Is the Stan Lee sig on this AF15 authentic?

[revat]

Except he dates the old sigs. That's my only problem with it. Even on the cover he would date it. Also I don't think he would be using a marker like that in the 70's.

 

But certainly there are some situations where he's signed in a hurry in an odd place, like if someone accosted him in line at a grocery store and he signed it on a grapefruit or something, and he used whatever pen was near by.

I think it's legit

One of the subtle things about Lee's sig is the second e is always more open than the first e. The angle of the tail on the e is distinctive. The sig has this characteristic.

[FineCollector]

Two variations in the "T": single line, that curls towards the next letter, or double line that ends straight. This is neither. In all of them, the "L" continues into the next letter, this one doesn't. I call bogus on this one.

It looks like Stan's signature back in the 70s. I'm not saying it's real but it does look like how his signature used to look many years ago.

 

It's similar to Stan's vintage signature, but looks less smooth and flowing.

 

[AlexanderM]

It definitely doesn't look real. The main features are there of course, so someone was trying to forge his signature looking at a real one. But it does not have the flow a real Lee sig does.

Yeah the 'Lee' just doesnt look right

Not that it matters-even if it was legit it's unwitnessed

[Boboset]

That looks 100% authentic. Likely an late 70's/early 80's sig from the references I could quickly pull up. I'm surprised there is doubt.

[CAHokie]

I have some sig books that have horrible signatures by him. The further into his signing that you go, the worse they get. I admire the fact that he can sign for as long as he does at his age.

I've got something like 20 or so signed books from stan. Most of which I was there when he signed. The signature looks off to me. If it was in a yellow label instead of a blue I'd be PMing Mike to know if that was witnessed or "witnessed".

[RockMyAmadeus]

If it's a forgery, it's an excellent one. It's almost certainly legit.

[wombat]

Based on the responses it it definitely legit, definitely a fake or might be one or the other.

[Dr. Balls]

The best course of action would be to have Stan sign it again and get it into a yellow label.

Or crack it and send it to Voldemort...

Oh yeah, forgot about that!

That's it, that's the answer I am going with.

[LloydJBailey]

I've seen his signature look like this, so it could be. Who knows!

[ChrisInBaltimore]

That was my first thought too

[1904 Comics]

nope

[porky]

looks a lot like an old stan sig i have (not sure how old). and mine also wasn't dated.
