This is an authentic, highly useful vintage reference handbook titled Signatures of the Stars, written by prominent Hollywood autograph authority Al Wittnebert. This specialized monograph serves as an invaluable diagnostic resource and authentication benchmark for serious collectors looking to safely buy, sell, or verify the hand-signed autographs of classic Hollywood icons.
As you can see in the accompanying pictures, you'll also receive several clear plastic pages which have black signatures so you can put this over your autograph for comparison purposes. These are really great collectible tools!
The guide provides real-world visual examples, tracing the historical signature patterns, common variants, secretarial styles, and autopen hazards associated with major entertainment legends.
Key Subject Matter & Reference Focus:
  • Visual Authentication Aids: Features full-size signature reproductions and illustrative exemplars to help collectors confidently separate genuine signatures from studio fakes, preprint facsimiles, or fan-mail proxies.
  • Cover Art Feature: Displays an incredible, highly expressive caricatured portrait of Hollywood giant Clark Gable, paired with a clean, clear facsimile strike of his signature.
  • Expert Diagnostic Data: Written by one of the most respected authorities in the hobby, whose publications have set industry guidelines across major global collectors' circles.
Condition & Design Specifications:
  • Format: Softcover paperback guide with factory three-hole punches along the left-hand margin, intentionally designed to easily slot directly into a standard research binder for bench use.
  • Cover State: Very good vintage condition. The white card cover remains clean and crisp with bold black ink typography and artwork lines. Shows only minor cosmetic edge soft-spots and faint storage handling consistent with age.
  • Interior Pages: Crisp, firmly attached, and fully legible text block. Pages are clean and free of heavy highlighter markers, modern ink handwriting, or torn margins.

Also, I've got a FANTASTIC selection of philatelic publications on eBay right now (MANY of which have just been marked down!!); to see them all just go to my eBay Store!

I've been in the mail order business for over for over 47 years (since 1979!) so bid and buy with confidence. (My best references are from my customers; read feedback comments left for me!)
