Robert Zarrillo replied to John Gurk's discussion John Wayne Help

"The "o's" seem right - but the sepatration between the letters in not. There is a strange "feminine" roundness and preciseness to the letter formations that also isn't right. I think secretarial is very…"

Robert Zarrillo replied to Jennifer Odom's discussion Which Autograph Company can you trust?

"But if you are really a Horror fan wouldn't you also want Karloff, Lugosi, and so many others? Especially since unlike most of us, your background as a document examiner would make it much easier for you to spot the fakes. …"

Robert Zarrillo replied to Steve Cyrkin's discussion Should Experts Reveal Their Secret Tells? in the group Authentication and Forgery Alert

"What does one do with a signature obtained in person - but because it was rushed or the elements were a factor (wind for example) so that it "looks" like a forgery? I have one on eBay right now that a friend of mine got on a…"

Robert Zarrillo commented on Roger Furr's blog post "Gunsmoke" marshall Dillion James Arness passes away at age 88

"I tried to get his autobiography some weeks ago but was told he was no longer signing. I was lucky enough to get a signed copy from Barnes and Noble's rare books web site - where they list dealers offering rare and signed books."

Robert Zarrillo replied to inf73's discussion When did autograph collecting start and when did dealers start selling autographs

"Thats #2 on my list of top autographs of all time. First would be written by God himself on stone tablets, not signed but if you find one watch out for "double d" signed secretarials signed by his understudy, Charleton Heston."

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

"I should point out I've also recently sold Waynes at much less on eBay - where you can rarely get what something is worth"

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

"I think the concept is a good one. the problem is there is no standard for what an autograph is worth. If you collect coins and you have a particular coin date and condition - you know what it is worth and you can estimate what a…"

"yes the ancients collected autographs - but don't expect to fins a "Julius Caesar" around today - but there are still examples of signatures going back to those times. I saw an ad somewhere recently which said this dealer had…"

"About 3 years ago - and I agree and I think I noted it earlier somewhere that Trish was the most helpful person I dealt with at R&R. While I seek whatever aid I can get when it comes to "structure" of the autograph and what…"

"You are quite right. Auction houses pick and choose what they want to sell - and thats OK really - what bugs me is that when you come to them looking for advice you find you are just wasting your time (usually - I dont want to say this is so…"

Really a full fledged albeit minor autograph dealer since the early 1990s. Doing my best to authenticate material which comes my way but as you all know its a very difficult enterprise. I can be found at starmemories.biz, Hollywood shows in Burbank and Chicago, the Volo Antique mall in Illinois and on ebay at "bzarrillo" or store "StarMemories_of_illinois"
