Garry King replied to Eddie Anderson's discussion Autograph investment.

"I have to agree with Mike Kasmar, as when you are looking for the best investment potential, you need to be looking for names that are still with us, not those that are already long gone. Guitars are my favourite signed items, and i always take…"

Mike P left a comment for Garry King

"Hi Mr. King. Steve Cyrkin directed me here about a question I have regarding two websites that sell autographs in the UK. I'm wondering, do you know if icons.com and sportsignings.com are legitimate dealers? Your response…"

Garry King replied to lgee's discussion Ringo Starr & George Harrison autographs - Opinions please

"Both signatures are simple fakes, neither of them top notch either. But that aside, it highlights a problem that many of us in the UK have had, and that is that eBay will remove an item, because they say that it has been reported as possibly fake.…"

Garry King replied to Chris Marlowe's discussion Real or fake guitar signed by Rolling Stones??

"Re Art of Music, i recently had to authenticate a couple of items sold by that company to a collector over here in the UK. The collector bought them whilst on holiday and was taken by all the fabulous items they had on display. Needless to…"

Garry King commented on Steve Cyrkin's blog post Fraser's 100 Index of Rare Autograph Prices: Do the Numbers Add Up?

"No they are not kidding, those are the prices they have in their shop, but i can't be sure they sell at that price! I do know that if you go to the shop and try and sell them something, they either won't buy it at all, offer you a very low…"

Garry King replied to John Smith's discussion Real Or Fake: Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" Signed by All 4?

"I put this down entirely to the lazy way in which ebay.co.uk police the site, because in a word they don't (OK, so that's two words!). Recently the MetoplolitanPolice arrested this guy for selling fake signed books on…"

Garry King replied to John Smith's discussion Real Or Fake: Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" Signed by All 4?

"The Floyd signed album is rubbish, as are the other items the seller has sold on eBay. The seller is based in the UK, so i can tell you a few things about this kind of rubbish that abounds on eBay.co.uk (take a look!). First, this seller is in…"

Garry King commented on Steve Cyrkin's blog post We've Been Sued by Christopher Morales

"I wish you well Steve. For the record i would just like to say that CHRISTOPHER MORALES is a FRAUD, and agree that every item that i have seen that he has authenticated was a afek, and i would be mor than happy to stand in court and say it again.…"

Garry King replied to Mr Zipper's discussion Charlton Heston Secretarial Signature Study

"This has been a fascinating discussion, thanks everyone for the input. I think t fair to say that most dealers have had a suspicion about these for many years, and many never sold them unless they were from an person source. Its not hard to see the…"

Garry King replied to kevin conway's discussion eBay Finally Cracks Down on Crooks, Forgers and Frauds

"Kevin, just cjanced upon this thread, very interesting! I believe eBay also have an EMR program in mainland Europe, but not it seems in the UK. Here we had a great eBay forum that last year succesfully had removed a stack of forgers, and we did…"

Garry King replied to inf73's discussion Masterpieces from Autographs America, Autograph Central Pop Culture Signatures

"That first album is a classic....silver pen! But the sad thing is that people will still buy it. As Steve has said, these forgers don't stop, they are crooks, which means they are liars and they will often believe their own lies as…"

I was working on a programe for the BBC about fake autographs, and i was talking with the presenter about this, and he told me that he had recently handled a Shakespear document for another programe, and he never realised how valuable it was, so i amde sure i shook his hand there and then, so that is as close as i am ever going to get!
