As collected over time, usually found on Ebay, here are a few recent examples. Some are very easy to tell. Those that are not, I have got a second and third opinion from experts about.

| This cheque sold on Ebay for over $2,000 in 2013 |
 |
| A nonsensical page of contract, a second opinion expert pointed out that the paper was old, which was why it appears holes were easily punched into it as a typewriter put the words on the page. The forgery appears to be of a similar hand to the first photo on this page above. |

| Very nice, but not authentic, nice try. Someone has been practicing hard. For a big selection of forgeries, visit this seller's items for sale on Ebay: Guymilano68 Items for Sale on Ebay Two examples of current forgeries from this seller, for sale below:  |
Same hand as above, offered on Ebay July 2014 - in the photo below
Another version of a supposed autograph. Actually making the piece of music less valuable with this forged signature. It may actually be a secretarial, but its not a common hand, if so.
Above - sold on Ebay for $4,000 July 2014. Such a shame. Probably a secretarial. Tricky wording means the seller isn't quite liable for false representation. Certainly not Marilyn's own hand, so massively overpriced at $4k.
A recent offering (below) from Rock Island, Honolulu management: this is a forgery with an unassigned authentication from Donald Frangipani, which means the piece of paper the seller supplied could refer to another possibly genuine Marilyn signature item, not necessarily the one they say it refers to.

The above curiosity seems to be based on a secretarial signature - please see my other blog http://marilynmonroesecretarials.blogspot.com - a secretary should not be signing a blank page, secretarials are exclusively on photos as response to fan requests via mail to the film studios.
Truly awful forgery for sale in New Zealand, which was withdrawn.
Pretty awful forgery - anything that looks like this is just sad.
What a waste of a nice old photo from the correct era - awful forgery, how many different things are wrong with this? For starters the top line and the second line look like they were written at different times by a different hand.
