Removing fake autograph from vintage photo
I won Lot 1 in last night's RMY auction - cool Gehrig photo with a signature/inscription from Mrs. Gehrig.
http://rmyauctions.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=26525 -How hard will it be to remove the ink from this? -Should I even attempt it myself or pay a professional to do it? -And if I do get it removed and then submit to PSA for authentication will they "qualify" it somehow? I recall posts about this subject in the past but would love to hear from someone who has attempted this. Obviously it's a pretty cool photo and I don't want to ruin it. But leaning strongly towards removing the fake stuff. Thanks and Happy Fathers day to the dads out there. |

If it was signed by a true forger or a little kid, I might think about removing it...but if it's definitely Eleanor that signed it, then I'd leave it if it was me.

True maybe a tougher call and I should give it more thought.

I would think the inscription has historical significance in and of itself. I wouldn't touch it. But if you want to, there are people who likely could do it and leave no trace.

Agreed. It's not forged but ghost signed by his wife. I'd keep it as is and enjoy the connection to him.
