Brandon Mysinger replied to no name's discussion 'Autograph Quarterly Magazine'

It may have been that all of these bannings from eBay has cut into the budget. Sadly though, I'm sure that they will print something to honor the subscribers ( not like it's a big # ). Maybe they can then write an apology to Steve about…

Here's the latest additions to my collection that arrived today. Thanks to my NASCAR Race Points they were totally free. On top of that they are 1 each of only 100 Autographed sets to come directly from Lionel/Action.

Brandon Mysinger replied to Christopher Williams's discussion 'Amazon.com Promoting Autographed Memorabilia....Derek Jeter Mickey Mantle Forgeries Found'

That is very interesting. We will get to see exactly how willing Amazon is to police its listings. I wonder what made Amazon decide to market autographs with such a major ad?

Brandon Mysinger replied to Christopher Williams's discussion 'Amazon.com Promoting Autographed Memorabilia....Derek Jeter Mickey Mantle Forgeries Found'

The same has happened in NASCAR too. Not as bad of course. Mostly, ithe bad items were autographs we had removed from eBay in tbe past. Does it look like a repeat of Always At Auction? Regarding the baseball items I mean.

Brandon Mysinger replied to Steve Kahldon's discussion 'Another Brick in the Wall..........The idiots at PSA have done it again!'

That's not what I said, not at all. However, the mindset of the new members of the hobby is more geared toward a coa rather than the actual signature. That's dangerous. There are plenty of cases of buyers simply buying…

Brandon Mysinger replied to Michael Schwarz's discussion 'Ist this McCartney real?'

Exactly! The replies you received serve the exact same purpose as a COA. If the opinionators actually authenticated the signature on it's own merrits, then it will be as authentic 100 years from now as it was when they replied to you. An…

Brandon Mysinger replied to Steve Kahldon's discussion 'Another Brick in the Wall..........The idiots at PSA have done it again!'

Are you serious? As a paying customer, YOU have to follow a chain of command? Wow!

Feb 2

Brandon Mysinger replied to Steve Kahldon's discussion 'Another Brick in the Wall..........The idiots at PSA have done it again!'

And the COA/sticker mindset has been the major destroying force of this hobby. The average autograph buyer has been dumbed down thanks to the absolute insistence by authentication companies and sellers pushing these coas and related products.…

What do you collect, or want to start collecting?: Sports, History/Politics, Modern Hollywood and Stage, Classic Hollywood and Stage, SciFi

Tell us more about your collection, specific areas of interest, etc.:: Brandon Mysinger has painstakingly acquired the most extensive NASCAR autograph exemplar collection in the hobby today. Brandon has acquired his authentication skills by working close with several top name drivers while learning the different variations to each autograph. These skills are honed by using forensic skills to further fine tune Brandon's authentication abilities. Brandon's opinion is valued by several authentication companies, Autograph Magazine, and auction houses such as ebay. Brandon's EXTENSIVE Exemplar collection holds a vast number of collected variations from each NASCAR driver throughout the past 21 years and beyond which aid in the continuing education of this hobby.

Brandon has obtained such an extensive Autograph collection Over the last 18 years by obtaining the drivers autographs in-person and working with various drivers and teams at many NASCAR tracks and special autograph events. His collected autographs range from drivers in the 1950's to current Super Star drivers and Rookies. Brandon has authored articles published in Autograph Collector magazine that focuses on signature studies and is currently writing a book regarding the NASCAR Autograph hobby and it's history.

Brandon's extensive research and consulting work with other industry experts make his opinion the most sought after in the hobby when in comes to NASCAR signatures.

Brandon has time and again shown that authentication should be less about making money and more about educating buyers in hopes that they will not be a victim of a forgery.

Brandon's current opinion is that NASCAR autograph forgeries are on the rise faster than ANY other section of the hobby. This is mirrored by NASCAR's international growth and continuous gaining of popularity. The huge DEMAND of NASCAR driver's autographs can not meet up with the supply. Though it may be that EVERY NASCAR driver signs HUNDREDS of autographs a week during the race season, the supply can not be met in the market due to the high number of COLLECTOR'S who keep the autographs out of the commercial system.

Harrison Ford...Real v.s. Fake

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 10:57pm 7 Comments 0 Likes

I see a lot of questions around the internet and collector's chat regarding Harrison Ford autographs. Quite honestly, Harrison is a very good signer and is out in the public quite a bit ( unlike some stars that only appear during a movie promotion ) in California and NY.

Harrison is one of the top names in the last 30 years of entertainment and is by far one of the most desirable autographs for any collection.

Since I have been regarded as one of the world's…

NASCAR'S Jimmie Johnson......signture variations.

I have just added a discussion about the 4 time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion's signture structure and signing habits. I wanted to get this information out because of some recent problems where a couple of Non-NASCAR specific authenticators have been failing authentic Jimmie Johnson signatures. You can find that discussion here…

HARRISON FORD...just sent me another autograph....

Posted on March 23, 2010 at 7:54pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Well, I simply can't believe my luck. After receiving the signed copy of my Official Indiana Jones Magazine article f( the magazine article featured my Indiana Jones Collection and an Interview with me ) from Harrison, I wrote him again thanking him for his gift to me. I also asked if I could have an 8x10 signed to me since the Magazine was going to be placed away in my safe. I knew that it was a long-shot and that I was probably asking for too much. However, The Indiana Jones and Autograph…

At 6:16am on December 7, 2010, Kevin Pedersen said…: I was told to come to you about some questions I have about getting an autograph authenticated. The autograph comes from Clint Bowyer on raced used gloves. I do have pictures and posted them in the Nascar forum area. I don't know how to go about getting them authenticated nor do I know you is reputable in that. I was wondering if you would be able to help. It woul dbe greatly appreciated.

At 2:43pm on January 2, 2010, JB3 said…: Dustin- I would say, "Yes." I know you were wanting Brandon's trusted opinion, but here are some additional exemplars that have some of the same characteristics. I would say that those look a little funny because of where the autograph is placed on the card. -John
