Hi, does anyone have any opinion on guaranteeautograph.com? I am considering purchasing a Henry Ford signature from them, and I wonder whether anyone has had any experiences with them, positive or negative.
I have to agree 100 percent with Bjarte. Every item i have ever looked at on their was fake in my opinion. I just did a quick check of some names i am familiar with to see if they have cleaned up their inventory, and they too were all fake in my opinion. If it were me, i would certainly stay away. I honestly cant say i have ever heard a good thing about them or ever seen an authentic auto from them. They may be their, i just havent seen them.
As far as reputation, i have only ever heard bad things, and i know no one who buys from them, or would ever buy from them. Personally i place them in the same category is NE Autographs/Nathans Autographs and Prestige Autographs.
Carl and Bjarte, thanks so much for your prompt feedback. Very helpful. I am crossing them off my list for sure. Two lessons come from this, both of which are stated frequently and eloquently on this board.
Lesson number one. This board is a GREAT resource for autograph collectors worldwide. Lesson number two. When an autograph is priced well below generally recognized market value, the odds of it being authentic are low.
I am so grateful for this forum and website. I just came across a ridiculous amount of fake John Belushi signed pieces. 12 I counted! I mean, really, twelve !? Came back to this website to check on this dealer and as I suspected, this is one to stay well clear of.
This site and community is invaluable!
