Opinions on these Ashley Scott autographs?

[wflet]

Guys,

I am hoping that some of you can give me your opinions on these two autos I recently acquired. Here is what has me concerned. As you can clearly see there are two distinct autos here. One is signed "Ashly" the other "Ashley". Each card spells her name with the "E". If you look on the Bay most (I would say 90%) of the other autos there also have her signing "Ashly". There are some similarities to the signatures but I have no idea which one is legit or if both are legit. Any ideas?

I don't know anyone that misspells their own name beyond kindergarten.

check with webjon and see if he knows of any fakes...

Try working with psychotherapists notes. Happens more than you think.

That being said, it is my understanding that when Inkworks went under, some unsigned autograph cards made it out into the market. Of course, she may have decided to change how she spells her name, also.

I've wondered for a while about this too, since I pulled a couple of the Ashly versions from the Razor Ink Vault products a couple years back and noticed they were misspelled.

[wflet]

Yeah, all of the straight autos I have seen online seem to be misspelled. The auto/mem I see both spellings. Unfortunately there is really no way to verify short of finding her in person and asking her if they are her signature. Too bad Inkworks has been out of business for so long.

I can tell you for sure that the same person did not sign those two autographs. I have the same two variations, and if you look at other signed photos of her available online (ashley scott autograph - Google Search)

You will see that she always signs with no "e" in Ashley. Not to mention, the bottom one looks more forced, as if it is not a natural signature.

[wflet]

I agree with you gdelan1. I see two distinct differences that make me believe that one of them is fake. I first one being the "A" and the second on being the "tt".

I have seen the name webjon on a few autograph posts. Is he the resident expert in all matters fake auto?

[wflet]

The other think I would ask...
If we can verifiably tell one of these is a fake is there anything that can be done to recoup the cost from the Bay? I already sent a message to the seller and they basically said that they don't sell fakes and felt that since the card came from Inkworks they guarantee it is authentic. I am not sure what to do here.

Webjon - yah pretty much. He maintains a blog about fake autos, mostly the key ones like Angelina Jolie: http://webjon.com/blog/?cat=11

If he doesn't respond here soon, hit him up on the non sport forum:

Does the seller accept returns? If so, it doesn't matter what they say about authenticity.

[wflet]

Thanks nicnac, I'll do that.
The seller did say that he would take the card back.

Here was part of his response and just for clarity this seller is associated with the auto/mem card.

"If you are still not happy you can return for a full refund but we do guarantee you have a genuine card"

I sent webjon a pm to check this thread.

[glen87]

looking at her cards online, her signature appears to be all over the place

[webjon]

Both variations of the signature were pack pulled, and those cards don't look obviously bad to me so I would say that neither is fake, and both are pack pulled. . .

[wflet]

That's good news. Thanks webjon. I appreciate your input and also appreciate the rest of you guy's input as well.

[sthoemke]

Here's one, spelled Ashlay(?!?)

[Nicnac]

Maybe she is really dumb and doesn't know how to spell her own name from minute to minute... Or maybe she thinks it's cute...

[sthoemke]

I am inclined to believe that the show worn item cards are fake autos.

The double crossed t's seem to indicate that too.

[Incarnadine]

I remember when the product just came out, one of the first things people noticed was the Ashly/Ashley signatures.
I don't believe the cards are fake as both versions were being pulled right at release, but...

I personally think she may have had an assistant or friend sign some of the cards. I don't know anyone who signs their own name 2 different ways and and the signatures are different enough that it does look like 2 different signers.

she is so hot.... shes been in a couple of pretty good movies.
