Sebastian Vettel:

Sebastian is as kind to the fans as before his two world titles. He is trying to fulfill nearly every autograph wish. Sometimes he is a bit stressed but most of the time he is friendly and polite. Great!

Dear Garrett. Authentic autographed Lincoln photographs are exceptional rare and in the past years only a few fine examples appeared on the marketplace. You should maybe ask Andreas Wiemer if he has a record of the first known Lincoln photographs as he has a excellent knowledge in this field. kind regards Markus

Is there any record of who the FIRST person was to autograph a photo of him/herself for an admirer or fan? I know there are autographed photos Lincoln. But does anyone pre-date Lincoln signing photos of him/herself?

Markus,

Thanks for the heads up!! No offense or mis-understanding is taken at all! I am very much aware of the situation regarding ebay Germany and your site. I helped on many occasions to try to give you ammunition regarding the rules and laws that your were facing in Germany.

It is VERY smart for you to pull your core team together, just as Steve is doing here in the USA. We all remain under the same umbrella of fighting forgeries in the market. I'm sure that you will continue to have great success and you know I will ALWAYS be on hand to offer any support that isitreal.com needs.

We made a LOT of progress over the last few years with ebay and the fight against forgeries. However, the fighting is only begining. I have no doubt that we will work together again.

All the best my friend!!
