Hey Paul, per my earlier post, I am okay with sharing my sigs.  I am new to this site, VERY grateful that others willingly share their expertise and advice when I ask for their opinion.  So I feel that if I do have something to offer, I should do so.  My sigs, and some explanation, will be found in Lynn Wolfe's group "personally authenticated signatures."

I find that unless the signature is so rare that sharing it may lead to someone attempting to forge one from your scan, sharing is the way to go. Not much material out there is "so rare" that sharing will have a negative outcome on the hobby.

I used to be concerned about posting public because of the wrong people seeing what i own, which may lead to theft.

Frontier touring asked collectors to show their Beatles memorabilia on fscebook becsuse Mccartney is touring, Australia.
My mate doesn't make his collection know to the public because of the idea someone may steal his collection.

Collecting autographs is just one hobby, I also collect GUNS!

So I can understand that people without safes, excellent alarm systems and lots of ammo....might be concerned about sharing, but you certainly don't have to put your address and social security number up online with your scans.

Facebook is a little different, people can easily see where you live, from what you share.

All I can say to that is "Try and find me on Facebook."

Completely agree Pete, it is also the fun part of this hobby. I might not be able to own all the great pieces others do, but so much that I see intrigues me.

What is the point if you are just buying to just display on your own walls or keep in a binder?

It also gives newer collectors good and authentic examples to use in making their own purchase.

As Pete said, so many examples can be found online anyways for forgers to learn from,
