I was watching a documentary about Jimi last night and was amazed to see him signing autographs with his right hand. I have studied his autograph for years and actually own a set of Experience…Continue

This lot just sold for £36,000 plus 30%+ commission. Although the provenance is fantastic neither the program nor bag are in great condition. I ask myself, is the lot really worth getting on for…Continue

"If you buy from the top dealers in the US (Frank Caiazzo) or UK (Tracks) you can be more or less sure that the item is real. I guess both these dealers must have been fooled by clever forgers at some time in their ca. 35 year histories but if you…"
"Went for £4,000 before ca. 30-36% premiums etc. Quite a price considering that these are signed on separate pages and John and Paul are on either side of the same page."
"That's what you call a rushed/uneven surface "John". Personally, I like such things, but I know "the market" generally wants what is typical. "
"Yep. Christmas cards are another big offender."
"You’re very welcome. Glad to be of help in preventing a potentially costly mistake.

Obviously, 1980 was done years ago, and the technology…"

"Well at least that means he is almost certainly OK health-wise. - that's the main thing."
"When exactly did Eric last post something? Not that long ago I'm sure. I can go quiet for weeks on end and then suddenly create or contribute to multiple threads within the space of a day or two. Perhaps Eric is just busy or doesn't feel…"
"I think these three examples are far too similar for comfort.
The collection I bought earlier this year is evidence enough that Freddie was willing to sign multiple autographs to the same person during the same evening but none of the autographs in…"
"I wouldn't say that most of the OP example looks particularly rushed, at least not compared to the example I posted. Just the surname perhaps. If I were you I would ask the seller to delay shipping and think about the purchase carefully. You…"
"The plot thickens...."
"Thanks Steve. Great to see that I have a canine companion by the way. Looks like he or she could eat me for breakfast."
