I recently joined here and am fairly new to autograph collecting. Yesterday i posted a link to a Bruce Springsteen on Ebay and had many of you tell me it was fake (thanks!) One of the members here, Jarrod, messaged me tonight and offered me several of his Bruce Springsteen autographs. I asked him if he minded if I put it out there for everyone's opinion and he said that was fine. So, here are the ones I like best from what he sent me. Also, he told me to offer him a price. I see them going from one end of the spectrum to the next as far as price on Ebay, and now I don't know what's real or fake, so please, also, help me with value of something like this? Thanks SO much.

I said no offense, Jarrod, and only gave openly the opinion of one person, that's why I hoped for more opinions here. I told you I was going to ask for opinions and you said that was fine. I was surprised no one chimed in on this thread, because lots of people did on my other Bruce I asked about. Also, I think my friend was more worried about the second email you sent me asking me not to show those to anyone, it screamed "scam" to him, he said. His opinion, not mine as I am new to this. He owns 12 Springsteens of his own and is a collector with a massive auto collection, and that's just one opinion. I told you I was going to ask him and that's what he said. I would not continue this discussion here if I thought he was 100% correct! I think they look pretty good to my untrained eye. It's why I'm here asking questions and being careful. I'm not implying anything. I didn't come here to argue with you, either. If no one else wants to give me their opinions on these, end of subject and best of luck to you. I was nice to you when I turned you down and only replied here because there was finally a response here.
Just being careful, Jarrod. According to my friend, who belongs to way more sites like this than i do, some people actually DO email newbies on the side on these sites, sometimes, and do just that. Again, I'm not saying you were at all, I'm just saying I'm trying to be careful.
When you wrote me this:
Hey Lauri,
Just wanted to let you know that the guy I deal with has these available....he ain't cheap but is THE best on Springsteen graphs bar none.
Anyways I can talk him down on price but let me know what you think.
1&2 are albums
3 is a single album
4 baseball
5 photo
Please don't share these as they aren't mine....if your interested in any of them we can talk first.
Thanks
Jarrod
I forwarded it to my friend who felt those were probably fakes.
My friend's response to me was:
Anytime you hear "don't show anyone" or "don't tell anyone" write SCAM down with his name.
His opinion is the only one I got until Brucejuice responded here. If you are friends with many people here, and you ask them not to respond, perhaps then they won't. Maybe several of you stick together, I have no idea. I am new here. If you weren't prepared for a possible negative opinion, then you shouldn't have given me permission to ask others. I have been nice and said I didn't accuse you of offering fakes or anything like that, I gave one person's opinion and other than yours, that's the only opinion I have thus far. Brucejuice suggests you give better scans of some of those, does that offend you?
You contacted me, Jarrod, perhaps wasting MY time? You remind me of the ebay guy on the other thread who got so offended when I Iasked him questions...check that out and see how people from here responded over there. My tone was nice to you, as nice as could be. I put your email here only after you openly implied to me I was not telling the whole story, so I told the whole story. Feel free to post any of our messages or emails, I have nothing to hide. You never sent me copies of any certs, either.
I am sure you do want this thread closed because IF you are messaging newbies on the side and IF they are fakes, perhaps the administrators of this site should check into you. If you have nothing to hide, then I would think you might not be so defensive right now!
Like I said, not here to argue. You shouldn't have offered up anything for sale to me if you couldn't take any possible doubts or questions. Feel free to stop responding like you have twice said you were going to do.
Yes, you sound just like the EBay guy on the other thread.

People shouldn't be here if they ask questions about authenticity? I thought that's what this place was for? I never bad mouthed you and said I wasn't trying to argue with you. If you have nothing to hide, then don't worry, I'm just a naive newbie!
Could Dom Vito Castiglione or Rich or any administrators or even roger epperson possibly chime in here?
Well, that's good then, because I would love for an administrator to see the things you sent me on the side in your emails and to read this whole thread. And you are welcome to stop posting here any time, and then it won't continue.
I have spoken briefly to Wascher and want to show one more thing to Steve then I will say no more until advised by him.
Here are Links to the ones Jarrod asked me "not to show anyone", which made me suspicious and my friend suspicious, I think anyone here would have to question this, no?
