Dick Warlock Autograph direct from his website...

Hi all,

Earlier in the year I ordered an autographed photo direct from Warlock off his website. I’ve been collecting autographs for almost two decades and have gotten pretty good at spotting issues or irregularities. Looking at the one I received it feels too smooth, too fragmented in its pen placement and not totally consistent with previous examples I have seen in person and others I have. I’ve included some shots of it here. Its close to what it should be but there are enough issues to make me think that maybe he isn’t the one signing these anymore… On the website it does state that he wont do personalizations or send in items because he doesn’t want to risk damaging someones items due to a less than steady hand. This statement had me expecting a signature that was less than clean and that would have been totally fine, instead I got one that seems cleaner and more flow-y than any example I’ve seen or have. Hoping other here might be able to chime in. Also curious if the site is still maintained by people associated with Mr. Warlock. Mainly looking for information, and this is by no means meant to be an accusation, but a curiosity.

Very clean handwriting for an apparently shaky man. Hope someone chimes in

I’m not a handwriting authority but it looks pretty much exactly like all mine that I’ve gotten from him in person. He may have signed it years ago then just when someone orders one it’s already signed and ready to ship.

I’ve looked at the numerous things he’s signed for me and I just checked several items on eBay. The autographs vary a little but, they are 100% Dick Warlock autographed and match yours.

Probably the answer here. Probably signed a buttload of stuff a while back

Thanks so much for the replies! That logic of a stockpile makes sense and also accounts for the no longer doing personalizations. Thank you to those who did some cross comparisons. Guess my expectations made me suspicious :slight_smile:

That’s a legit autograph from Dick.

If it makes you feel better, it looks a little shaky to me. The pen skipped at the beginning of the “D” and you can see where he stopped and started again in a few spots. Cool piece!
