Yes, they're among the few in-person collectors I feel quite comfortable buying from.  I believe Lester Freeman from Special Signings did some collecting with them and confirmed they were good, though sometimes a bit pricey. 

 

Their "exact proof" photos can be perfectly spot on sometimes - I have a Fred Armisten that came with a photo of him in the middle of signing that exact signature, no question about it.

 

I'm pretty sure others will vouch for them - I'm only one opinion after all and hardly an authority figure, lol.

Rob,
Richard's been around here for a while and has a lot of good input. I'd get more feedback, but if he likes them you're on the right track.

Steve, thanks - there might be a couple of things I know somewhat well, but tons I don't.   That's why I appreciate forums like this.

 

I asked some of the excellent dealers from the ACAF (ebay UK) forum about NewGraphs, extremegraphs, bkzcelebritypunk and aplushgraphs (Anthony Risi) a while back, and the feedback I got was postive.  I don't think authenticity is an issue at all with them.

Rob,  just so you know - NewGraphs has had "fire sales" before - auctions starting at rock bottom prices.  You can get some incredible steals.   They had one in December last year, though I have no idea when the next one might be.

Thanks for the advice.  I bought something from them this morning.  As far as being pricey, that might be a good thing because I want to buy photos from Clerks and Mallrats but I just spent $2000 at the viewaskew auction.  So I am hoping the photos will be there a while.

Yes, I got a Harrison Ford Indiana Jones 11x14 from Kingdon of the Crystal Skull  from the in 2008, The proof photo showed exact proof that it was indeed the same photo.

 

Their NASCAR autographs have always been authentic as well.  They don't get  much access to the drivers but when they do, the items are good.

Looks like they're having another one of their big Christmas auctions.  Tons of autographs with an opening bid of $9.99 on ebay.
