The "Monsters" LP ended with no bids at a starting price of only $79.99. The cost of an LOA for JLL is $50.

Apparently so. It would have been a nice deal if it were authentic.

“Monsters” sold for $69, or $19 plus what it would cost for the LOA.

Very sad state of affairs.

Does anyone know the current price through Judith or if she is still taking them on?

JLL is one of my favorites, but the controversy has made me steer clear. Lucky to have seen him perform live twice.

As far as I know, the price is still $100 through Judith.

For a while, the Jerry Lee Lewis ranch was selling some autographed items on eBay (there's a direct link to their eBay store on the JLL website).  The autographed items (photos and books) were not inexpensive ($200 if I recall) but the autographs themselves looked really good and prospective buyers could see the actual autographs they would be purchasing.  I only saw 5 or 6 autographed items offered through the eBay store but I haven't seen anything offered in quite a while.  However, if you look at their eBay storefront, it still encourages people to contact them (through eBay I assume) for personalized signatures or something specific you're looking for.  This may be their new preferred way for fulfilling autograph requests.

Is there still any controversy with the autographs through Judith?

I remember reading about some rumblings about inscriptions and/or the signature itself, but I think that has been resolved so that new ones are not questionable. Is that accurate?

It’s still a controversial issue. Roger showed one of the Best Buy “Mean Old Man” CD insert signatures as being a prime example of a secretarial signature, and as being consistent with four TTM signatures. This was prior to the issue being “resolved.” He subsequently offered one of the “Mean Old Man” CD insert signatures for sale on his website. This is very controversial, especially considering that the price increase to $100 apparently was a result of the TTM secretarial claim.

I am not concerned with price, more about legitimacy. Well, I am concerned in the sense that I have thought about buying a lot, but I would only want to do that direct from the source and if there were no doubts. That can add up quickly.

I know the price increase happened quite some time ago, and I certainly can believe some of the previous TTM were secretarial, based on the numerous posts I read on it here at the time. I thought the ones after that were more or less regarded as being genuine, though inscriptions questionable. For me, if he they have to fake the inscription, that is one thing, as long as the signature is genuine. And that's not to say that was the case; just my impression and memory, which can be fallible.

It seems pretty dishonest if he offered a Mean Old Man insert for sale given that it is questionable.
