Roger Waters BLASTS autograph collecting contingent and offers NEW rules to getting his autograph.

Posted on December 10, 2010 at 12:47pm 5 Comments

ran across this on facebook last night on Roger Waters page! he's pretty pissed... i know it stems from the Los Angeles area as i heard it was a total ZOO!!! Here in columbus, there was only 3 people on the way into the show and three people at the airport when he left. In Cleveland there was only 9 people there total for the several days he stayed in that town. But from what I am told, the first day in Los Angeles there were 8-9 people and he stopped and signed on the way into sound check.…

Just a quick question? Anyone heard of P.A.A.S. authentication services?

Posted on September 14, 2010 at 9:09pm 57 Comments

anyone ever heard of this company? here's a little blub i cut and pasted from an ebay auction...

This item has passes a IN PERSON perfessional review by P.A.A.S. (Professional Autograph Authenication Services) and has a Certificate of Authenticity to go with this item.

who would be your top 10 autographs you'd like to get.. alive or dead??

Posted on June 16, 2010 at 6:57am 10 Comments

hey folks.

alright, i'm working on an idea here at my home in ohio and wondering, since this is the autograph world... who would be the top 10, if you could get them yourself, autographs EVER... time is of no matter.. alive or dead is no matter. if you could be there to live the experience, who would be your top 10, doesn't matter the order either...maybe you could tell us why and how you think you'd react as well. i think it's a nice idea and just wondering what everyone else…

Yeah, Mike, I was just looking through it last night.

Until I received your email, I was not even aware he had a website selling autographs.  All of hist autographs look legit. From what I have seen from him, he does some great things for the hobby while at the same time participates in un-needed character attacks and name-calling. If he would stick to pointing out the mistakes of authenticator's and others in the hobby he may be better respected.

Cool. I appreciate the response.
At 8:40pm on March 24, 2011, Chad Blessinger said…

I was just asking. Not trying to cause trouble or anything.

So what the heck is he talking about?

I am trying to figure out if Koschal is a friend of the hobby or a nutcase like many on here say.  Did you have a bad guitar or something?
