Questions On Music items from UK dealer

Garry King is well liked by some but I see a big problem with some of the items I see on his site. I'm not referring to Kenny Baker and other small bits but rather the large $$ music items.

Dealers in the UK might not be aware of current music item that they offer for sale. In another thread several autographs from Autografica were deemed fake. The items were Clint Eastwood, Charlton Heston and Harrison Ford.

He might not know there is a problem.

Oh sweet Lord, I deserve to be drawn and quartered for forgetting him. It must be my German heritage coming out ;)

I better watch that now that Disney owns Star Wars.

I agree Brandon, you did nothing wrong. Imagine a grown man being forbidden to defend himself by a 'club.' I go to shows and don't care if the dealers are a member of AFTAL or not. They could be a member of the French Foreign Legion as far as I'm concerned.

Steve, Brandon did not accuse anyone of "malicious behavior and criminal acts". As I understood it he was simply concerned that forged Michael Jackson autographs were unknowingly being used as exemplars. I am becoming more and more concerned that members of this website are being threatened into silence when they disagree with people who are not lowly collectors but are on the higher end of the autograph collecting pyramid.

Mike

thanks for those comments, I must add that I too feel that some members cannot state exactly how they feel for fear of recriminations from others.

I am very careful what I write because of something that happened to me in August regarding this debate

and therein lies the fundamental problem is this hobby gary. it almost forces one to take sides rather than discuss the issues as adults regardless where the chips may fall.

Sorry Steve. I agree with Brandon and Rick that something looks very suspicious about this whole story. Roger spent a lot of time explaining his opinion about the Michael Jackson items in question and he was basically ignored by people who asked him for his opinion. Have you been in contact with anyone in the UK regarding this story? It hasn't gone away regardless of how much some people wish to simply sweep it under the carpet. Please see if you can find out what has happened to the items in question. I am particularly interested to know if they have been removed from the marketplace to the best of their ability or if they are standing by the authenticity of the items based on their own findings. Thanks.

Mike,

I agree with you about how horribly AFTAL has handled this, and how suspicious it looks. And as I mentioned this early this morning, certain AFTAL dealers are still selling this material, but more discretely. You won't find it on their websites.

What I objected to was the way Brandon characterized Garry King, and what he accused him of...even though he phrased some of the accusations as questions.
