The Authentic Experience

Hello everyone. I am interested in purchasing a couple of items from Chuck McKeen on ebay. Is he a reputable dealer? I looked him up on the Internet and he was a reporter and also a co-author of the Sander's Price Guide. My guess is that he is legit, but I would like to know for sure. Thanks for any feedback.

I don't know him, but why don't you link to or upload some items you're interested in for opinions? That's what really matters. When did he Co-author Sanders Guide? We published the last edition.

He is listed on the 3rd ed of Sanders Sports price guide, I will say this I know he was getting autos from AACS and Todd Mueller at one time like many.

These are the items I'm interested in.

John Ritter auto

Dan Aykroyd auto

Here's the link to his ebay page: http://stores.ebay.com/Chuck-McKeen-Autographs

He states in his auctions that he was also a contributing editor and price consultant for George Sanders on all of his autograph price guides.

I purchased some autographs from AACS back in '04. I thought they were reputable since they were registered UACC dealers, but now I've learned they've been expelled.

AACS does have some items sprinkled in that are authentic but you have to do your homework mores like most of these places that just list items for the $$ and unsuspecting collectors.

be careful.  As Steve said, upload them and let the people that are familiar with the sigs, take a look.  I ordered some items from him years ago, and I never liked them (sosa and bonds photos).

i tell ya what... this guy seems to have good and bad stuff mixed together... like, the tom glavine photo looks legit, the hugh jackman, not so... some stuff looks like what you'd get in the mail as well. in all, i would just say stay away. tom glavine can be had for $35, but i wouldn't give HIM $35 for it as a lot of other stuff looks pretty bad.

I was just searching on ebay for Lynn_holly Johnson and found he has 1 does this look authentic ?http://www.ebay.com/itm/LYNN-HOLLY-JOHNSON-YOUR-EYES-ONLY-Autograph...

hey this man chuck i know well, he is very legit, and has great autographs, ive dealt with him buying and trading, fantastic guy and knows his stuff, and does get a lot in person, hes personally sent me photos of him meeting the celebrity and so have i to him.  as there are many unlegit people out there, this man i recommend dealing with.

I would however stay away from this one he is offering based on authentic examples posted here on AML.   Also, having said that if he has purchased from sources identified above then like all places you'd better have a good handle on what u are buying.    I have found where there is one there are others and he may know his stuff as suggested but certainly doesn't know this one;

however, i argue with you on examples posted here and other places, im not sure any of you realize that most celebrities dont always sign the same, everytime, age is a factor, they change their style, also they may be hurrying their signature, for example johnny depp does not sign the same, he has multiple ways of signing, jamie lee curtis has changed her way of signing since the 70s and 80s, and their are quite many more too look at, thats why you need to research signatures examples from different eras, they do change, as yours changes over time, so does others. sylvester stallone is a good example, ive gotten sigs from him in person from different eras up to this year, he does not sign the same everytime. you cant batter some dealers without all, because, not everyone signs legit to what everyone else has. this is done primarily for the purpose of people selling and trying to make a fortune off their name signature, believe me, i was told this by numerous actors. when you find someone your comfortable with and you trust their offerings by using research not just one example. and some authenticators are bad about this, they go by one example and thats it. most celebrities you can contact and show them examples your looking at and they will tell you it is or isnt, ive done it when i dont get them in person. so i argue your suggestion of the picture you have displayed, look up other examples and look closer.

Arguments without substance is merely that. It's not worth the debate and merely a waste of time..  If you have exemplars to the contrary of pic posted then do post some.  You might also consider a sylvestor stallone thread of exemplars for others on those you have obtained in-person.

incidently, here is a typical Burt one; 

since I have also been known to be a cynic I also question this Keith Wren since he joined 12 hours (approx) ago after a question of an ebay seller is posed and then as the 1st post defends the seller w/o question.  Then a post post long on rhetoric and short on substance.  In an ideal word we should "all" trust who we buy items from.  However, I have found if you follow that theory a fool and their money are soon parted.

so am thinking this poster is nothing but some sort of shill but we shall see.
