Some third party authentication companies will glance at your autographed memorbillia and instantly tell you it's not genuine, but not before charging you a huge fee to do so.
Make Sure You Do Not Fall Victim to Third Party Authentication Companies.
The "experts" can't!
The following example of 3 Eisenhower signatures are being offered by a well known seller of autographs. The seller obviously does not know a real from a secretarial signauture so depends on the knowledge of a company who claims to authenticate autographs. Chosen for their "expert" opinion was PSADNA.
Of the three examples illustrated above, only one is hand signed by Dwight D. Eisenhower. Can you tell which is the genuine signature? About the other two, many dozens of these secretarial signatures have flooded the hobby recently through a New England auction house that sells autographs. For a mere $12.00 plus $4 shipping both the auction house and the "experts" at PSA/DNA should no longer continue to make these mistakes. The book is 42 pages in length and is very heavily illustrated.
The information on how to tell a genuine signature of Eisenhower from a secretarial, has been around for several years. How far behind are the so called "experts" at auction houses and the "experts" at autograph authenticating companies in updating their reference material?
Some copies still available, can be obtained by logging onto www.stephenkoschal.com and scroll down to "Reference Books."
No autograph reference library should be without a copy.
In the meantime the person who has possession of the above example needs to return this item for a full refund. The original person who had paid for the authentication and slabbing should request a refund from the authenticating company.
The answer, which is the genuine signature of Dwight D. Eisenhower, it is the one in the middle.
