Would someone be so kind to give an opinion?

The Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward isn't an authentic piece. I can't speak toward the other two.

Does someone have a tip for me, where to get classic ones?
A seller or store i can trust and not to expensive.

Remco, what pieces specifically? There are lots of good dealers, auctions, and eBayers. But getting a second opinion no matter how good the dealer's reputation is never hurts.

wel classic movie stars, i have weismuller for example...olivia de havilland .
i would love to have Danny kaye...abbott and Costello etc etc
Roy Orbison or Dean Martin ar high on the list, but they will be expensive!

Any auction where lots are pre-certified by PSA/DNA or JSA should be good, but get your second opinions before you buy, because all sales are final at most. Most UACC Registered Dealers and PADA dealers are good, as are AFTAL dealers (a UK and Europe organization). AFTAL (www.aftal.co.uk) monitors their dealers better than any other organization.
Markus Brandes in Switzerland is a great dealer for classic Hollywood (www.brandesautographs.com) and someone you should get to know.
You can always try to negotiate prices, so no matter what the seller wants, bargain politely but firmly. You'll win some, you'll lose some, but as long as you're friendly and polite you generally won't upset an experienced dealer by bargaining.
And don't forget, you can always get opinions here before you buy. Hope that helps.

Remco, i dont know if youve ever tried autographworld.com or not, but they are a really got site, and you can trust them in regards to authenticity. They do occassionally make a mistake but they always will refund and are very helpful. They sell alot of Hestons. They at one time were fooled by the secretarial Hestons just like PSA, but they gave refunds to everyone who told them they bought one, and now they make sure that they only have the legit ones. I see them up for auction every month. Typically in their signature pieces area. They normally go for real cheap, normally around 10 to 15 dollars. If that. I have also seen Bob Hope up several times at a real good prices, and have seen a few Paul Newmans. Unfortunately the Newmans typically go for qutie a bit, one just sold this auction and i believe it went for around the 200 dollar mark. So maybe their not the best to go through to get that one. But it just depends on who is bidding. I find great deals over their all the time and would seriously recommend you checking it out if you havent yet. They will post a new signature series lot probably by the end of the week. Hope this helps.
Chris
