"Kim, I wasn’t clear. This is not an autopen. It’s a forgery, and the forger uses a system that appears to be a computer and something like a plotter. It varies the signatures, sometimes ever so slightly."

Guitar Signed by The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Other Artists in the TCM-Bonhams March 27 Auction

Last I heard, there were no genuine, intact Beatles-signed guitars known. The only one was reportedly destroyed in a Malibu, Calif. landslide about 15 years ago.
RR Auction sold one a Beatles signed guitar around 2010, but the owner had tapped the autographs down with an awl to, um, "preserve them."…

The judge rejected Michael Johnson's fourth attempt to add shill bidding allegations to his RR Auction lawsuit a few weeks ago.

Hi Steve, I'm not a big collector but I have a couple of genuine items I might sell.
A 1967 A.F.B. Festival programme in poor condition signed by Brownie McGee and the bassist Dillard Crume.
A 1968 Programme in good condition with all the signatures: Walter Horton, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Reed, Big Joe Williams, Curtis Jones, Eddie Taylor, Jerome Arnold and J.C. Lewis.
I know they're genuine because I collected them myself.
I would like to find out what they're worth before deciding whether to sell them.
Can you give me any advice either on the value or how to find out?
Hello Steve,
Just stopped by to see how you are!
Take care my friend!
Bob Oliver

Wanted to say thank you for your time on my Lennon/Harrison autograph... like Roger Epperson himself told me, you've really got to be holding these REAL authenticated autographs in your hands to appreciate how wonderful they indeed are...the scan doesn't do them justice!

Hello Steve,
May I have your opinion on this Kobe signed Molten Golden Trophy basketball? It was signed by Kobe at the Foot Locker store in Athens when he visited Athens years ago.
Much appreciated
