Yes it is safe to assume all items are original unless specified. Steven was OCD about originality.
There was a sign when you entered at the unveiling of the collection:
Please
DO NOT touch, handle or fondle the memorabilia
NO drinks, food or smoking
NO REPRODUCTION signs or parts permitted beyond this point
At one point a guest took one of the entry forms for a draw that was filled out (from a stack for an original draw) and asked where it should go. Steven said "oh I'll take that". In typical Steven style he just smiled, the person was his guest.....and just didn't understand.
