Autograph
StudyAs the popularity of autograph collecting has grown over the years, so has the demand for authentic autographs.
Despite the efforts of authentication services and auction house fakes, forgeries, pre-prints, and much more await an unsuspecting autograph buyer. It is estimated that the number of forgeries for sale far outnumber the number of authentic autographs.
The best defense against buying a forgery is to educate yourself on what the specific autograph you are looking for looks like, use a reputable dealer, and compare your autograph with known autograph samples. This is why the Academy of Manuscript and Autograph, LLC has created the Authentication Cheat Sheet ©.
The Cheat Sheet is an 8 by 10 card. On the front you will find a dissected autograph covering all the characteristics of the individual hand writing like letter formations, spacing, slant and line quality, as well as the less conspicuous characteristics i
ncluding
pressure patterns, proportions, connections, and initial and terminal stroke formation. The back will have up to 10 authentic examples of the individual autograph for comparison.
The Cheat Sheet is a must have for any autograph collector. You can order our pre-made Cheat Sheet card for $25.00. If you need more information give us a call at
