    Hi John. I believe this Autograph Live social network is very well developed. There are still a couple of bugs as for example if you try to connect YouTube Videos but I am sure this is a very positive step for the hobby as long as only good dealer join the group. Hope to see you in June at Kesswil next year. We get further confirmations from Belgium as well as a lecture from a paper restauration company. You should visit your roots again ;)

    Hi John. Thank you for your kind words on my page. You didn't mention which post I made to which you were referring to. On another note, I've met a friend of yours and for the life of me can't recall which one it was. If you've ever heard any of your friends talk about knowing me, please let me know. This one has stumped me for months now. He lives here in CT around the Hartford area.

    Thank you for your message, Sir.
    You are most welcome to India. I think you will have no problem here as your wife is an Indian ( you have not mentioned to which Indian state your wife belongs). If you plan to visit my state Orissa ( famous for the Sun Temple and its rich cultural heritage), then I will be more than happy to be your host in Orissa. I live in the state capital, Bhubaneswar and my home is just 3 miles away from the airport.
    Hope to hear from you soon. Please send your reply to my e-mail ID: priyabratbiswal@gmail.com
    With best regards,
    Priyabrat

    So, Why don't I just help out PSA/DNA with their NASCAR items since 1. I do not believe in charging for rendering my findings, 2. I bring a DIRECT connection to ebay's Fraud Division Director. It would help out when bad items with PSA certs are found. & 3. It will show the nay sayers that we are all working together in order to make the community better.

    I have no interest in making more money. I have a GREAT interest in being cohisive and making sure that specialized experts are rendering opinons in all areas of collecting.

    John,

    Is that Tefillin on your head or are you just happy to see the Rabbi?

    Hey John. Sorry I never got around to calling. Do you have photos of either of those guys. To date, I still don't recall who it was. Wonderful information being posted on this site. It's a beautiful time for music!

    John AACS has several Obama autos on their current auction, If you happen to see them do any look real to you? Just wondering, they are clearing inventory so one has to wonder?

    Louie, I don't think any of their Obamas are good--but a couple are pretty close. This baseball is a glaring example. Can you tell how slowly the autograph looks like it was written? It looks more drawn than signed.

  • Lou reves

    Thanks John thats what I thought, It amazes me I keep pointing this out to the UACC but they do nothing about this, I have a real obama as I met him in Terre Haute in Sept 2008 when he was here and signed for me!

    Dear John, upon listening to your NPR story, I had to contact you. My dad is in possession of a 1848 print of "The First Prayer in Congress" that was coloured and signed by M.B. Taylor, the White House Hostess, and Zachory Taylor's daughter. Over the years we have compiled tons of evidence - but we haven't been able to track down her signature to prove it once and for all.

     

    It's so difficult to pitch this situation to people, and all of the research I have done has come up with dead ends. I can't find her marriage certificates or anything she may have signed for as  Hostess.

     

    I would love to present our additional info to you;  do you think you could help in any way?  I don't know if you hire yourself out for jobs like this or not... Any advise or assistance would be appreciated. This print has been driving my dad nuts for the last 20 years, and we simply do not know how to find her signature.

    Thank you so much

    Hi John -  Suggested I put my question on your page and see if you have any idea if this is JFK's wirting or perhaps his wife's.

    My original post is..

    I picked up this frame with a photo of John F Kennedy and on the back is a thank you note written suposedly by him on November 19, 1960.

    From what I have learned, the family of this Estate did know the Kennedys or the Grandfather did. Tom Cunningham. The note simply states Thanks for your help.. though I dont know what type of help but I am wondering is it real? It is writting in blue ink. I wondered too could it be his wifes signature?

    Note <--picture?

    Thanks in advance for anyones help.

    Steve Cyrkin suggested I contact you for your input and add a link to our discussion regarding a JFK autographed photo. 

    http://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/john-f-kennedy-signa...

    Some updated info on this photograph.  I spoke today with a Mrs. McCarthy who is also in the photo.  It was taken at the Statler Hotel in Boston, at first she said it was the night of the election results but quickly changed that to the following night because the returns had come in so late.  The gentleman in the photo was John Kennedy's chauffeur at the time.  I believe she said Bob Maury but I will verify the name with her later.

    Any and all info greatly appreciated.  Mrs. McCarthy confirmed this photo was signed by him as well.
