenteous verisimilitude. There's no reason to think a Pulp Fiction fan (and Hollywood "director") would NOT collect these sigs over a couple of years.
The poster itself could be easily authenticated, both through the MPA tests (http://movieposterauthenticating.com/wordpress/pulp-fiction/pulp-fiction-advance/) and through a poster expert.
The signatures would be harder to authenticate but a conversation with Krug and a quick test ("So what play was showing in NYC at that time?") and possibly a signature authenticator would suffice.
Finally, if the poster is truly original - currently worth $700 on Ebay (the most recent price) and probably much higher in the 2002 time period - who in their right mind would put FAKE signatures on it?
-
Sorry Mel but I agree with Schan. That poster would be battered to hell if the "owener" really obtained that many genuine signatures at that many places. We are not talking about "C-list" celebrities who sit at desks at a convention while collectors carefully unroll their poster for a $25 autograph. Every rolled poster I have ever got signed (apart from one occasion, I have never paid) has got creased in some way and this is from dealing with just one signatory. It is rare to have the luxury of time and space and more often than not there is a scrum of pushing people and a celebrity anxious to make his escape.
I agree that signatures of one celebrity can vary but the provenance of how and where the poster came to be signed is just as important as a technical analysis of the autograph itself

Well, I asked the seller some follow-up questions.
Mark, I noticed the "owener" spelling too. Of course, you'll agree that Krug - a German - would be very likely to misspell "owener." That is the phonetic spelling of that word. So IMHO that tends to prove Krug actually wrote the COA.
As far as traveling to various places, this article about Krug (http://archive.seacoastonline.com/2004news/11292004/news/51205.htm) from November 2004 details his various trips around the world (including Cannes) during 2004 to promote his film:

-
i give up.
-
deciding that a misspelled "owener" makes it more likely that the Krug is the guy because he is German is quite the reach. its just as likely that the whoever made that made a type-o since e happens to be next to w on the keyboard.
Oh and Mel, I have taken 2 masters level courses on handwriting analysis. though I would not consider myself an expert, I am very far from uninformed on the subject.
You are a trusting soul, and that is admirable. Myself, I tend to accept the simplest explanation of a phenomenon. And the simple explanation is someone made all that up. I could do the same in about 2 hours.
-
Mel.. Seriously?
-
I think you boys are right on this one. It appeared plausible on the surface but there's another "signed" poster for sale on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Pulp-Fiction-hand-signed-movie-poster-Tarantino_W0QQitemZ270565350625QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3efef39ce1)that is very similar to this one. The likelihood the signatures would be in the same place on both posters is pretty low. Probably the same faker did both of these:
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Pulp9.jpg)
-
Okay, there HAS to be a way to take these down.
-
There are a ton of these mint multi-colored signature posters on ebay and a roll of toilet paper is worth more than a COA.
The sad thing is people still buy this crap. If anyone wants one I'm sure I can hit up Canal Street in Chinatown before leaving New York and pick up a few from the chinese sweatshops. I'll be sure to get them to write up a few Certificates of Authentications.

Reminds me of customers I have, come in, buy a $20,000 or whatever coin, and ask for a COA, I say, SURE I CAN GIVE YOU ONE, but it means NOTHING, I can sell you a 2c coin and give it a COA, it’s a bit of paper, the p[roof is in the pudding. The PROOF IS THE ITEM, not what any dealer can attach to it.
Sigs like these, take em or leave em, I have many signed items, 99% I have gotten myself, or if not IN PERSON, have a long distance relationship with the person, and posted to them, and posted back. They are hard to sell, as its impossible to prove. I like them, I know they are legit, so I am happy.
-
This is interesting - what do you boys think about this reply from the seller of the Pulp Fiction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150433778313)?
"You obviously don't know what you're talking about. I'm selling the autographed Pulp Fiction poster for Shani Krug, a well known TV Cameraman, writer and producer. He knew almost all og the stars in the picture and they were happy to autograph his copy. Friends of his who knew the few he didn't got the extra autographs for him. This took place over a period of months on sets, in restaurants, at awards ceremonies and from even as far away as the Cannes film festival. Schani used to loan John Travolta money when he was still a kid living in a trailer and working Welcome Back Kotter. In fact, John Travolta got a few of those autographs for him. Believe me when I say the provenance for this Pulp Fiction poster is a lot more solid than any credential you may seem to represent for making such a false judgment. Joe Conway"
So I asked him why the signatures matched the other poster. Haven't heard back.
-
I dont knmow, but METHINKS HE DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH
-
I think blah blah blah.
So he is selling a poster for a guy who knew guys who signed it and had other guys get sigs of the other guys. Gag me.
The only way to ever have peace of mind with signed anything is if YOU see it happen in person, other than that you will never know without a doubt.
-
Amen to that. I think the guy is full of puke2 (for lack of a better word). The main thing to remember is, if this poster had gone to as many places as he said it has, it would be a mess, and not mint like the one he's trying to sell. As far as the Cannes film festival? Yeah, I can see someone crossing the ocean with the damn poster. What a load of crap!!! (There, I said it!)
T
-
Here's a clearer pictures showing several of the signatures are in the same place.
Any chance that could be random?
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Sigs.jpg)
-
Any chance? sure, would I bet $1 no,
-
I still think it's a load of sh!t.
-
I reported both sales to Ebay's fraud department. I'm sick of people doing this shit and getting away with it. It gives our hobby a bad name. Nothing will probably happen, but I'm curious to see what they will do with it.
T
-
The ebay default on any of this stuff is that it is real until proven fake. They will not do any work to prove it, and the seller wont send the item for them to authenticate, therefore it remains up and authentic as far as ebay is concerned. its a farce.
-
Like I said, I agree most signatures on Ebay are fake and normally wouldn't have any interest it them. However, this particular poster continues to be intriguing because (1) the underlying poster could be extremely valuable (at least $700), (2) the originality of the poster could be easily authenticated, (3) the seller has a very high Ebay rating (921 100% positive) and continues to be adamant that it is legit and has unusual "backstory" details.
If it weren't for the matching signatures on the other poster, I'd be convinced, at least enough to send it to an authenticator(s).
The seller is "all in" on this one - he increased the price to $1900 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150433778313) and his reputation is at stake.
Here's the latest:
For all I know somebody copied the signatures off the poster I presented (starting several months ago). One of the signatures is sloppy. There is also the possibility that like a movie marquee the different signatories knew their place in the pecking order? As I said, Schani was a goor friend of John Travolta who helped him get many of the signatures. Joe Conway

Mel, I don't understand why you are pulling so hard for this poster, but it's your money. Let me address your points here for the heck of it:
1. Why? And how do you get $700? Values affixed to signed posters are all over the place and are near impossible to pinpoint, plain and simple. You might get your $700 from the world's biggest (and most gullible) PF or Tarantino fan or $7 from someone who doesn't believe the BS surrounding it and just wants it up in their garage to smile at when they get their lawnmower out each weekend.
2. No it couldn't.
3. Who cares? Several dealers and general sellers on ebay can easily obtain a 100% feedback rating, its not exactly a true-blue moral compass to abide by here, man.
Whatever, you have read what we have been trying to tell you, but at the end of the day it's your money. However, I will say that by purchasing this poster (even if you are thinking of it) you are aiding the type of folk that plague this great hobby.
-
and he wants $50 for shipping. gouging someone on shipping after they spend 2 g's plus on a poster. classy.

Yeah, he is probably trying to cover all his ebay, paypal, packaging, shipping, and gas to the post office fees all in one swoop.

Wonka, why do you feel obliged to make critical and grossly exaggerated ("plague") responses to my posts? I don't appreciate it and I don't appreciate your smug and "disgruntled" attitude, as Carson has aptly described it. It's just obnoxious.
If you had been reading this board, we discussed that an apparently legitimate Pulp Fiction recalled poster sold for $700 recently on Ebay, so that is reasonable estimation of its current auction value.
No, it is NOT easy to acquire a 900 100% ebay rating - that takes years. It also appears that this guy has sold a lot of expensive watches too.
What I've said - and said from the very beginning - that if I were to purchase this poster - and I've never had any plans to do so - is that I would send it to a poster authenticator, probably to Rich, since he's got a couple. The whole thing would blow up immediately if it is determined to be fake, which is exactly what happened when I bought a fake ET poster.
If the poster itself is original, it's VERY unlikely the signatures are fake. However, just to make sure I would insist on talking to the signature gatherer and/or send it to a signature authenticator.
There is no substantial risk here. The seller offers a money back policy and there's no reason to think he would just drop off the face of the earth. I've previously won 10 or so Paypal cases as the buyer, so I know how easy it is to get a refund. Finally, I would pay for it with a credit card, just for extra insurance. If it's a fake, I'd give SERIOUS negative feedback as well, thereby tainting the seller's reputation.
-
Mel, sorry, but critiques of opinions via other opinions is the essence of a forum. And referring to what Carson said in another post is silly, not only because you quote his opinion as gospel here but also because I am not 'disgruntled' in the slightest, especially towards Dave. To even suppose that you and/or another forum member (in this case, Carson) can just simply affix an adjective to simply brush aside and also describe me in an 'apt' way is really immature and quite limiting. Come on, dude.
I think your eagerness, enthusiasm, exhaustive and digging research, and positive attitude is probably unequaled especially on this forum. Seriously.
However, I think a good portion of the time you throw out untrue or jaded information which I personally feel can be detrimental on any level in terms of the forum and hobby. So I (and others) have and will post towards goals of correctness...but if you take my words and simply dismiss them as 'critical' and 'exaggerated', then I don't know what to tell you.
There are others in this thread basically telling you what I am telling you, but if you want to only be crabby towards me, go for it. (Remember others, Thierry and Jeannie, called you out about the Star Wars auctions too?) But onto the poster in question:
The latest ending bid on a given poster cannot accurately be a telling value. There are so many factors in a poster's selling price, where it is hard to simply say, oh its worth X amount because yesterday it sold for X. Just ask Bruce. It's not like selling a lot of new Honda Civics.
I would argue (and others would agree), that the poster on its own is now worth nothing because of all the neon marker scribbles on it.
If you have no plans to purchase the poster, then what the hell are we doing? Why are you on a crusade to push the honor of this poster?
So if a poster is legit, then sigs are very unlikely to be fake? WTF? This statement is so ridiculous on every level, man.
I can list 900 items in my house today, socks, shoes, books, etc...sell them all off and have a perfect feedback rating too. Its not a big deal. But if I just sold watches, then I would be cool to sell a Pulp Fiction with sigs all over it?
Not a huge risk, just time and money and hassle. Also, negative feedback doesn't do much. Ask Dave. Or Bruce. Or Egbert.
-
Well, I, for one, would never spend $700 on this poster. But that's because I'm cheap, so no surprise there. But even if I was going to spend a little bit of money on it, it is now worth nothing in my eyes. 1) You will NEVER know for sure whether the signatures are real or not. Even the best signature expert will not be able to assert their authenticity 100%. 2) A clean poster might be worth some money, but this is a mess and it completely denature the poster.
T
-
end of the day its tricky, this item, I wouldn't touch, BUT I have many signed Items I know are legit, as in I obtained them, but how can you prove it? so they sit in boxes.
I doubt this one is real, but maybe it is. who knows?
Again, and Im gonna get known for this, but BUY IT IF YOU LIKE IT AND CAN AFFORD IT.

Very impressive research!
Actually, about a week ago I went back and looked at that PF auction again (in the completed listings then - now it's gone) and figured out it was an obvious fraud because the "little man" at the top of the poster is cut off. I should have caught that right away just from the pictures on Ebay. Nobody else caught it either, however.

Aw yeah, Foxy Brown (aka Pam Grier) is in DC this Sunday (http://busboysandpoets.com/events.php)! If I buy her book, hopefully she'll sign my Jackie Brown poster:

Be sure to bring a nice silver marker...
and hey, invite her home to see your Zany framed movie poster collection...break out the muscatel and have some fun (I would)....
-
Pam Grier was awesome - she gave a one hour free-wheeling talk about her life. She talked about being a backup singer and Jimi Hendrix wandering in at 3am to the studio and conducting an impromptu jam session. Unfortunately, the book store employees wouldn't allow her to sign any non-book items - and they sold out of the book too, so that was a bummer:

Once again I just want to point out a Buyer Beware! I'm not telling you what to do or what not to do but just be sure you understand information regarding things discussed earlier in this thread about a particular seller. Hopefully nobody on here gets burned. I don't know much about anything he's selling outside of posters so there maybe other scams with in the clocks and other stuff being sold.

You are bidding on my LIFETIME COLLECTION OF 60 IMPORTANT (and extremely rare) vintage movie posters from my personal archives of unique Hollywood memorabilia.This amazing collection offers a complete Cinematic spectrum of diverse hit movie advertising from a bygone era. These are investment quality posters in MINT condition. Most were never used, and came directly from my Hollywood studio sources who found these for me during the film’s initial release in theaters. The rest came from the National Screen Service, where I had contacts. These posters are pristine, and may be some of the finest examples of each respective film's 1 sheet poster in exhistence. EACH POSTER LOOKS AS NEW AS THOUGH IT CAME OFF THE PRINTING PRESS. These are true works of art, and would be the ultimate Cinema collectibles (and crown jewel) in anyone's home, theme restaurant, or office. As a film and TV cameraman, I was fortunate enough to have acquired these over the span of my career in Los Angeles. All have been kept in a humidity controlled environment in my home. They are enclosed in UV protected Polyurethane sleeves, and are backed in acid-free archival cardboard. They will last for years under these conditions, as they have for me; and will display nicely. The posters are 1 sheets (27x41 inches, or 40x30 inch rolled). Most are flawless, with no mars or blemishes at all. If there is a blemish, it is a minor printing flaw and virtually invisible to the human eye. Every movie genre is included, including: BLAXPLOITATION, HORROR, SCI-FI, ACTION, ROMANCE, SEXPLOITATION (YES, EVEN AN ALMOST NON-EXISTENT RUSS MYER POSTER IS INCLUDED), JAMES BOND, AND EVEN THE COMPLETE COLLECTION OF THE SUPERMAN FILMS, STARRING THE LATE CHRISTOPHER REEVE. The lucky bidder won’t have to spend 35 years collecting these like I did. These are the Creme de la Creme of each poster, and each genre. The savvy investment minded collector who yearns for the very finest condition will appreciate these 1 sheet posters. All are worth far more than my “Buy It Now” Ebay asking price, with numerous posters having sold for over $3,000.00 each at Cinema collectors auctions. Enjoy the auction, and rest assured that these works of art will only escalate in value. The posters include:
1) BRAVEHEART -(ADVANCE) 1-SHEET, and a multi-Oscar winning film, starring Mel Gibson - 1995
2) THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING - 1-SHEET, starring
Sean Connery and Michael Caine, - 1974

4) LIVE AND LET DIE 1-SHEET -, starring Roger Moore, Yaphet Kotto and Jane Seymour - 1973
5) DEATH RACE 2000 1-SHEET, a cult classic starring

Wasn't it PT Barnum who said, "There's a rube born every minute"?
Sheeesh...

Can I ask why this is a scam? Are they fake posters? Just an all around bad seller?
These are all pretty common 70s and 80s posters. It seems like it would be harder to bootleg them all convincingly than it would to just buy them! Granted, I would never touch a deal like this with a ten foot pole...
-
Harry,
In my book once a scam artist always a scam artist. Just go back a page and look at the link I posted a while back on this seller. If he's willing to do all that in which he was convicted of I don't know why anyone would trust him. But like I said earlier, I'm not telling people what to do or what and where to buy their stuff. I'm just giving them a buyer beware warning from all the red flags and past history of this person. I hate to see people get burned by dishonesty and especially from people who do it knowingly.
This will probably be my last post on it.
-
Understood, thanks. I was just wondering if the posters were fake or something.

I just got to meet a living legend this evening - Martin Scorsese - who signed a Mean Streets one sheet and a Taxi Driver still (featuring him and Robert De Niro) for me. He was here in London for a Q & A which followed a 50th anniversary screening of Peeping Tom - still a disturbing film.

Bought this rare Cannes film festival poster for Supersized signed by the director Morgan Spurlock. It says "Just say no to Ronald." I exchanged extensive emails with the seller and it all appears to be legit. Basically, the seller lives in Charleston, West Virginia and Spurlock is originally from that area and is a "friend of a friend." Will poster larger pic when it gets here.

I know his ex wife if that helps, I bet she knows his signature. He took her for a ride financially BTW to pay for the movie (I know I only know one side of it, but I think he is a dickhead).
-
Well, it's a $51 poster, hardly worth making a fuss over. Apparently, the guy who originally procured the signature had some legal ties to Spurlock. Bottom line is it's not worth anybody's time to reprint this poster and/or fake a signature, so I'm not worried about it.

Nice CONAN, Tang.
Did you meet Sandahl Bergman when she signed this?
Very cool.

Thought I'd revive this thread a little.
Stay away from these guys.

I got stung ages ago buying a signed Predator poster from ebay.
I had the UACC authenticate the sigs and they determined it was definitely a fake.

Which movie is that from? I think I need to add 'stone-washed denim vest' to the 'ole xmas list...
EDIT: I better add a Mach 3 Turbo to the list too so I can shave my pecs.
-
Haha sounds good mate.
Its from Kickboxer. His best effort along with Bloodspot IMO.
