<p>Brandes Autographs have two currently up for sale at a fairly reasonable price on eBay. I'm unaware if the price is at all negotiable. signedsealeddel.com has a couple Elvis pieces on that website as well.</p>
<p>There were two pieces on eBay in recent weeks that I liked in a decent price range. One, the seller took the listing down and the other sold.</p>
<p>It depends really on what you're looking for, David.</p>

<p>I am interested in one day getting an Elvis signed piece. Are there any good values for authentic pieces on there right now. </p>

<p>There are so many, Markus. Most don't even resemble Elvis' genuine signature.</p>
<p>Here's a Dwight Eisenhower signed photo which matches a pre-print signature on isitreal. The $500 it sold for on eBay would be on the high side even if it were authentic.</p>

<p>It boggles my mind that someone would spend $2,250 on an autograph they obviously have no familiarity with and not get a $7.49 quick opinion. They must just not know. Perhaps all autographed items over $500 or maybe $1,000 should have a PSA option in the thread. I wish eBay would just get better at patrolling their site, at least for the most expensive blatant forgeries on there. The only way I'd ever believe Elvis signed this item was the time he took LSD. This stuff is just that bad.</p>

<p>I understand. But it still boggles my mind that someone would drop over 2 grand on something that a) they obviously have no knowledge of and b) based their decision on something as vague and nebulous as "an expert has said this is good."</p>
<p>I put more due diligence into a $25 baseball autograph.</p>
