"This is not the place to authenticate a Picasso.
If you have time spare you could save yourself a lot of effort by checking his catalogue raisonné - I believe there is at least one online."

I have lost touch over the last 15 to 20 years with how this inconsistent signer has developed so I am just not sure about this example which comes with zero provenance. I do "know" it is not…Continue

"Ahh…my bad, not such good value, then."
"5 sets of autographs by the whole band? It’s not bad when you do the maths.
Big upfront outlay but I actually think this is good value."
"Germany has a lot of higher.end dealers and knowledgable collectors, My observation has been that it is mostly - or even only - the crap which goes to auction there on this particular platform. It has become a bit of a dumping ground in that…"
"Definitely atypical. Who's selling it?
It's a confident autograph though - I don't see any hesitancy, nor any attempt to mimic what I would expect to see. Secretarial?"
"Agreed -- so many fake and so few real items. Seems like the real ones have super high reserves -- so they know what they are selling. "
"A lot of their stuff is not legit imo so be very careful"

Has anyone on the forum ever dealt with this outfit before?I have been interested in a few items in their sales over course of the last couple of years or so but something about them doesn't sit quite right with me (a few questionables in their offerings have not helped). I have never actually registered a bid with them.I would be glad to hear from anyone with experience, favourable or not.See More

About Me
- What kind of member are you? (Check as many as apply.)
- Collector, Dealer, Other Professional
- What would you like to tell us about yourself, your collecting, or business.
- Collector and catalogue/internet bookseller since 1990. I chose to become interested in signed books from the beginning because very few others seemed to specialize in these at that time.
Although it is a fairly commonplace business model nowadays
With the very notable exceptions of Stephen King and Cormac McCarthy I believe I have personally obtained in-person autographs from the vast majority of the most prominent authors of the past 30 years including winners of the Nobel prize for literature. Many of these encounters have been the most fascinating or memorable experiences in my working life and I feel privileged to have had them.
