Barrett Jackson Auto Show HUGE AMOUNT of FORGERIES!!!!! BEWARE!!!!

I was at the Barrett Jackson today and there were two large walk through displays where they put up framed items on portable wire walls. Every item that I saw was FAKE! Of course, everything had the overdone matting and framing. Most had Global Authentication.

Items such as signed guitars, drum heads, large photo's, jerseys, record albums, huge posters cast signed by all members of Star Wars, etc. Imagine every high end signature all in one place! Jimi Hendrix signed album including his band, McCartney, full Beatles signed items, Jordan, Brando, Koufax, Harrison Ford, Pacino. The list goes on and on. I confronted one guy who was acting as if he was in charge and he walked away from me without saying anything. I made sure to say it loud enough for others to hear me.

If you go to the Barrett Jackson, please don't be fooled into buying anything. Look and laugh, but don't buy!

I agree with you Steve. There are a lot of places like this that rent space to exhibitors that sell forgeries. Another big one I've seen is the NFL Experience that goes on all week alongside the Super Bowl. I've been to three different years and saw the same thing. Tons of forgeries being sold.

No accountability.

I've seen the same thing here Rick. The NFL Experience is a crooks dream come true.

Rick, if you go to BJ this week, take a quick look at all the crap. I think they are set up under the name of Millionaires something or other.com

I haven't been to Barrett-Jackson for a number of years, but the last time I was there a Millionaire Gallery was a vendor and I was concerned about authenticity.

I noticed that in recent years you, if you are millionairegallery.com, started offering laser-cut autographs and then the Al Pacino private signings, which were witnessed by PSA/DNA.

But whether it was your company or not, for a many years I saw autographs at a Millionaire Gallery that I was extremely concerned about.

yeah, but that is what Royal art was doing on cruise ships. Their bust was public so you would think barret Jackson and others would be aware and more vigilant.

A Millionaire Gallery was there last time I was at Barrett-Jackson. It may not have been you, but I wasn't happy with what I saw. I am as concerned about The Art of Music as you are. As I am of Rock Star Gallery in Scottsdale.
