Autograph fraud on Stan is so much more common than you think, especially since he passed and his signature is so easily duplicated.

I just read a biography on Stan Lee and it was mentioned that when Stan was too tired to sign, his handlers who start forging items.

You take a .10 comic book and sign his name on it, you can easily make a small percentage of it's value (can you think of an easier way to make $20 or $30 or $50?) and Stan Lee forgeries are rampant since his passing because the authorities and sites like eBay don't care.

The % varies on the celebrity (not limited to sports) as fraud is in every genre of signature collecting and is north of 90% on figures like Michael Jordan, Bob Dylan, Neil Armstrong, Tiger Woods, LeBron James, The Beatles, Kobe Bryant etc. 

Since Stan signed so much, so much unverified, to say undocumented signatures are fraudulent is pure lunacy.

Most of mine doesnt come with certs , all real :

Jaws book by trio , from MV set (Dreyfuss last man standing)

Streisand LP/note/HD receipt from set , all from late 60s/early 70s

Hashimoto+ brochure (Bruce Lees nemesis , never seen one on ebay) , Benn+ cut (came directly from HK cafe)

Robert Shaw+ receipt

Willoughby Gray+ cut (Zorins mentor/the king in Princess Bride)

Cacavas+ Horror Express spanish/italian movie posters (other HE stars : Line from mid 50s , Pena from 30s , Israel aka baggage man , autopsy lady)

Savalas+ KH contract

Deer Hunter : Cazale+ cut , de Niro/Savage contracts (not from the movie....but still) , Streep sgd mag , Walken resume 

Connery+ vintage 007 photo

007 AVTAK book by Moore+/Brown+/Keen+ and Walken/Roberts+/Yip cuts

007 Gotell (prolly rarer than Bernard Lee , yet Bondcollectibles had a ton all of a sudden on ebay....hmm) 

Stallone/Weathers Rocky french 2sh poster

Lonsdale+ Drax Mego figure (ooak , never seen another sgd)

Lazenby/Rigg+ OHMSS ita 2sh poster (also Leech+/Sims+/Mountain/Hanley/Henriques)

Opsahl+ Olsen Gang #4 comic book (ooak....never seen another sgd by him , sgd 4 months before death) , Byhring+ aka Kjell (took me 20 yrs to find , nightmare lol).....they made 14 of those crime comedies , those autographs no value outside Norway though (5 comics/albums were made , only #4 was in color , #5 "Star of Quruk" is quite rare)

and many Bond girls , not worth much but most were IP by myself

(an american military man Andy Andersen played a Blofeld-esque villain in second movie , "Olsen Gang and Dynamite Harry" , ive never seen his autographs and likely never will , super super rare)

An acquaintance of mine just discovered this forum after he had already ordered books from known Stan Lee/ Jack Kirby forger Tonfulle-84. Sadly its past the Ebay return item period and he and his friend are the two recent people who placed negative feedback on his Ebay page. Anyways they are spreading Tonfulle's real name and address in case you see him posting items on FB, IG and other sites/app. I don't know if its allowed in this forum but here it is : Tonfulle-84 real name and address : Anthony Fuller 62 Keelie Hall Rd. Montgomery AL 36108

I wonder is that sig true ? The seller can't afford other certificates but only the sticker. And the authetic code is Slc-31965.

 

If you look on ebay, there's a couple hundred thousand CGC SS Stan Lee comics, which are more or less guaranteed to be authentic.  I'd say take a look at those and do your own comparisons.

I do think so, a guaranteed cgc ss comic might be suitable for me. Thanks for your help.

The process used to verify sigs without a witness is pretty interesting. I personally trust some brands when it comes to sports but in terms of comics I really either need a direct from artists booth/store or yellow label witness. 
 

article on the authentication process for PSA and others that is interesting. https://www.cardboardconnection.com/autograph-authentication-sports/amp

I have in person Stan Lee sigs and others I have bought in the past with the "Excelsior" sticker. Have there been cases of forged signatures with the Excelsior sticker? They (the signatures) do look good but since I didn't get in person...
