I am having a tough time trying to figure out which Autograph companies are trustworthy. I think Autograph World is fine. RR Auctions seems ok but kind of pricey. I have my doubts about AACS...I've seen a lot of questionable things there. Can anyone give me there opinion about any of these dealers? I'm mainly interested in Music Autographs.

Hi Greg. They have been pretty solid eBay sellers for a quite a few years. I do know they do buy and sell collections so like most that do that there will be the good, the bad and the ugly in the mix. A lot of their "vintage" stuff I have looked and most seems good. I do not like the Jackie Gleason though. The other three look fine. James Whitmore looks good. The Star Trek ones I do not know well enough but would want someone with better expertise to take a look before I bought. Were the ones you had questions on modern ones or more older?
It's not unusual for a dealer to be pretty good on vintage autographs but fall apart on modern celebrities.
Just to report a recent experience with JG Autographs. They had an eBay listing for an ALS by William H. Prescott. I put in a bid of about half what I was willing to pay. There were only two other very low bidders after several days, so I took a more careful look at the item. It was not an ALS but a printed item. I sent a message asking if that were true, and that if it was true, then please cancel my bid. They replied that it was true. It was not an ALS, but claimed they could not cancel my bid. I told them they could. Finally they did, giving the reason that I wanted out of the bid. Nothing about the listing being in error. In fact, the erroneous listing stayed up. That they kept up what they knew was a misleading listing and lied about my reason for my bid being cancelled, made me lose all confidence in their items, many of which are just signatures and are very difficult to confirm as real, without any provenance or supporting documentation. Just a factual report as to what my experience was, but I urge all to be careful
