van halen collector

It appears that a collector is selling personal items, as they are generally from the same musicians - many Skynyrd items only with Rossington so he looks legit, and he is listing a good number of Van Halen signed albums at high prices.  No COAS.  What do you think of this one?  I'm not a VH expert, but the Roth looks a bit atypical?  It looks too good to be true with the placements, the small EVH looks a bit too nice, but the other ones look pretty good?  …See More

"Thank you - that is something I've started to notice from questionable sellers - perfect placement and signatures that are a bit too nice for comfort.  I was looking for a Wilford Brimley autograph a while back, and sometimes he would seem…"

"Thanks for this, I saw some authenticated ones that looked like yours, with more curves to the signature and in a certain manner.  I'll know what to look for now.  "

"Any time you see the same pen used over and over again on a variety of autographs, it makes it that much more conclusive what's going on. Same silver paint pen, again and again. No thanks."

"Go to their eBay store and look at the other autographs. See how almost all of them are signed in a perfect place, correctly oriented and usually with high contrast? Notice how there's little if any skipping in the autographs? Unless they had…"

Keanu Reeves from Platinum Authentics?

Have been looking for something from this movie, mostly I see reprints.  I found negative things about a Platinum Memorabilia, but can't find any information on Platinum Authentics.  I would think it would be hard to say anything one way or the other on the signature itself, I haven't studied Reeves for very long.…See More

"The lady said she didn't recall the exact date, but thought it was around 1980 or 81, her husband managed stores during that time and the band came to the store to promote the album, so it would appear that she used to have less fancy, more…"

"From what I've seen, the bottom's of her J's and L's have gotten larger over time?  I've seen lots of examples of all 3 types of J's. "

Collector
What would you like to tell us about yourself, your collecting, or business.

What is your level of expertise?
Intermediate Collector
Why do you want to join Autograph Live?
Hopeful to get some opinions on some of my collections authenticity, and a few items on Ebay - trying to find a genuine Anthony Hopkins from Silence of the Lambs that I can afford, PSA, Beckett always says "not genuine" on everything I've checked, so unsure if they are just taking my money.
Who can we thank for telling you about us?
I did a search on PSA quick reviews, and your site came up.
What are your areas of interest?
Music, Classic Hollywood and Stage
Why do you collect?
I collect and display framed Movie Posters and art, and like to have a series of 8x10 photos around them, lobby cards, stills, publicity etc., and like to have 1 genuine signature per poster.
What is your favorite autograph in your collection?
Difficult. Rik Mayall 8x10, personalized "with love and violence", Series of large cards from "The Hitcher" with a few signed by Rutger Hauer, containing some entertaining additions such as "I'm Over Here" with and arrow on a scene only containing Howell. A signed album from Cheap Trick.

Ronald Reagan
