While on the subject of "Is it real"

[cobblered]

I bought this photo on card some years ago now from an apparently recognised dealer, I don't remember who now. It is signed by eight of the team on the photo and Bobby Moore has signed the 'World Cup stamp' attached to it. I bought it at the time because I really like the quirkiness of the signed stamp by the great man but I have had doubts about it being genuine due to the small signature.

Does anyone have any thoughts on it?

Hard to say from here but I'd also be asking about the Alan Ball graph...the others look good to me but just my opinion mate.

And the bottom half of the "B" plus the way it's underlined..Alan always seem to get the same angle of the line when he did this. Not too sure on the one in the photo.

Interesting guys, I wasn't concerned about the others on the main photo as I thought they looked ok and it is a bit of a squeeze on a 6x4 card but I can certainly see what you mean, especially with the 'A' Hmmmmm...

Hi Ralph,

I don't like the Ball signature either mate, sorry. I also have issues with the Hurst, Peters and Stiles too. Below is a photo of an item that was questioned on the acaf forum, you will see that the Peters has a pointed "M" as yours does, i have never seen Peters sign with a pointy M, and the rest of the Martin being just a wiggly line does not ring good to me mate. The Stiles. Never seen Nobby sign "Done" and i have only seen one with a X "kiss" which if i can dig out i will post a pic for you. The "B's" and the "y" look wrong mate.

Ok, Cheers Paul, before I cut it up has anyone got an opinion on the Bobby Moore please?

This is a minefield..but getting very interesting!

because of the high prices commanded obviously there are some expert bobby moore forgers out there,many fakes turned up at auction houses if i remember rightly,i wouldnt feel confident enough to make a comment other than if its attached to questionable graphs,then the bobby must be in serious doubt.

My initial thoughts are the Moore was okay but the Alan Ball stood out for the wromg reasons
