Michelle -- I assume you mean "gottahaveit" rock and roll??

If I am correct and if I were you I would tread very carefully with that business.

Their reputation with some collectors is not great...

If you decide you want something please check with as many people as you can

And if there was one company where the old adage "when in doubt --don't" applied -- this one might be at the top of the list.

Hope that helps!

Most auctions offer no guarantee of authenticity, so it's especially important to make sure an autograph is real and properly described before you bid.

Anyone seen this before?

All other things aside, I myself would never break up a piece like this-which MJ intended as a 6 page piece- and sell pages individually. Further, I think it is more valuable not broken up so it seems there is no financial motive to break it up. Very weird.

Opinions?

This topic reminds me of some ocean liner dealers who take original length sections of molding and cut them into 3" bits for profit (there is profit here for some). Or taking a contact sheet of photographs and cutting them into 12 separate images for sale. Like when you see a single word by Lincoln offered...kills me. Or whole sigs trimmed from letters - context gone. I saw a Bowie ISOLAR business card trimmed to a "meaningless" loose sig to fit inside a slab! Context and value - GONE!

Their guarantee you speak of John -- it's been my experience that most of these place make you jump through hopes to take "advantage" of their promises.

And if YOU can't prove the item isn't genuine to THEIR satisfaction -- you're out of luck.

To no one's surprise I suspect it's often impossible to return an item -- I'm sure it doesn't happen very often that "gottahaveit" issues any refunds...

They've got a couple of Elvis autographs in their current auction that are laughable
