"Yeah same for me. Brandon Lee also died within a week of Kurt which was a depressing time. Music and television both lost 2 young talents that would have impacted the industry for decades forward."

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."…

Hi Steve
I am new at this and posted a picture of my guitar...BB King..
Wanted to edit and add a comment and can't figure out how to.
Steve,
Its Matty Michanowicz. Thank you for all of your professional responses to my questions regarding the Jim Morrison signed photograph. I am infact going to sell it utilizing your auction site. Allowing your company to profit from the expert answers to my questions is the least I can do. This little profit will allow you to continue to provide others the services that were extended to me. A few questonis before I begin to send out the photo.
1. Where shoul I send it out for authication that is recognizable by collectors? PSA is my best guess
2. Any names for the person that reviews rock autographs that is respected in the community?
3. As you suggested "upgrade" my Paypall info.
4. I plan to list this item around February 15. I will read how your site recommends how to list. There is currently an autograph of Jim Morrison being sold. I will keep my auction open after that one closes inorder to capture any potential bidders that missed out on the first auction.
5. Any additional input from you or your team is much appreciated.
Sincerly,
Matty Michanowicz

PS Feel free to pick up the phone to call me for any questions. I travel to california about 6 times a year. If you want to see this inperson, we may be able to arrange tthis. (if you are personally sitill interested in making the purchase)
Thanks Steve! Best, Frank
