And extremely difficult to own an item which all three major stars from the movie, ANCHORS AWEIGH (1945), have signed at the time all were connected to the move - perhaps during the filming in 1944?! REASONABLE OFFERS CONSIDERED. I have been collecting Sinatra signatures for a long time and have some other items like the one for sale here that I am considering selling in the future. So if you have any questions, please let me know! Sinatra was a willing autograph signer throughout his career (60+ years), however many forgeries and secretarial signatures exist in the market today. It is widely known that Sinatra utilized secretaries to deal with his mail correspondence, including autograph requests, as far back as 1939-1940. Many (some would argue MOST) of the Sinatra signatures you see for sale in the market today are classic examples of secretarial signatures from the 1970's - 1990's or outright forgeries. Do not take on the risk of buying a Sinatra signature that you do not have confidence in. Look for signatures that have credible background and provenance or have been authenticated by legitimate third-party authentication services. Obtaining provenance or third-party authentication will be the only way to protect your investment and will separate you from other sellers in the market.
