purchased a few yrs ago - has psa/dna with sticker and letter...from PRESS PASS COLLECTIBLES  - Impressions?

does AUTOGRAPHPROS.COM have a reputation as being solid with they're autographs or not? and would the printed COA from them, with a hologram type sticker applied to the guitar (with matching serial # on the COA provided) be enough provenance for resale? (trying to consider the reputation of AUTOGRAPHPROS.COM -which I'm not sure of) - and wondering if anyone has some input into…

Greetings All,

I am looking for some help. I recently bought a Adrian Gonzalez bat and a Peyton Manning item and both were denied by PSA/DNA. Is this sellers stuff legit? I typed in there old name on here rightcoastcollectibles and it seems they have been bashed on here a lot with global authentics items. Also the name dirty_water_ink came up a lot to so I did some more research and they are now flagship_collectibles and have very similar items as the seller I bought my stuff from…

Had an interesting experience yesterday that I thought I would share. I met about 6 celebrities yesterday. Not a bad day considering it was bone cracking cold outside. I thought my feet would actually fall off, but I digress. After Mariska Hargitay and Will Forte,  I met Kellen Lutz, the star of the new Hercules. Really super nice guy. He signed and took pictures with everyone. He did however require that everything be signed in black. I prefer blue, because it is a much bolder signature and…

The first time I heard The Everly Brothers was as a kid watching Happy Days on TV in the ‘70s. I loved their harmonies and ballads. As a teenager, I was looking for a song called “Poor Jenny” from a German opera, and found a song of theirs with the same title. I had forgotten how much I liked them, and got a CD compilation of all their hits.

At the NAMM event in…

We have never observed any authentic autographs with a worthless…

Hi! Happy to be part of this web site. 

I have posted many photos, please take a look and see only a fraction of my collection!

Thanks and hope to make friends on this site.

I can take or leave the band Kiss. I have a few of their albums, a few of their CDs, and as a kid always made fun of any of anybody that dressed as one of them on Halloween. That’s why it makes it so much more frustrating when I didn’t get guitarist Ace Frehley’s autograph. You see, as an autograph collector, the two most frustrating autograph attempts are: A) the…

Was poking around in an antique store in Marietta, GA, the other day, and came across these 2 autographs for sale. Wondered what everyone else thought about these.

First, a Gerald Ford signed Sports Illustrated magazine. To me, it looks like a really bad forgery.

Second, I saw this Bob Hope autographed album next to it. Looks like it could be…

Here's another set of Mickey Mantle/Joe DiMaggio forgeries on a photo with a COA from GAI (Mike Baker).

As we all know, GAI (bankrupt and out of business since 2009) "authenticated (cough, cough)" thousands of forgeries with Mike Baker's name on the COA.

I was surprised when I got home from work today, turned on the news, and saw that actor Ryan O’Neal won his long legal battle over ownership of an Andy Warhol portrait of the late Farrah Fawcett. He had an on again/off again relationship with her for 30 years and when she was dying of cancer, he always seemed to be lurking around. At the time, I found it all very odd. I…

Well, it seems like just yesterday we were talking about Bruce Springsteen lyrics going for 200k (you can read the previous blog about that). Now it’s a Bob Dylan guitar that went for a cool million!

Now, I know a little about guitars and what they sell for. My friend Greg Dorsett owns a business called “Rock Star Guitars” and they have dealt with a few Jimi Hendrix…

Check out these ugly looking Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams forgeries on a photo.

I hope the winner of these Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams listed by Ebay seller…

Often times, people tell me how lucky I am that I get to interview movie stars as part of my job as a film critic. Usually I’m just interviewing them over the phone, but it is fun when they do the press junket and you get 15 minutes with them.

One writer talked about being invited to George Clooney’s house to interview him, and loving the autographed photos he had on…

Here's a typical set of Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Billy Martin forgeries on a photo found on Ebay.

According to Ebay seller Clint94531, this set of Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Billy Martin forgeries on a photograph comes with a COA from Shop At Home.

Of course, Shop At Home sold approximately $750,000 in forgeries to consumers during the "Operation Bullpen"…

It’s strange how people get when it comes to collectables. Just today, I heard that the gold medal Jesse Owens won in the Berlin Olympics in 1936 (talk about a big F-U to Hitler), is on the auction blocks. He apparently gave it to Bill “Mr. Bojangles” Robinson. If I were rich, I’d pay millions for it (it’s currently around $200,000); easily one of the coolest pieces of sports…

You can bet the buyer of those forgeries sold by Ebay seller Mrssslehmann will immediately list it on…

Since music autographs are the favorite in my collection, and I’m thankful for the amazing collection I have, I thought I’d share some recent stories that popped up in the news.

Here in San Diego, Michael Buble had a concert at the Sports Arena. I’m not a fan of the crooner (and I turned down a free pair of tickets to…
