"Hi Marcello,
I moved this to our Is This Autograph Real? forum since it needs authenticating. If the autographs are real, and there's a good chance, I think it would sell for $2,500+. Perhaps a lot more unless a number of them were…"

"Hi Edward,
I read this after my post a couple minutes ago. Greig is right about the print definitely being wrong if it's from a JPG but the entire image you posted is a degraded JPG so we can't tell until you post a sharp undegraded image…"
"Edward,
The ink looks red/pink in the photo. That's what Kato meant. What about taking it out of the plastic and taking photos so we can see it accurately? Also, it's saved as a low-quality JPG, so it looks mushy. We can't see the…"
"Ed, I appreciate your attitude considering authenticity has been questioned. Let's see what Greig says, and if you want, sent pics to Beckett for a $10 review.

"This is Fujifilm Crystal Archives paper. There are many versions of it but we need to find out if the first one came out before or after Bruce Lee died. I looked for 5 minutes and couldn't find out when. I found later versions introduced in the…"

I moved your post to Bruce Lee autographs."
"Etienne, David—No politics here please. Autograph Live is about autographs and memorabilia. "

"I wouldn't buy a Kobe that wasn't authenticated by PSA, BAS, JSA or from a recognized private signing (UD or Panini) without getting a Beckett Signature Review or PSA Quick Opinion. I'd go Beckett because the lead authenticator, Steve…"
"Tania,
When a seller posts a photo like that, which is saved so low-quality image that you can't see the details, the likelihood that they're trying to hide something is high. They's scams the vast majority of the time. Even if they…"
"Ask them to take fresh photos for you. "
"Was the small, degraded photo you posted your image?"

No autograph is more popular than Mickey Mantle's. And no autograph is forged more.
Many Mantle forgeries are easy to identify, once you know what to look for. Telling a skilled forgery from a genuine Mantle takes a lot…
Guitar Signed by The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Other Artists in the TCM-Bonhams March 27 Auction
Posted on March 8, 2017 at 8:00am 24 Comments 1 Like
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."…

Who are your favorite autograph dealers? Ones that never sell an autograph they're not sure is genuine, and give customers their money back the rare times they make a mistake?
I need to know.

ContinueRR Auction Lawsuit: No Evidence of Shill Bidding
Posted on September 6, 2016 at 11:30am 11 Comments 3 Likes
The judge rejected Michael Johnson's fourth attempt to add shill bidding allegations to his RR Auction lawsuit a few weeks ago. With his attempt to make it a class action lawsuit failing in March 2015 and his attempt to add shill bidding and another claim failing on August 12, Johnson's case heads to trial in January, apparently on his original claims only.…

Can I Post A Wanted Autograph On The Main Page?? I Am Looking For A MORRIS ANKRUM Autograph I Thought Posting A Ad Maybe Someone Has One To Sell
Thanks Lenny
Hi Steve. I was scammed by Brian Burkell who now goes by Ken Burns. My credit card company is investigating the fraud claim I instituted against him and his bogus guitar he said was a signed Washburn by Chicago. Not a Washburn and fake signatures! Terry Kath has been dead since 1978! I feel so stupid because I usually get everything I buy on the Internet but I didn't with him. I think he should be prosecuted for mail fraud but I don't want to sue him if he has no assets. So bummed about this. Thx.
PS I'm not sure how I might receive a reply. Will there be a message in my email or do I have to keep checking this site?
Jim.
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

Hi again Steve in LA, it's James in Canada. Wanted to say thank you for your time on my Lennon/Harrison autograph. Hi Ballroom Days in LA it's James in Canada. 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! BEING DOUBLE AUTHENTICATED (May 2019 and with fresh eyes again in July 2020) by the Professiional Expert Roger Epperson REAL is all the AUTHENTICity you need! Best, JAMES
