"I believe the Barry Halper letters are a complete fabrication created after he passed away. I do not recall ever seeing one attached to an authentic item. Very sad how scammers use the name and reputation of a dead man to rip people off."

"Premiere has the signed bookplate listed @$750 now, a small mark up of almost 1,000%." - Knob Dylan"
"Yeah, it seems that on eBay you can get these from re-sellers, far cheaper than from Premiere themselves...
Pretty cool that you can get a James Hetfield authentic signature for like 150-200$ now, this guy is nearly impossible to get on other stuff."

I am glad you avoided that whole thing. You were being - you were paying too much.
