Some autograph collectors only want signed memorabilia. There’s nothing wrong with 8x10s signed by your favorite actor, but they’re a dime a dozen. You can go into Pink’s and buy a hot dog, and looking at a wall full of signed pictures.

A script signed by your favorite TV show, or cast members of a movie you like, is a lot more interesting. To me, a step above…

I have a couple of items that I want authenticated and one of them is a dual signed Dimaggio and Williams 8x10. I t was professionally framed and matted years ago but they will only authenticate it unframed. In your opinions I have had this looked at by some of you and most opinions were that it was legit so should I tear it out of the frame to get it authenticated or leave as is and sell as is ?

Anyone ever have any pet peeves about the way sellers list items on Ebay?  Whether they're red flags for forgeries or just all around annoying quirks, here are the things I can't stand to see in any Ebay auction:

1) "Guaranteed to pass PSA/JSA or any third party authentication."

I don't even know where to begin on this one.  From a personal standpoint, I don't have a particularly high amount of respect for any for the TPA's, so that assertion is inherently…

In the last week ebay has stopped responding to reports from their own EMR (enhanced member reporting) team. This team would report bogus items and items with COA's from banned authenticators. Usually the reports were acted on, sometimes very promptly, sometimes slowly, but usually the reports were being used by ebay. Though there were some very large ebay autograph sellers that seemed to have immunity to these reports.

Now ebay is not even listening to the EMR reports. Ebay is…

Recently on this site, a woman posted an autograph she got from Paul McCartney with a smiley face drawn on it. She needed to sell it, and we got the most commonly asked question we get  – “Is this autograph authentic?”

The amount of people that go buy some garbage on eBay and only find out later it’s bogus, baffles the mind. Yet it really shouldn’t. I’m guessing 90% of all autograph collectors have been burned at some point. It could’ve been on eBay, or a shop you trusted, an estate…

I'm in the initial stages of researching, and writing a biography of Guitar Hero, Roy Buchanan.

Known as "The Greatest Guitar Player You Never Heard Of" his playing was not only an influence , but a template for Blues, and Rock and Roll guitarists of his time, and to follow.

I plan on telling the story of his life of early poverty, learning "Black" music in the church, early recording successes, traveling the world playing, becoming the king of the small rooms, influencing…

I just recently joined the website and want to buy or trade some KISS autographs.  KISS autographs are almost like logos.  The signatures themselves are classic.  Its easy to spot the fake ones.  I've gotten lots of signatures from Paul, Gene, Ace, Eric Carr, and Vinnie.  Just a few from Peter.  I have some really nice signed pieces to trade for new ones.  I want to trade because I've had them a long time am ready for some new stuff.  I can authenticate your signatures too if need…
