Question Heath Ledger Autograph Fake or Not?

This guy is selling quite a few of these, has a COA from Conneticut, cant find the road name though on the COA.

Seems a bit cheap for such an item?

Re: Heath Ledger Autograph Fake or Not?

Defo Fake
If i remember correctly Heath died at a time when next to no pics of this film were even released??
The price is also very strange for an autograph of a now deceased actor on the actual pic of his biggest film.
Wouldnt touch it with a bargepole

ALL certificates of authenticity are worth no more than the paper that they are written on. Looking at his feedback he has sold too many for my liking.

If I had a genuine one for sale I would have had my own picture taken at the signing. The seller gives no detail of the location where it was signed, sorry but this has fake written all over it.

Take a look at this auction and see how the seller has gone to the trouble of informing you exactly when and where the signature was obtained...

If I believed the signed 5x3 card you point out was genuine I would buy it myself and pop it in a frame with a picture just like the example I have linked to and for an extra outlay of £60 max I too would be selling an item for nearly £600

Nobody is going to sell a siganture of Heath Ledgers for cheap, he died young and at the peak of his career. Too good to be trues will always be just that

Here Is a printed copy of what his real autograph looks like..

Re: Heath Ledger Autograph Fake or Not?

When I was in Vegas a few months ago in one of the shops which only dealt with signed movie posters etc had a mounted, framed and signed poster of the Dark Night with Heath's signature. Was $3,700 IIRC.

So, Heath Ledger signed Joker prints are definitely about, just maybe not at £45

This is almost correct there were a handful of images available, I know of a few collectors who managed to obtain a signed 8x10 of him as 'Joker', while he was filming, including myself!

It looks, fake to me!
