Message:: [QUOTE="Snowman Cometh, post: 9725961, member: 83302"]Just before I left for vacation, I did a search for an artist's autograph that I'd never even searched for before. I did it for a specific reason, and don't remember the reason. The attached jpg popped up for sale on ebay. It was cheap, well under $10 with free s/h. Max Steiner is the biggest name in film score composing. He did Gone With The Wind, Casablanca, Now Voyager, Mildred Pierce and a few hundred other films you've heard of and if you're a film fan, you saw. The problem with this sheet music is, that doesn't look in the slightest like Max Steiner. There's no X, and the first name is more than 3 letters, and the last name seems to begin with an L. It's not the lyricist. I did a search for authenticated Steiner autographs, and came upon an 8 x 10 of him inscribed to a sound recorder. His signature also didn't look like his name. But, it was. What's more, it's extremely similar to the uniqueness of this signature. I bought the piece and sure enough it's Max Steiner's autograph. He signed it Maxie.I paid under $7 for an autograph worth over $900. This is getting a special mat and be hung next to my Hank Williams Sr autograph.<img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/qD0AAOSw74JlnZUd/s-l1600.webp" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
