<p>[QUOTE="Snowman Cometh, post: 10525393, member: 83302"]If a deal is too good to be true, it probably is. I've come across James Dean autographs online, when I'm looking for other people. They are always expensive, and I don't like him, so I would never even consider buying one. That is until today. </p><p><br /></p><p>This was sold by a autograph dealer who has only had sports figures till today. He had this James Dean and a Michael Jackson (two of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. If he had a Marilyn Monroe it'd have been a trifecta) Quickly looking at the Dean, it looks like his signature. I looked up contracts, and it's still within the boundaries of him signing this. It was presented OK. Wrapped in plastic and attached to a 16 x 20 matted photo of him. </p><p><br /></p><p>The paper is old. The signature is pen. It's not a copy. </p><p><br /></p><p>The piece is dated 5/1/55 which is a few months before he died. It wasn't dated by him. It was dated by the person he gave the autograph to. If he actually gave the autograph. This might be a excellent hoax piece. Because they went the extra mile to make this seem like a genuine autograph hound autograph. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not saying this is real. Because I don't know. I do think there's a decent possibility of it being real. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]529103[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm probably going to sell it either way. I will absolutely list it as possible, but not absolutely certain. I'll also price it accordingly. </p><p><br /></p><p>What do you folks think? If you think it's a fake, please explain why. </p><p><br /></p><p>THANK YOU![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
