<p>The TWA playing card is now on offer somewhere as genuine I'm told and by a good dealer too it seems. I just don't understand it. This and the bogus manual were ultimately proven to be from the same source as I predicted. The card sold for only $114 on eBay, sold by a seller with a $76 Brando, Tom Petty, Jackson, and so on for absurd prices. :(</p>
<p>These are very poor forgeries and certainly look nothing like his 60's or 70's signatures. But then 1/2 the PSA/DNA exemplars are secretarials…</p>

<p>This crap is on eBay now - it is the back of a Buick manual. This forger likes to write on things that suggest authenticity... Poor forgery though. The TWA sticker sold for $114. This manual, the first sig shown above, is item # 164745373491. Seller Flammingmoe - who also sold the TWA sticker.

When I said same hand Jeff said - "...What is even crazier is that they came from two completely different separate places that would never in a million years have connection with each other so I highly highly doubt the same person could have done both..." - now the same eBay seller has both. Same hand. Same junk.</p>

<p>Agreed. Neither one holds up to close scrutiny.</p>

<p>I see that neither one of these got Jackie's highly characteristic "k" just right. In fact, the uninscribed TWA tag got it horribly wrong. It's way too big for starters.</p>

Jackie's "M's" have always looked pretty consistent to me in all the authentic exemplars I've seen but both of these two "M's" are off. The second "M" directly underneath the "M" in "Marilyn" looks much closer to what it's supposed to look like but neither "M" holds up to scrutiny. That top "M" is just egregious.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm starting to long for the good old days when the only fake Gleason autographs in the marketplace were the flood of well-intentioned secretarials that could be found just about anywhere. Now that the autograph community has finally woken up to the true rarity of authentic Gleason autographs, the forgers have clearly been honing their craft.</p>
<p><br/>I'm so grateful to you, Eric, for the PhD-level education in Gleason autographs that you have provided through your research and posts!</p>
