Signed movie posters—from classic Hollywood to modern franchises—are among the most forged autographed items in the entertainment market. Counterfeiters often pair fake signatures with cheap reprints, digital preprints, or mass-produced facsimile posters. Determining authenticity requires evaluating both components: the signature itself and the poster stock.

Distinguish genuine autographs from autopens, preprints, and digital facsimiles
Identify theatrical posters vs. reprints, video releases, retail posters, and fan art
