Jim,

I will NEVER post a fake autograph. I understand the skepticism, but I came to this site

to hopefully interact with honest people. I hope Rogers answer to you will at least win me

the benefit of the doubt in the future.

Jim you are correct.  If you want the real deal they do meet and greets.

Hello Roger,

Good to make your aquaintance, it's impressive how respected you are on this board. You nailed my experience dead on except I was at MSG in New York July  25-28 1996 and was lucky enough to have a friend at The Garden named Joel Peresman VP Of Concerts. I was able to get 4 things signed by the complete band using the same broad tipped gold paint pen.

After that I have only been in the presence of the guys individually.........

I have some incredible items...Ultra rare if not one of a kind. I will be posting a lot of pictures over the weekend for everyone to see......NOT TO SELL......just to share.

John

It always baffles me when people claim something is fake or questionable because its all signed in the same pen or even same color pen.  I have many complete items by various people that are all signed in the same pen, because I got them to sign it in MY same pen.  Its not so unusual.

Actually Officer - Yes you did say they were fake. You said it was fake by stating ""looks like a joey meyers special if you ask me. Stay away from any KISS items, they are the most…".

Sure, you went back and later corrected your post after everyone else had chimed in. But that quote is still on the Latest Activity message feed on my phone and everyone elses that views this on a mobile device.

I could care less if you are right or wrong about something, but to say you didn't say it is untruthful. Shows a persons real character.

Jim is getting a bad rap on this. I agree with his points.

Hey Jim, you're so right man. Skepticism is an autograph collectors greatest tool. Obviously my Destroyer album is real, and I hope as I become a more active member that you'll at least give me the benefit of the doubt. Just wait, that Destroyer is just the tip of the iceberg. If you're a KISS fan you're gonna be impressed.
So, friends?
John

Jim,

The album was a gift from Frank Caraglio of Franks KISS Collectibles.

If you ever attended any of the expos that Richie Ranno put on in NJ in the 90s, then you probably knew of Frank and quite possibly me by default. Frank was a respected and trusted friend to KISS fans, collectors and the KISS community as a whole. His loss was tragic and he's deeply missed. So, no fabulous or elaborate story arouind that piece. Just a simple gift from one of the most widely known and respected dealers of his era.

 

I will be posting a lot of photos over the weekend and a lot of it is in-person stuff with one piece dating back to June 13th 1979 during KISS rehearsals for the Dynasty tour kick off
