CLASSIC ROCK BANDS are hitting the road this summer!!

Though it is not easy, and in fact it can be almost immpossible, obtaining signatures from many of the classic rock bands and artists is a possibility as many are hitting the road this summer: U2, Eagles, Paul McCartney, Stephen Sills (and CS&N), Tom Petty, Sting, and many others are out on tour. Difficult??......of course it is. However, if they are on the road, then that is where it best can happen. Happy Autographing! Continue

Late Night Autographs -- Letterman, Conan, Aniston

I was catching up on the TMZs I had recorded on my DVR, and I saw that Jennifer Aniston was signing lots and lots of autographs before going into Lettermans show. This has become a place where lots of people now go to wait for the celebs.

I was in New York and saw hundreds waiting to meet Will Smith (he only signed a couple before going in).

It's smart of them to sign, because the cameras are watching. Aniston was signing photos, DVDs, and any item put in front o

Not Only Do They Sell for TEN Times Value , but is it even REAL?

I often see these guys from Las Vegas selling autographs for MULTIPLE times actual value.

Reputable Dealers Who Care About Autograph Authenticity

I am happy to report to the group that I have found 2 Autograph Dealers who care very much about the product they provide to their customers. Markus Brandes Autographs and Arundel Gallery's deal in Hollywood Autographs. I had contacted Markus, and Robert Saunders from Arundel recently about concerns I had about John Wayne autographs they each had for sale on their websites.

In both instances, I told each about why I questioned the items authenticity,and asked each respectively to take a secon

Corey Haim Autographs

I was interviewed on a radio station last night talking about the death of Corey Haim. The subject went into childhood actors, and I mentioned the VH1 list of 100 Greatest Childhood Stars, and Corey was #26. The list is a compilation of a lot of trainwrecks -- either dead or drug problems, etc.

Anyway, I just now thought about the time the cast of Lost Boys (about 6 months ago), came to town to sign autographs. It wasn't Corey Feldman and Keifer Sutherland, or even Jason Patric

Children should not own authentication companies!!

James Bruce Am I the only one that is sick and tired of the childish fighting going on between Authentication Companies? Really, grow up people. You really give a bad name to the business. I get emails daily of collectors fed up with these morons. Just do your job, give your opinions and give the collector useful information regarding the authenticit… Continue

R.I.P to Lost Boys actor Cory Haim

The actor from comedy horror film The Lost Boys, and other films, Cory Haim, has passed on , as the report says, from an overdose of drugs.

I never got to meet this young man, but he did attend a few genre conventions on the West Coast.

He will will be missed, what a shame.

Here is one of many links for his OBIT.

Helen Mirren Rips an Autographed Photo Up and Guess What Sold for $4,500

I couldn't believe when I was switching channels, and caught the end of The O'Reily Factor, hearing that he sold an autographed poster from him and Glenn Beck, for $4,500. Wow. Seriously, that's probably worth 45 cents. And, I'm not just saying that because I don't agree with their politics.

On TMZ, the show to watch for autograph thingies...the gorgeous Helen Mirren, who was nominated for The Last Station (her performance was great, the movie just average). She was signing lot

What does a CASINO and a STATE/COUNTY FAIR have in common? Think "AUTOGRAPHS"......

Yes indeed you can feel it in the air. Winter is on its way out and spring is upon us. With spring about to be here and summer soon to follow, we get thick into the concert touring season. Increasingly, two of the BEST places that I have found to nab musical autographs is at both Casino's and State or County Fair's. Many artists take part in pre concert or post concert signings. Also, because of the limited size of these events, access to the tour bus area is much more reasonable. My biggest

Muhammid Ali & Tim Tebow...Who Charges More?

Living in San Diego, I hear more Padres news than I care to. But out in Peoria, Arizona for the pre-season, the Padres were greeted by boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Tony Gwynn Jr, who has met some big names, seemed thrilled, saying "It's the first time I've ever been star-struck."

Only a few players got autographs of the living legend.

Across the U.S. in Jacksonville, Florida, Tim Tebow, who created a bit of controversy with his Super Bowl commercial, isn't even expected to go ver

Oscars and Autographs

Well, the Oscars were given out. And, very few autographs at the big event.

At least, that's what is usually the case.

It was nice to see George Clooney running up and down the chain-link fence and shaking hands and signing a few autographs (he had a Sharpie in his hand).

There were a few other autograph related stories regarding the Oscars, but they completely slip my mind now. Can anyone else add anything?

Lawrence Welk

Signed golf ball #252 will soon be added to my unique autographed golf ball collection. A friend played with the late Lawrence Welk many years ago and had the famous band leader sign a golf ball for him after the round. I now have twenty-three signed golf balls from entertainers such as Bob Hope, Clint Eastwood, Jack Lemmon, Ray Romano, Jack Nicholson, John Denver, Kevin Costner, and Regis Philbin, to name just a few. The entertaining and interesting stories behind many of my celebrity autograph… Continue

"JAWS" the 1975 blockbuster film that today is a treasure of internet autographed memorabilia.

Everyone has their favorite movie of all time. Thankfully, living in the internet age, we can go back in time and learn so much more of these films today, than we ever thought we knew when the film came out. Besides IMDB and other information sites, there are many fan tribute sites to some of the best movies ever made. These are the sites that I like to visit, as you get a very personal tribute to these movies of his

Autographed Drum Heads

One of the coolest items of Rock and Roll Memorabilia to get signed, are DRUM HEADS. Drum Heads, as far as instruments are concerned, are one of the easiest items to carry around as you are working on your autographing quest, leaves plenty of room for multiple band members or inscriptions, and once finished store very well, and/or frame very easy. Try using BLUE ink for your signatures (longest lasting color) and for me, frosted heads over the clear ones.
