Everything I've seen and heard about them thus far strongly suggests they're among the better bets for in-person autographs on Ebay.

Yeah, thats way at the top of the spectrum. I didnt bother to check what is autographed, but if its a standard 8 by 10, you can by an authentic Eminem signed 8 by 10 off ebay for around the 100 mark with no problem. Just have to be patient. But you can find them between 100 and 150 with patience. Thats 7 times the price at skyline. But each to his own.

Eminem also periodically has signed specials at his website. Last year he had these big limited edition posters autographed for i think like 200 dollars. Eminem is getting harder to get, but unless he is on a microphone or super rare item, his signature isnt even close to worth 700 dollars. Thats really pushing the envelope in my opinion. Big time. But if you got the money and want to spend, then each to his own.

Hi Carl,

Yes, our Eminem autograph is priced close to $800 due to the value of his signature and the considerable amount of time spent to obtain the autograph. As you know, Eminem is a very difficult signature and uses garages practically everywhere he goes. We were lucky to obtain his signature on a roll down out of garage while rehearsed at SNL and another spot in NYC.

Yes, our merchandise is competitively priced with other authentic merchandise which includes value of autograph and also considers the time spent obtaining the authentic signatures that we obtain on a daily basis. Also, be reminded the prices listed on ebay are "LIST PRICE" and best offers are accepted.

Hi, While the prices are LISTED at moderate price level. I do accept offers. In this industry, you get what you pay for. If it's too good to be true on ebay, it probably is a fake. I only have authentic autographs that I obtain in person.

I have purchased from Skyline Signatures without any concerns and I have recommended them to friends as well.  Good luck DVT.  Keep us posted.

Very cool.  Congratulations DVT.  Eric actually texted me on Friday to tell me that he had some success with her last week.  He shipped mine today.  Here are the other Hobbit and Lord of the Rings autographed photos that I purchased from him.  I am pretty sure that the Orlando Bloom shot is from Fellowship.

Skyline does get autographs in-person in NYC no doubt about that.

However, do keep in mind that Skyline uses 'White Sheets'. As a matter of fact, we just saw them last night at the Anchorman 2 premiere in NYC with them (ask them about Fred Willard).

You definitely do not want a white sheet in your collection as it will fade quickly and become worthless. Not cool at all. Who wants to pull out their prized autographed photo only to find it was an inkjet and has faded? Not me.

Any autograph seller that uses white sheets and does not clearly disclose it, is in my opinion, to be avoided.

I will publicly call out any autograph seller that I observe utilizing white sheets.

If you don't know what a white sheet is ask and I will elaborate further.

Also since most injket paper is letter sized @ 8 1/2 x 11 inches, a lot of white sheets that are sold are that size. Some sellers lie and state the item is 8x10 inches, but when you receive it, its actually letter size (8 1/2 x 11 inches).

Over time we are slowly educating the celebrities and their handlers (those who will listen to us) not to sign white sheets. It is working but it takes time...

I totally get why collectors use them but, when they don't disclose the fact, they hurt the hobby and take advantage of buyers.

As you can tell I hate white sheets and I wish they would just go away. Since that is unlikely to happen, on a voluntary basis anyway. I figure we just need to educate everyone and once the autograph buyers are fully aware of this and stop supporting dealers who use them, the white sheets will eventually disappear.

P.S. Just to be clear I have nothing personal against Skyline and his worker. Just the undisclosed sale of white sheets. Any of his stuff I have seen has been, IMO, authentic.
