We now have a Musician-Direct Autograph Sales Forum where you can post individual discussions of new offerings. It's a big change—and a big improvement. We closed this discussion after 8 years but it will always be available to read.
The new system has been in place for 2 months now and it's working well.
This video shows you how easy the new forum is to use.
You can follow the forum and be notified of new signings exclusively! And you can enter a musician's name in the forum's search box and find any discussions about them.
Be sure to click the Follow link at the bottom of the list of discussions.
Try it...I think you'll like it.

It can be nice when one stumbles upon a musician's shop (via their website), to see that they are selling their autographs. I figured this could grow as a wee database for listing those musicians who partake in this.
I recently recieved a couple press photos signed in ballpoint from John Mayall's website (http://www.johnmayall.com/merch.html). I am also aware that you can purchase signed CDs from Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits(http://peternoone.com/store/). John 5 ( formerly Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie guitarist) sells various items signed, with an option to dedicate.
So, does anyone else know of this being done by other musicians?

How many people are doing the auto pen thing? I remember Niki Minaj was a high profile issue, and someone outed Kenny Rogers last month I believe.
This is shameful and is fraud IMO. Some of these items can be costly. There should be a law against this practice. All artists who do this should be outed by this community. I heard Jason Aldean is also auto-pen on his 'signed' cds.
I spent hours searching and comparing signatures on the Kenny Roger's Christmas cd until I found exact matrix matched autopen autographs. It was very disappointing and cost me a lot of time. I was able to get a refund but many people are holding on to items they were sold as "exclusive autographed" items that were not.
I don't think most people realize how bad it is. I believe Chloe Kardasians books are auto pen and some other Barnes and Noble books have been accused of it . Keith Richards also. Not sure of Jerry Rice but there are a ton of them out there.Im gonna mention it to a state legislator that I know but she will probably act concerned then do nothing.
I expected to see it pop up on occasion with the promo CD booklets (i.e. Newbury, JB Hi Fi, etc), but I'm kind of surprised I haven't at all so far - or even heard of such issues for that matter.
How about Looney Tunes? All good so far?
People seem happy, though I still don't get what happened with the Neil Diamond signing. The inconsistencies there are what made me and a few others nervous.
Speaking of . . . Newbury just listed Anthrax signed CDs.

Over at Raac their talking about the same thing with Stevie Nicks and Sting mentioned. I did buy a Sting lp at his merch booth but the albums were signed differently and it doesn't appear to be autopen. The neil Diamonds don't seem to be autopen. Really sucks when artists are having themselves forged!
I don't thing Diamond was an autopen, The situation there was how all over the place that signing was. Some signed on the front, some on the back, thick gold pen, thin gold pen, black pen, etc. Not at all the consistency you expect from a signing, and it threw a few of us off.
Hopefully that just meant they were really signed with switching pens and placement etc. Love the Zombies!
