I have just started collecting signed cards and noticed that some signatures are extremely rare to come by. Do you (Markers) or anyone else for that matter have pictures of the following signed cards?
Tarmogoyf (FS)
Spell Snare
Wasteland (Tempest)
Imperial Seal
or any other card drawn by the same artist.
The Goyf is impossible (the artist doesn't reply to email/letters and doesn't attend anything (cons/Tournaments). Many have tried all have failed. I (and my contacts) have never seen an actual one.
For the rest I'll send you links via pm.

Another question for you regarding signed cards. Which cards are the most difficult to track down signed versions of (excluding the goyf as you have already mentioned it.)?
Well, there are of course the deceased artists (Tim Hildebrandt, Glen Angus, Quinton Hoover and Keith Parkinson as far as I know) and then the artists that only did a few cards.

I'm not the resident expert here, but that looks legit in comparison to his known sigs.
Markers is obviously the guy to properly verify sigs, but it looks right to me.

If I had a dollar for every time I missed playing a Counterspell ...
I'd be missing my Mana Drain s instead.
Ask them why they haven't had it professionally graded by either PSA or BGS. If they are serious with that asking price, they should take steps to authenticate. This card would be a collectible and not played so putting it into a slab would make the most sense.
If it is not authenticated, you must assume it is fake. And if you are seriously considering paying that price for it, please do yourself a favor and go out and get a graded beta Black Lotus instead. JTMS is still too new and the price is too unstable. The Lotus has a long history of appreciation.
That is the most grossly overpriced magic card in existence. You could buy a jace for $90 and send it to Jason Chan to sign and alter for free--or find him at an event and ask him to do it...sorry to say, but your LGS is a pack of hogs!

Really interesting case I found... The only other time I've seen an artist sign a card that they didn't illustrate was on a misprint Blue Mana Battery where their name was listed as the illustrator (instead of Amy Weber). rk post is a pretty cool guy so I'm sure he just went with what I assume was nothing more than a quirky request at an event.
That does look like the rk post signature I have on one of his own cards.
PS
didn't know rk post was a dude, thought the name was a female using initials to dodge sexism, like Joanne (JK) Rowling
Douglas Shuler has signed some Serra Angel/Time Elemental errors, which included him getting credited for Amy Weber's art. Here's one signed by both: http://squt.tripod.com/MainError.html (That does look like Shuler's from the cards I have, and that does look like Weber's form what I've seen on her Facebook page)
I have this Phyrexian Dreadnought I paid 25$, it is a Pete Venters signature but I don't know if it's legit, I wanted to complete my foil phyrexian page and I thought 25$ was a good deal for this one. So, thoughts?

Yup, that is completely legit. Haven't signed too many of that type of Dreadnought actually, so, bonus!
Didn't know Pete Venters signed in black. I have his stuff in red. I knew that was right except for the color. Well, a lot of confirmation post son this thread, but can't beat that source.
I just took a look at my Guru Lands, and one of the sigs seems off. I want to confirm that it's actually Terese Nielsen's sig so that I can replace that Forest if not. (2nd Row, Right side)
It sure is her signature! It has progressed in the 10+ years that she's been signing.
Actually, here's a video where she goes through all her signature changes:
Anyhow, the best I can come up with myself is a game in the top 8 of a PTQ back during Urza block in which we were starting game 3 with time already expired, so the tiebreaker rule was that whoever had more life after 3 turns would win. And I lost to... healing salve.
That's Jerry's sig and art style. Looks like he replicated his own Rishadan Port. Very cool.
@Shireidark, the sigs look close! I believe they are real.
Yes, the sig looks good.

Not so rare. Zoltan & Gabor used to sign loads of cards back in the day (I don't know if they're still having a studio together.

They were selling this in a card store in town. Is this a legit Jason Chan sig? D:

It's common. I don't think any artists, maybe except Shuler and Poole, have signed more cards than good ol' Dan.
Thanks in advance!
They all look good/legit.
