Thanks Josh, I'll take that as a compliment! I don't doubt the guy showed up at the shop knowing full well, with that jersey, he would make it on the air. Cop's is the only reality show I know of that is not staged, rehearsed, scripted, faked or any…
If that's true Josh, then Drew's right—they do have lots of 'splainin to do.
So basically...here's what I think happened with the Gehrig jersey and the PawnStars show. I think the show needs to film SOMETHING. And, in the course of the day, they may get 4 customers. Two of them want to sell crap in their garage that nobody w…
I got autographs from Ben Jones in person today! I know this is not the right section but it was a cool experience! He played cooter on the dukes of hazzard.
Toaday's mail brought signatures of Hulk Hogan and SoCal Val! Thanks, Bob!
Well, like Desi said, the History Channel has some 'splainin to do...
I just received the following.
Robin Williams
Loretta Lynn
Laura Linney
Grace Lee Whitney
All very interesting posts. I'm glad so many threw in their two cents. I have to say...my favorite line of all is about not watching reality shows "....except Cops."
I seriously LOL'd on that!
Hopefully, business is about to pick up! I got successes from Mark carrier, Junior Johnson, and Howdy Holmes!
Tommy Tresh was and still is my favorite all-time Yankee and ballplayer.
So Christopher Williams is really Tom Tresh or is Tom Tresh really Christopher Willams... Whoever he is - this was a great piece and an eye opener for autograph selling on ebay or pawn shops! Nicely done... Now one more question - I have an old litt…
Christopher Williams , my apology. I read it the wrong way.
By the way, everyone. Christopher Williams is TomTresh2. He's coming out of the closet--hopefully not in a dress. He deserves our kudos for exposing the bad guys.
And by the way, I am the "tomtresh2" that does those YouTube videos.
To "Mike Miller." I did not call them "legitimate dealers." if you reread my comment I wrote that they (the crooked sellers) mix legitimate autographs with forgeries whether they are selling on Ebay or from their own website. And many of them financ…

James Cameron on TMZ: Think Again
Sometimes the media jumps on stories without asking enough questions.
Yesterday, Christmas Eve, was one of those days.
The lead video on TMZ's Web site was an airport encounter with a so-called fan and James Cameron. The "fan" had an "Avatar" poster he asked Cameron to sign. Cameron refused and the guy got pushy. Not like an adoring fan asking again for an autograph. Not even like an aggressive professional autograph runner—unless he was the dumbest one in the world. Because the way he acted,… Continue

- In an interview some time before Mr. Charles' death, he was purported to have stated that "I'll never sign anything I can't see". I have a signed photo of Ray and have often questioned it's authenticity. It looks secretarial with VERY neat handwriting...DT

- Hi Randy,
All his signatures are questioned, because he signed so little--some say no at all, but I don't believe that. What you probably have is a secretarial by Vernon Troope, his valet and constant companion. I don't have one handy, but it's fairly big and flowing and easy to read. Ray went blind when he was little so his signature wouldn't likely have the polish of an adult's--and none that I've seen and felt could be real did.
I have some brail Playboys Vernon signed. We got together for lunch a number of years ago and he told me the story: Ray Charles was a voracious reader and left brail magazines in every hotel he stayed in. The housekeeping staff would always send them to his next stop, thinking he forgot them. The next hotel would take them up to his room...and on and on. Well they were getting sick of this, so Vernon had the brilliant idea of signing each magazine Ray Charles. Sure enough...no magazine was ever forwarded again.
Upload the signatures and I'll let you know.
