Anybody know anything about "Everything But The House" auction site?

I am new to collecting autographs and, dealing with a very limited budget, I have been looking around for authenticated pieces at reasonable prices when I ran into an auction site called "Everything But The House". They sell just about everything. There is one particular sale however which is featuring a number of PSA/DNA and JSA autographed items at unbelievably low prices (so far - 2 days left on the sale) Here is the link: https://www.ebth.com/sales/38200-art-housewares-decor-more I would love to hear any experienced opinions on the autographed pieces being offered in this sale.

Thanks to all!

my experienced opinion is that you are on a collision course with a bunch of fakes. "UNBELIEVABLE" low prices mean just that....your gonna get hurt with the limited budget you do have.. IMHO. "Run into" a legitimate dealer and you have a chance son. LOLOL. Now if I wanted to decorate with hand embroidered towels, that be my place....

Thank you for your opinion. I did not realize that PSA/DNA and JSA were so easily faked? I have looked up the ones I am interested in on their respective Cert Check websites and found them listed there under the same Cert numbers...There are also a few on offer with R&R Auction COA's that match up. Wow - what a minefield this is!!

Hi John,

I found this site about a month ago myself, and I was intrigued. They are an online estate sale, but they will take as little as a few items, not just an entire house, and perhaps consignments from dealers. I'm not sure.

I think they are completely legit, BUT they don't know autographs, coins, and certain other collectibles well, and they state that clearly. They have JSA authenticate some autographs. Other authentications came with the consignments.

One of the reasons prices may be surprisingly low is that everything starts at $1, and like many auctions, a lot of the bidding action may not take place until the last day...in some cases last hours.

Read their terms and conditions before you buy to find out if you have a return privilege, like 30 days, if you find out there's an authenticity concern. Perhaps you can buy the autograph, get opinions right afterwards from members here, and cancel if you find out it's probably not real.

Or if it's worth spending $5-15, get an online opinion from a respected authenticator who will privately tell you if they think it's likely genuine or not.

Be careful buying a bunch of these signatures with JSA stickers. Those guy are horrible with celebrity autographs. Calling them experts on these items is a stretch.
