Regarding NE autographs: I bought a signed Obama book which turned out not to be the one listed and also an obvious forgery.
They ignored all my requests and I finally decided to get tough. I cut and pasted 100 emails and sent them every day, loading up their mail box. Each was from a different address and a different subject,so they had to open them.
After a week, they sent a full refund. Hope that helps.

Just looked at their site. In my opinion forgeries abound. Hope they are not from New England.

Sandie,

Thanks for sharing your experience. This place is bad news. There is no doubt that something is not authentic when you have a James Dean or Humphrey Bogart poster supposedly signed by them yet produced 30 years after their passing. Best of luck getting a refund.

Thanks Tricia

I am still trying to get my refund!
If they were UK based they would have had the Office of fair Trading prosecuting them!

Sandie -

Consider a complaint to U.S. Postal Inspectors based in the area where the item was shipped (New York City). It's a long-shot but certainly better than the FBI. Years ago I had an agent friend track them to a post office box three blocks from his office (!) but frankly the scale of their fraud just isn't enough to get them involved in this case.

Best of luck.

I to early on fell for neaautograph. They have been selling the same signed dead poster for over 4 years and have been contacted to look at at least 3 I purchased the very same poster on line advertised as the very last poster ever signed by the dead at the Soldier Field show after consulting authenticators and reading on this site ive learned enough to believe was ripped off.

We received the email at the bottom of this comment from a member account set up in the name of Sam Finely. He claimed to actually be Sam Baxter, an attorney representing Neautograph. They demanded that we take down this discussion and anything else on Autograph Magazine Live! mentioning their name or their URL.

I declined, but offered for them to join the conversation. They declined and reiterated their demands, threatening to sue us, take down our Web sites, etc.

I didn't think it wasn't from an attorney, or anyone with any legal knowledge. I looked up the law firm, found it existed, emailed them, and was directed to the REAL Sam Baxter. This is what I received back (Mr. Baxter gave me permission to use his name.)

Has anyone else here been threatened by someone representing Neautograph?

If you have, please don't let them intimidate you. Contact me.
