Since I have this generous stimulus payment and too much time on my hands I decided to indulge in some fun. Since BAS has a preliminary signature review service available for ten dollars an item I figured I would give them something to chew on. Every story needs the gorgeous girl, so I added one. I won this signature on ebay, and I am fairly certain the signature is hers, given the source of the autograph, but I sent her through BAS just to see what they would say about Alex.

You all know Alex Daddario from Percy Jackson, or San Andreas, or perhaps Baywatch right?




Then I added this one to test things out....Last of the Viking Heroes 1...signed by Jack Kirby or maybe not right?
I dont know Jack but maybe they do.....




But adding some more fun, I sent in this one.....surely that one has to be Jack right?




Okay so one more try...lets do this.....




So how do you think it will come out? Honestly as long as Alex comes back correct, I dont care about the rest! Lets see how it goes

I am sure they will be positive about something, just not sure what!

Interesting. It’s fairly well known that Jack’s wife, Roz, frequently signed for him towards the end of his life. That Hulk sig looks particularly feminine with the loops. Who knows?

The hulk book I have owned since around 1985, so while its possible Roz signed it, it had to have been signed a good ten years before Jack passed away.I like my odds best with that one, honestly, since the signature was there back when I bought the book, Jack was still alive, and noone really cared much about signatures

@dpiercy the examples of what you posted are jack writing his name, what @Darkseid_of_town has is him signing his name. Just had 2 Kirby sigs verified. I have a sketch that was given to Derrall O'Neil who sometimes works with jack that is like what your showing. Personally I would rather send the hulk to cbcs and get it verified and slabbed

@Batman66 I consider this clarification certifiably cool!

@dpiercy I have a friend who has around 750 Kirby signed books, he's in the process of writing a book about Kirby, whenever I run across a signature that's unverified I shoot him a picture, he gives me the yea or nah. This is an example of Roz signing for jack. I was mainly interested in the envelope it came with. Funny has Kirbys address and telephone number on the back

Doesn't anyone else care if Alex's signature is valid or not?

Might be more of a 'lack of concern' that someone faked it lol

I believe Mark Evanier was also a Kirby signer for situations when a couple hundred (or whatever) books for some signing deal were brought to him (Kirby).

You have never said if you believe any of the ones I have are the real deal yourself...thoughts?

Alex did fail on authentication...tragic loss for me. Hard to enjoy her in that bikini knowing the signature isn't likely real....

AD - passed, Hulk #1 - passed, other 2 - did not pass?

Hulk 1 no, the other two yes.
I have a number of verified, but avoid the signature game mostly, due to the uncertainty (and the long lines)

Alex did not pass....surprisingly. Neither did either of the two Viking books...they stated they were both unlikely to pass a full verification examination. ( I had thought at least one might clear, so I was surprised)

The hulk book is awaiting results, apparently they are having a bit more work deciding its nature.


Since I bought the book back in about 1985 and Jack was still alive and actively signing, and autographs just weren't a thing back then, I have always felt it was likely a legitimate signature ...wny bother otherwise?

@Darkseid_of_town I'm meeting up with my Kirby friend Monday, I will show him to see what he thinks. I think the hulk is legit, the other two could be, 50/50 on those

They aren't saying the signatures are fakes, they are saying they cannot authenticate...I was somewhat thinking it would likely happen with Alex's signature because its basically no more than a wavy scribble

A bit more surprised both Viking books failed, I figured that at least one was possible.

The hulk book they seem to still be discussing, but for context sake its the least likely to have been faked

Just because it doesn't pass doesn't mean it's not legit. This did not pass either, had them since the early 80's so I know it was not fake. The Burt Ward didn't pass either, but I paid him and personal witnessed him signing.

Sorry, I have seen one or two of the Percy Jackson films and San Andreas, but she looked different with her clothes on. I guess I should have watched the Baywatch movie?

haha, she does look different with her cloths on...or off.....shes also probably a little older than she was in the Percy Jackson movies or San Andreas.

Agreed same with a Stan Lee I got signed in person. I don’t take to much stock in verified signatures. But that is a nice piece and I also have Burt wards autograph I got in person and Adam west.
