"Thanks for the link. Classy video befitting a high-price gallery.
As a photography collector, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of many of the images and the printing methods used. At that sort of price range you'd obviously expect the…"

Muhammad Ali signed card - thoughts?
Started this discussion. Last reply by a pug called eva Feb 16. 11 Replies 1 Like
A year or two ago I bought a postcard of Shanghai bearing Ali's autograph. The seller was from Switzerland. The card was apparently signed by Ali when he travelled to China in 1985. I find Ali's…Continue

Good-looking Hendrix with odd backstory
Started this discussion. Last reply by a pug called eva Feb 17. 17 Replies 0 Likes
This is an interesting Hendrix that is now up for auction with a £4,000 - £6,000 estimate. Rather a wild "Hendrix" but looks real to me - and apparently to REAL too. The backstory sounds a bit…Continue

"A snip. I'll take two while I'm here...."
"There is absolutely no way I would want the fully abbreviated Paul signature. I guess the low edition numbers of the photographs makes them desirable but the signature is garbage - looks more like "RM a" or "R McCann""
"I totally agree that it looks good."
"Hi Ballroom, I assume you mean the George is OK. I would never have suspected otherwise but the malfunctioning pen makes it far less desirable in my opinion, especially as it looks as if the ink could have been rubbed off the glossy surface before…"
"I'm not sure what qualifies someone to be in the mainstream of autograph collecting. I used to buy very regularly but for the last ten years or so I've not bought many things at all. The main thing is to observe what is going on at…"
"I agree re the price (£5,250), especially given the state of the card and the fact that it is trimmed."
"Whether real or not this "lot" leaves me totally cold. I would think you could get more selling the albums off individually over a number of years. "
"Any news on this? Did you manage to buy it Tiziano?"
"Are you sure that this is an unpublished candid shot? It doesn't look all that candid to me. As JK says, I'm not sure that the autograph is really faded but its is hard to tell without seeing it in person. "
"I think you known the answer to that question already, unless there are some "sleepers" amongst the notables."
"Thanks Innuendo. I understand where you are coming from as regards helping forgers. I was really asking what makes a Freddie visually unappealing to you rather than what makes it genuine. To me, the ANATO in the OP above is more visually appealing…"
"I've been itching to ask this question for years but now I finally will. You quite often refer to Freddie autographs as "genuine bur ugly" but I can't always see what you mean by "ugly". This is certainly the case here…"
"Unbelievably lazy forger!"
"I've not done any checking back but my gut feel is that the signature stands every chance of being OK. The only problem is that the contrast is absolutely lousy. I have a similar problem with a Monroe (MM that is) of mine. Lovely. top quality…"
"Thanks Innuendo. I think I prefer the ones you posted. There is at least some personalization."
