My local card shop has a bid board every week that has Panini and Upper deck signed cards of some really great sport people. Most times you can pick them up for cheap. They guarantee them to be authentic.  I was wondering if you sport collectors feel ok about them? Our local card shop owner has been paid to watch our NBA team sign them.

It was with some trepidation that I went for the “Up Close and Personal with Sharon Stone” stage interview, which was one of the highlights of the recent Singapore Sun Festival.  It was on a Saturday, that was one factor; tickets to the event also cost a whopping $160, that was another factor, (Ok, so I was invited, but still that's a lot of money) but the overriding one was my personal encounter with the aging screen vixen the previous day. 

At her press conference, Stone…

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your comments about my Diana Ross post last week. I realized that what happened wasn't really as much of a reflection on Miss Ross as it was about her organization, from her security, to her PR firm, to her personal assistant. Maybe they just didn't inform her as well as they should have.

But I must say that last night made up for that. Aretha Franklin, who, sadly, is battling a brave fight with pancreatic cancer, was holding a huge…

Christopher Morales and the sellers who use him claim that as a "forensic document examiner," his "scientific methods" and exhaustive procedures have earned him "court-approval." They say this makes him far superior to any other kind of autograph authenticator.

Forensic document handwriting analysis generally requires at least 10-15 known handwriting samples, preferably from the time period of the writing being analyzed. The "scientific" part is primarily ink and paper analysis to try…

Last Wednesday I was directed to an article on Autograph Alert that, beyond saying the usual things they say about this site and me, seemingly "outed" one of our members whose comments they didn't like. At the end of the article, they wrote:

"By the time you read this story,

Cyrkin will have the first of a major rude awakening,

one he has invited and is well deserved."

The next…

This isn't the first time I have written about this subject, nor I am sure it will be the last.  However, someone PLEASE tell me the reason, other than to sell books and tell a story, does any celebrity write a book?  Having just written one myself, I can tell you that it is no easy process and my book is a very simple…

I am just mixed up with this one I would love to add it to my collection and I think that it is a authentic signature but something is holding me back.. Can anybody help relife my fears on this with their take on the signature.Thanks

Hi everyone,

About a week ago, I was given some great news. Not only was I going to receive a complimentary media ticket to the Diana Ross concert tonight, but after the show, I was going to be given 10-15 minutes for an interview with Miss Ross, to be held backstage in her dressing room.

This was to all happen tonight-I had even arrived in the area of the theatre hours…

I recently purchased an entire archive of Secretary of the Treasury under Truman, John W. Snyder. Going through this archive has been enlightening on a number of levels. Illustrated here are some examples that will be valuable to Truman collectors and are published for the first time.

1. March 3, 1939 Authentically signed by Truman as Senator
2. May 2, 1940 proxy signed letter "Harry S. T. by BWT" unquestionably signed for the Senator by his wife and future first lady Bess…

This WILL be another great show.

I will attend to cover it! Check it out if you like Faeries, Pirates, Wizards, Dragons, and much much more in this genre!

I interviewed Lauire Holden…
