Why do you want to join Autograph Live?

I discovered a friend is a memorabilia forger in a very big way. I have spent the past three years investigating his activities, Online auctions etc.He is prolific but the police won't investigate without proof or a victim. I have lots of his items catalogued. He something of a public figure in a certain interest group but is telling them all these very elaborate stories about his relationships with rock stars especially John Lennon and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I am basically looking for someone who can identify the signatures as forgeries. I do not wish to drag anyone into the public eye, I just need a bit of help. You were recommended to me because you are thorough, as am I. I have compiled documents which are eady to read and if I am granted membership I will submit the signatures and documents. I dont know how much space I have here so I will leave it at that but can explain fully in a post. Thank you.

Why do you collect?

I am an investigator. I need advice/knowledge. I included a tiny sample of the various pieces in a collage. This is literally nothing though. Hes made around £80,000 this past few years, maybe more. He has been doing tbis since the 1980s so its probably hundreds of thousands of English Pounds he has stolen from people. He's also an American living in the U.K. and I believe he was arrested in Operation Bullpen and became the CIA informant and moved to the UK in 1999 where he has continued his activities.

What is your favorite autograph in your collection?

I know this is an unusual situation. I believe they are all forged.

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

Everyone I have mentioned to check for authenticity!
