What would you like to tell us about yourself, your collecting, or business.

I've collected for most of my 40 years. I've often found many items, especially sports collectibles (Mostly MLB) that are signed and have no authentication. I'm looking for a respectable group that I can trust for opinion's sake before offering purchased TTM items for sale or also purchasing autographed items. Thank you.

What is your level of expertise?

Advanced Collector

Why do you want to join Autograph Live?

I often come across many sports collectibles/cards that are autographed with no COA, I understand that many items can be signed TTM or in person with no way of identifying authenticity other than comparing online certified autographs. I'm just looking for peace of mind on some items that I either have in my possession or am curious about purchasing for my personal collection. Thank you kindly.

Who can we thank for telling you about us?

Why do you collect?

I collect because I love the hobby and am a serious sports and autographs collector. It's fun, a great pastime, and I find the search for auto's a great challenge at times.

What is your favorite autograph in your collection?

Some older baseball legends signatures such as Mickey Mantle, Pete Rose, Dandy Koufax items, etc.

You can ask anyone living or dead for their autograph. Who would it be?
