"No, don't get it authenticated. I mean, if you're going to try to sell it, maybe. But Mcnabb isn't a Hall of Famer so...I don't think it's worth the money to get it authenticated."
"It's probably worth a few hundred bucks, since Scott Weiland is dead. I love STP, but they weren't as big as Nirvana (obviously), Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and those other similar bands of the era. If you wanna sell any of your items, let me…"
"For that price, it was worth the risk. I'm not familiar with his signature, but don't athletes usually sign on the number? (also, Google to see what his autograph looks like and you can compare that way)"
"This is off topic a bit, but....I'm a huge QUEEN fan, but thought this debut was easily one of the worst debut albums in music history."
"Again, I didn't find it rude. I was working all day at my other job or I would've responded."
"Also, when Autograph used to be a magazine you could find in newstands, and I wrote a monthly column for them, my boss (Hi Steve C.) would tell me "Dude, you need more photos to go with these stories" so then I started taking the photos of…"
"I didn't think it was rude. So many people lie about things. And he just wants to see the photo, so no offense was taken. I don't take pictures of the celebs because, if I ask for an autograph, they know that if you then take a photo,…"
"I will send you a private message. You might have to accept my friend request first."

"Not to brag, but I recently got a picture of One Battle After Another signed by the entire cast (except Sean Penn). I just wish I liked the movie more !!!!"
"Powerful closing statement, sir.
And, I bet you have a signature from God, and at least two from Jesus, for sale."
"Here's another thing. When he refers to us as "bullies" or whatever -- it's kind of like when the dumb women on the show The View, argued about Bill Cosby. Whoopie Goldberg said she knew him and because of that, didn't…"
"And again, these folks already did you a big solid. They told you some of the reasons WHY your stuff was so easily spotted as fake. A style of signature from the early 60s done in the late 60s. So now you'll know how to properly trick people in…"
"You just said "like minded collectors." You sir, are a dealer, not a collector. Big difference. And autograph dealers have incentive to lie, forge, etc.
To say you "don't make deals" proves them correct. Because if you could…"
"Here's something else you're not getting. Sure, your stories can fly with people that aren't autograph collectors, just fans of a specific band. But we ALL KNOW...yes, sometimes a signature can look completely different. Roger…"
