First off, let me introduce myself to those of you you who may not know me.  I've been writing professionally since 1988 for newspapers, magazines, websites and three books in a chapter book series, and another three biographies, most recently about WWE Hall of Famer, Blackjack Mulligan.  In the field of autographs, a contributing editor with Autograph Times, and Autograph Collector Magazines.

In the strange, naked city of autographs, there are lots of tales. Some good, some…

You know what I love about presidential memorabilia? When there are stories about it being released or auctioned, they’re fun to read. It’s a part of history. And it’s the thing I care least about collecting, so I don’t worry about any of the auctions (it also helps that it’s usually out of my price range.

Recently in Austin, Texas, an entire collection of 100 love letters written between Lyndon Johnson and Lady Bird, during their three month courtship in 1934, were made available to…

Signed photo, signed basketball, jersey i'm looking thanks.

Since getting back to collecting there was three pieces that I knew I had to get back into my collection. Years ago I have had the chance to meet Meet Mickey Mantle and it started me on my journey of this hobby. My brother has that ball still he basically conned it out of me as a youngster. I wanted another one back in my collection for years. I ended up in the late 90's purchasing one form a  place called Stan the man in Tough Stuff magazine...We all know how that went!!! Since I have been…

Will someone id this autographed dollar bill?

I found it in my change.

I had a doctor friend in San Diego call me once and say “Dustin Hoffman just showed up. He’s here visiting his brother who is in the hospital. If you want his autograph, hurry up and get here.”

I grabbed my Graduate album soundtrack and headed over. I pulled into the parking lot before I said to myself – what are you doing? This guys brother could be dying, and I’m gonna show up with an album for him to sign? I turned around and left.

Here’s how…

I have had this for years now, i have my doubts about it being authentic. but wanted to hear what you all thought. thanks

Anyone  have an opinion about the authenticity of this current Ebay Listing?  It's for a Clapton Strat with 2 COA's??  I continue to see a lot of COA's from Hollywood Collection or Hollywood Authentics, but can't find a thing about them on the Web. …

On my quest to bring you autograph collectors the latest news, I came across something that struck me as incredibly bizarre this morning. That’s because I merely read the first line. Now, living in San Diego and having Steve Garvey be a hero for a homerun that helped get the Padres into the World Series – any news about him is big. Yet I read the story as: Former Dodger and Padres slugger Steve Garvey is battling prostate cancer. The 10-time All Star and 1974 MVP, had his prostate…

I would like to write a personal letter to Sam Bradford. I know that I can send a letter either to the University of Oklahoma or to the St. Louis Rams to have these two places refer my letter to Sam. There's no guarantee my letter will be forwarded. If anyone out there has an address where I can reach Sam, I would be most appreciative. I requested the same information for Heisman winner Mike Rozier and someone came through for me.   Joe Galiardi, author, Hooked on…
