Judge Nutmeg commented on Josh Board's blog post Have a Cigar -- the Winston Churchill Edition"Gary Oldman is indeed legendary. A very convincing actor who throws 100% into everything he does. My favourite roles of his are Sid Vicious from Sid and Nancy, Drexyl from True Romance and Lee Harvey Oswald from JFK.
Interesting post, Josh. You…"

As a cigar lover, and collector of memorabilia, I remember when a bunch of JFK items hit the auction block. There was a humidor that comedic legend Milton Berle had given to him, and it was engraved. It ended up going for half a million dollars.I thought of that recently when I heard that RR Auction recently sold a…See More
Josh Board replied to Mary Struck's discussion Are these autographs authentic"I like how they look, although I think they're REALLY GOOD forgeries. And the misspelling of George Harrison is a big, big red flagg (see what I did there?)"

Judge Nutmeg commented on Josh Board's blog post Wall of Shame -- The Autographs We No Longer Like"Oh my days! Totally forgot about Armando's little OJ stunt! Really funny bloke is that Iannucci - and he continues to write quality stuff.

Jenna Appleseed liked Josh Board's blog post Mark Hamill Fights Autograph Forgers -- Gets a Bill Passed in California !Josh Board posted a blog postThe Day I Met Tom Petty
I've never seen Tom Petty play live. I had a few of his albums, as well as his Greatest Hits CD (love his cover of "Something in the Air"). When I worked at a classic rock radio station in the early 90s, I was ticked when he did an interview show on another station and some of the DJs from our station went to the taping. They all got his new album, Full Moon Fever (with the terrific "Running Down a Dream") autographed. Had I know, I would've been there. Or at least given them a record to get…See More
Josh Board replied to john shaw's discussion BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN STEEL MILL bussiness card signed by bruce"Two questions. How in the heck did you ever acquire one of those cards????
Second, how much? Springsteen is my wifes favorite. I proposed to her by having a Springsteen impersonator do a song I changed the lyrics to."

About Me
- What kind of member are you? Industry professionals must use their real names and identify themselves as such. (Check as many as apply.)
- Collector, Other
- What do you collect, or want to collect?
- Sports, Books/Literature, Modern Hollywood and Stage, Classic Hollywood and Stage, Music
- Tell us more about your collection, specific areas of interest, etc.:
- For some reason, as a kid and teenager, sports autographs were my favorite. Especially basketball, as I grew up playing it. But as I became older, I started gravitating more towards singers and musicians I was a fan of.
My collection consists of thousands and thousands of autographs. Everything from CDs and albums, to movie posters, musical instruments as well as the usual 8 x 10 signed photos.
I have a lot of pieces that are very valuable, and I hate the fact that they are stored very poorly in my friends garage. But the fact is, I've run out of space at my own house. And even though I love collecting, I don't think they look good on the wall. I don't want my home looking like a Hard Rock Cafe, I'd rather have nice art work on the walls and things like that. So, that means all me pieces are just sitting in the garage or on my desk, etc. It drives my girlfriend crazy, but I can't complain. Many times, she's with me on my quest to score the next autograph.
- What is your level of expertise?
- Professional
- What is your favorite autograph in your collection?
- It would be a tie between a Morrison Hotel album, that is not only autographed by all four of The Doors, but also the photographer of the album (Henry Diltz), as well as John Sebastian (Lovin' Spoonful), who plays harmonica on Roadhouse Blues. My goal is to have it signed by everyone that had anything to do with the record, although, a few of (producer Paul Rothchild, guitarist Lonnie Mack) have died, so I might be done with it already.
I'm also fond of my Sgt. Pepper record, signed by 5 Beatles (all the four, plus original drummer Pete Best).
- Why do you collect?
- I think it's fun. But I'm so glad that as I've gotten older (I'm turning 40, the same year as Woodstock is!) I've chilled out. If I don't have an item for a celebrity, I don't rush up and bug them. Or if I meet someone famous, I'm not in a panic looking for a Sharpie. And it bothers me if I'm in LA getting an autograph, and some of the ebay dealers are doing exactly what I hate -- pushing and shoving, being rude, getting 20 head shots signed, and they aren't even a fan of the person that they're hounding.
- You can ask anyone living or dead for their autograph. Who would it be?
- If it's an actor -- Marlon Brando. A musician -- Jim Morrison. A historical figure -- Jesus Christ, although it would probably be hard to authenticate, huh? I'd also make him turn my Evian bottle into a nice red wine.

When a celebrity dies, I get a little bit sad thinking about all the work they did that I loved. Two recent deaths were a little easier to take, since they were in their 90s. Character actor and musician Harry Dean Stanton, who has been in at least 100 movies, died at 91. I never got his…

Since I do movie reviews in San Diego, I sometimes take note of autograph scenes in movies. I highly recommend you AVOID going to see the movie “mother!” I know, it has a great cast (Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, Michelle Pfeiffer, Domhnall Gleeson) and a talented director Darren…

Innuendo said… - Yes I'm sure. The auction I bought mine at in new York said only 25 were signed with all four boys. 25 signed would still give 25 different people or radio stations a chance to own one. I'm not selling mine. I doubt a radio station would just get tossed one. Perhaps it was a copy your station had. Or maybe someone there did buy one. Jacky Smith (head of Queen's fan club) had approved it as being one of only a handful signed. She didn't know how many exactly.

That is a great piece. Do you have a picture of it posted anywhere? What about the Doors album? I'd love to see both of them.

- hi Josh, whats your personal opinions on authentic I Dream of Jeannie bottle props?
i've seen a 2nd season sold at Butterfields, a 1st season sold at Profiles in History.
and another 2nd season sold on eBay.
i've always wanted one, i know there expensive, but if the person whos selling them,
i would commit/agree to a standard payment each month to pay it off, because its my 'DREAM' to own an original jeannie prop bottle.
p.s. do u know any stores, and/or online stores that sell 'replicas' for a good/inexpensive? i hope u had an awesome July 4th!

- thank you so much. & i have 1 other question...
i met former Vice President Al Gore & his wife about 7 years ago at a booksigning
for their book i believed it was titled 'joined at the heart' ...
i bought a local newspaper ''the Raleigh News & Observer''
& the front page & headline story said:
'Al Gore will not run again for re-election'
he and his wife gladly signed it.
since its an important headline with a picture and its signed by the both of them, would that be a rare item, as suppose to a signature etc. ?
- At 10:14am on May 26, 2010, Jason Boyd said…
- could you help me out with some advice about an autograph?
i obtained it in person, and i know its real (duh) anyways, i'd like to have your thoughts as in demand/rarity for this item...
used in concert & signed drum sticks by Britney's Drummer
signed tour glowstick by her entire band.
i would be honored to have your opinions in regards to these two unique items.
thanks,
-Jason.
