Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Old driver's licenses were hand signed by the celebrity, so are authenticated as autographs. In fact, I once bid on (and lost) Greta Garbo's signed driver's license.

Posted By: <b>DJ</b><p>I bid on Johnny Cash's license (it sold for like $6,500) and yes, they basically look at the signature which is in itself "self-certified" so really, what's the point of getting another person to say that it's this person signature. I'm sure "Vicki" didn't ghost sign this piece.<br /><br />DJ<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>You want an outside opinion as you can never be sure if a 17 year old forged Johny Cash's license to buy beer.<br /><br />I planned on using the Greta Garbo license to buy beer, and the Joe DiMaggio signed credit card in another lot to pay.<br /><br />Store owner: So you're Greta Garbo?? The deceased silent movie actress who had a thick Swedish accent?<br />Me: Yes.<br />Store owner: Fair enough. Paper or plastic?<br /><br /><i> </i> * *<br /><br />In defense of GAI, if I were going to spend $5,000+ for a celebrity's driver's license, I would not object to a third party having given their opinion on authenticity.

Posted By: <b>Kevin</b><p>I see no difference between this and getting a signed check bank authenticated...then having that autograph graded.<br /><br />I would much rather have it in a (any) slab, both protected and authenticated by a 3rd party.
