What Is Quick Judgment?

It's a service provided by the Academy of Manuscript and Autograph, LLC that enables you to get the opinion from our forensic document examiners as to the genuineness of an item being offered for sale on the Internet. A Quick Judgment is based only on a side by side  evaluation and consistency of the writing with the exemplars in the authentic collection of the Academy of Manuscript and Autograph library. 

How Does It Work?

Complete all detail information required on the Quick Judgment submission form, and make a fast and easy payment of $7.00 for each autograph. Multiple autographs on one item is $7.00 for the first autograph. Any additional autographs is $4.00 per autograph, and manuscripts are $14.00. This fee will be deducted from the authentication fee if the autograph is submitted for authentication within seven days of the Quick Judgment. You will receive a number with every Quick Judgment response; this number must be entered with every autograph submitted for authentication to received the credit. We will honor the Quick Judgment for 14 days from the day the opinion was given. A credit of the $7.00, $10.00 or $14.00 fee will be issued towards the regular forensic examination, depending on the Quick Judgment used. This credit is not valid with any special offers.

The Form will be forwarded directly to our highly qualified experts for an online examination.

How Long Does It Take?

In 24 to 48 hours, you will receive an e-mail with the opinion on whether we feel the item is likely to be genuine, or not likely to be genuine. Please be advised that with most Internet auctions lasting 5 days, we encourage you to promptly submit your requests.

What Do You Get?

You will get a qualified opinion based on an expert's examination of the scan.
 

• Likely to be genuine: Our authenticators believe that the item, if physically submitted to AMA Authentication for examination, would likely receive our certificate of authenticity.
   
• Not likely to be genuine: Our authenticators believe that the item, if physically submitted to AMA Authentication, would likely not receive our certificate of authenticity.
   

• Unable to render an opinion: If our authenticators are unable to render an opinion, we will provide a refund to your account with a detailed explanation of why we were unable to render an opinion.
  
   

  An authentic Lincoln signature written without hesitation and spontaneous.	A Fake Lincoln signature, note the hesitating "A", the "c" has been gone over twice, the "o" is crude, and the forger picked their pen up and started again on the "l".
  This piece recently sold at a well known auction house for $50,000. The auction house was informed before hand it was fake but sold it to a trusting collector anyway. Always hire an independent authenticator before you purchase at an auction.  by Chicago Appraisers Association

It is important to understand that the Quick Judgment program is just that. This is not a full authentication, and more  examination of the handwriting will be needed. You should be fully aware that this opinion is NOT 100% GUARANTEED, and that errors are possible.
