I'm a big Doris Day fan. Love her voice and thought she was an underrated actress. Not a big fan of those iconic movies with Rock Hudson and Tony Randall, but I enjoyed a lot of her earlier musicals and her few dramatic roles: Midnight Lace, Julie, Hitchcock's second version of The Man Who Knew To Much and her terrific turn as Ruth Etting in Love Me Or Leave Me. In those few roles she really got to show her dramatic chops.
The point of all this is because I am a big fan (and having…

I'm not talking about inexperienced sellers here. I'm talking about sellers with feedback in the thousands who feel that putting a photo in a semi-rigid envelope barely larger than the photo with just a sleeve or perhaps some semi-rigid cardboard around the sleeve is enough protection for an autographed photo.
I've been buying more online lately, a lot of it to fill holes in my Sopranos collection. And it's been truly disheartening to see what a high percentage of sellers don't use…

Recently while I was browsing on fleabay, I came across a guy who says he was the first Creative Director at Upper Deck from 1989-1992. It seems he squirreled away numerous sets of 1991 and 1992 Upper Deck Heroes Of Baseball Commemorative Sheets that were originally given out as SGAs at baseball games. Upper Deck produced a lot of these individually numbered promotional sheets, mostly as SGAs, throughout the 1990's. But these 1991 and 1992 sheets are hands down the cream of the crop IMO…
ContinueHi guys, I need your opinion authenticating memorabilia. I recently purchased a signed Michael Jackson, Peter Pan sketch. However, some friends believe it may be fake! The signature comes with Drew Max AAU, GFA, and Toby Stoffa COAs. I’ve recently learned that they have had integrity problems in the past. MJ typically has 4 signature styles. Can you give me your opinion?
thanks!…

I recently came across an old article that has me thinking. I'm sure many of you have read this previously. It seems the takeaway from the article is third party authenticators' opinions must remain simply that--opinions. This has me thinking. If you do your homework on an autograph and buy it because you love it, why bother with authentication?…

Below is a forged Derek Jeter "1995 Signature Rookies S.R. Tetrad" card that I just discovered on Ebay.
This is a common Derek Jeter forgery-style that I have observed hundreds of times in GAI Slabs, etc.
But what really surprised me is that it is slabbed and authenticated by Sports Collectors Digest. I never knew that SCD authenticated…

As a long time Jimmy Stewart collector, I have dozens of authentic autographs in my collection. From checks to photos to a baseball, I treasure them all.
However, one key piece has eluded me - that is a signed photo from It's a Wonderful Life.
Jimmy Stewart was a generous signer and there is a good supply of authentically signed Stewart items readily available. As of now, there are approximately 420 James Stewart signed items on eBay from almost every movie he…

I've been posting Ebay forgeries for almost two decades now, and I am still shocked when I see garbage like the below forged Derek Jeter baseball card with bids.
I've written this hundreds of times and I'll write it again; Ebay does not filter out forgeries.
It is actually easier to sell forgeries on Ebay than it is authentic autographs, and that's because Ebay is…

I just discovered the below forged items with a COA from DPI Sports Memorabilia.
The below forged items are as laughable as it gets.
There are no words to describe just how horrid-looking the below forgeries are.
The seller's Buy It Now dollar amount is even more laughable for garbage like this.…
