<p>RR is a weird microcosm of collectors when it comes to value. It doesn't reflect a knowledgeable collector or the hobby as a whole.<br/><br/><a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.rrauction.com/search/results/?str=liebergot&navsearch=true&searchType=title&cp=past-auctions" target="_blank">Here</a>, for example, are the closed auction results for signed photos from Sy Liebergot.<br/><br/>You'll notice that many of those photos are exactly the same in inscription & image.<br/><br/>That's because they all have the exact same source: <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://farthestreaches.com/sy.html" target="_blank">Steve at Farthest Reaches</a>, who is still selling them today, for at least 50% off the price those bidders are paying.<br/><br/>Why are bidders at RR so eager to consistently spend over $200, even going as high as $300 to $500, for images that they can buy directly from the source for $150? And why are numbers fluctuating so much for identical items?<br/><br/>Because they aren't educated in what they're doing. They see something pretty and decide they want it.<br/><br/>I absolutely agree people should know what things are worth before they jump in and start buying them.<br/><br/>I also think RR is the epitome of buyers who don't know what the heck something is worth before they jump in & start buying it.<br/><br/>For example, someone on RR paid over $600 for <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/34389260600813--star-wars-harrison-ford/?cat=0" target="_blank">this</a> or $596 for <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/343142605891151-harrison-ford/?cat=0" target="_blank">this</a> when a "Bladerunner" photo, dual signed by both Harrison Ford & Sean Young, with a sit down sig & impeccable provenance just sold about a month ago, directly from Coolwaters, for between $500 and $600.<br/><br/>RR bidders strike me as people who only know RR & absolutely nothing of the collecting world outside of it. They're the last place I'd look to get a reasonable idea of what anything is worth--and one of the first places I'd sell if I decided to part with my collection.</p> If shaky writing was from age…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2022-05-14:3524372:Comment:17494072022-05-14T19:27:21.736ZStevehttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/SteveKahldon
<p>If shaky writing was from age, it would be evident throughout the signature, not only at the beginning. That happens when the person is not quite sure how to start (pressure, speed, slant, etc). Then they get going and it smooths out. Also, nobody stops and starts midway through the first letter unless unsure what they are doing. As already stated, if the person were signing on the street, in a rush, they would not take the time to stop and restart, just doesn’t happen that way. </p>

<p>This closed at $1665 last year. with the juice (Buyers Premium). Vintage photo and clear older signature. Not optimal contrast or placement. It is not even color. I doubt it is an official print as well - ithe photo is overcontrasted, cropped and lacks fine detail. There is a whole range of greys missing.</p>

<p>Absolutely. Without self education and research from the get go you are an open target talking like this. Why do you refuse to tell us what your friend is asking??? You are able to respond but not willing. Do you know the value of a Ford color SP (Signed Photograph)? This all suggests you know you are wrong on some deep level.</p>

<p>The comparion you showed is not apples to apples. One is signed on a flat surface while the 3 others are written on a <em>felt sphere</em> with a Sharpie or fibre tip. That is not ideal. Very different situations.</p>
