"I realize I was kind of glib in that last post, so I'll expand.
I don't see the signed book market in any danger of "dying". Not by any means. In fact, it's the defacto method of older authors getting signed works out to the…"

"Going better than ever, so long as you look past the astroturfed/heavily-overinflated sports card autograph sector."
"Mods may want to close this, as the contest has closed. Otherwise, people are going to keep responding ad infinitum."
"Honestly, you should send him a digest message with the links to the various Beatles threads that have come up just within the last two weeks -- most of them have been judged as fake by the members here. "
"Two wildly different things. If you've frequented this board for a while, you'd know that the Beatles in particular had near-systemic levels of games played by their management, where "signatures" by reps would be done in private…"
"In my experience, it's the design that tends to track with the 1/1 designation, not necessarily the signature in and of itself. The challenge comes in when the product gets so devalued that you get 20 1/1's representing "card…"
"100% - the term "1/1" has been devalued so thoroughly by manufacturers like Topps that it's become a joke at this point. That's part of a larger concern I have with the sportscard market being completely overinflated and…"

"Got one, thanks kindly! Think I might try to go for a larger set of his signed stuff."
"My handwriting is much sloppier than it used to be, partially because I don't normally write on notepads (it;su usually in shortform once in a blue moon), and I didn't really write anything for a couple years during the pandemic.

"Because pride is a dangerous thing. Hell, I've come on here multiple times and thought I was 100% right about the authenticity of an item, only to be told by others that it was faked. You have to learn the ropes before you can become any kind…"
"+1 - I've seen enough stories on this forum from people who swore up and down that they could chase the chain of ownership/authenticity (this goes for a number of authors/artists, not just the Beatles), only for it to be revealed as…"
"Brolin finally arrived -- pretty much exactly what I expected in terms of the signature. The memoir's been interesting so far."
"Bang on -- he's always had a very consistent signature. "What's It All About?" was a great read; one of a batch of signed copies I think he did when he was here in Canada many moons ago."
