Authenticity is Everything
Authentic?
Just bought these two items as a new collector. They are pics from seller and I am waiting for them to be physically mailed to me. I have two questions:
1. Do you think autographs are authentic?
2. If real, do you recommend having them formally vetted anyway to ensure no question in future?, and if so, who do you recommend for such pieces? PSA/DNA, J Spence, others?
Thanks for your help!

I have seen that framing before. Who is the seller? What is the return policy? I would suggest asking questions before purchases - new collector or not.

Art of Music. Yeah I would totally agree with your sentiment, bought em as a new person to collecting thinking for sure no chance a big store like this could sell fakes (vs ebay etc), then while waiting for them to ship, found this and other sites that made me paranoid.

I do not believe you are paranoid at all. Read the thread Joe posted a link to.

Is this the company you purchased from?
There may be a discussion concerning this company. They still in business?

Yes. That is the company. They are still open. Went there last month at MGM grand. Found this website recently which raised my concern. I would send better pics but that’s all they sent me. I haven’t physically received them yet.

I pressed them to see if they would do a third party authentication with PSA/DNA. They claim that that company may not be the best for these types of autographs (vs sports memorabilia) but did say they may be willing to have a third party authentication done-at least thats what the most recent email they replied to me said. If I could get them to do a third party authentication, who would you recommend? Or would the best be PSA/DNA after all?

According to their web site, they recommend Drew Max. Note: Don't go that route! They do offer a seven day return policy although they charge a 25% restocking fee(imagine that). You have the weigh the costs although I advise you get any agreement on an authenticator with them in writing. Third party authentication can get expensive and, with framed pieces, all the shipping costs add up as well.

"...According to their web site, they recommend Drew Max..."
That is a problem right there!

None. Since they haven’t shipped them yet I’d get a refund now.

Unfortunately I think he has shown the best he has - the ones he bought from.
