Many years ago, a friend was visiting my home.  They asked a question that is understandable, and certainly not unusual, for any person who does not collect autographs.  “Is that real?”  My friend was referring to my framed Alfred Hitchcock autograph.  It was proudly displayed on my wall.

My framed, and proudly displayed, Alfred Hitchcock…

As an adult, I relax at home with my wife, and watch The Twilight Zone marathon on SYFY.  I barely make it to midnight.

This year has been one like no other.  Our country has suffered tremendously.  Our hobby has also been affected.  Many major conventions have been…

Only the so-called hologram.

The below forged Mariano Rivera baseball is not a Steiner Sports product.

It's simply a laughable forgery penned by a amateur forger.…

Hello everyone, I got a chance to buy this John Lennon autograph. There is no COA or anything, I was wondering if it is legit. Does it look real or fake to you?

the vip has agreed to sign the material in order to support nonprofit 

organization  History Life's online charity auctions aimed at raising funds

disadvantaged children. 

ALL the items sold on SignedForCharity.org have the same…

It's been awhile since I've written a blog.  As we all know, 2020 has been horrible on many fronts but I will keep this to getting autographs.  It may be a few more months before we will see in-person autographs again.

For me, the last in-person autograph I got was Nick Beggs from Kajagoogoo (current bassist for Howard Jones) and Howard Jones.  Both of those were in March.  I also got Ian Hill from Iron Maiden and a few guys from Orleans, Pure Prairie League and FireFall (they played…
