It was kind of a June swoon when talking about in-person autographs for me.  I had some success but it did not start out well.

The month began with my friend calling me at the last minute saying another photographer friend had an extra ticket to Peter Wolf’s show.  So I jumped in my car and headed to Cleveland to see Mr. Woofa Goofa put on an amazing show.  He actually signed a copy of “Lights Out” for a fan from the stage.  After the show, about 10 people were hanging out trying to…

It seems like only yesterday I did a story about the shooting of a singer on The Voice at a meet-and-greet, autograph signing after the show. Now, a few other crimes to report.

In Boynton Beach, Florida, police raided a burglar’s house. One of…

A Sgt Peppers album signed by all four Beatles is being auctioned by Bonhams in Knightsbridge, London on June 29. I haven't seen any news coverage on it, so I wanted to get the word out.…

Jenny kee (Dragon lady) as John lennon called her is an Asian, Australian. In 1964 she was pursuing her love of fashion design and is famously known for a Koala sweeter design, but also in 1964 she saw the Beatles in Sydney play in concert. After the show Jenny and her girlfriends managed to get in to the Sheraton hotel and rendezvous with the Beatles, watch youtube video.

As a kid, I’ll never forget the first time I saw the photo of Mark David Chapman, the guy who killed John Lennon. It was a photo that showed him getting Lennon’s autograph on the “Double Fantasy” album.

I thought about that when I heard about this crazy story. Singer…

What's Going On In The Deep Waters of The Vast Autograph Ocean



In a weekly post I will try to go over some things observed in the industry. Feel free to comment, agree or disagree. Some points may have been discussed prior as this will be weekly touching only the main issues in the autograph universe.

For the week of June 3- June 10th…

As a movie critic, people often ask me what my favorite films are. You can never pick your favorite one, but I have a bunch that are always on the list. I’ll say that I can’t decide between Tootsie, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Star Wars, Dr. Strangelove, Casablanca, Pulp…

As we've noticed during the last 48 hours, both Ebay and the Ebay sellers of Muhammad Ali forgeries are making a killing on Ebay.

The victims (who don't know yet that they are victims) are getting scammed to no end.

It's both sad and disgusting.

First, immediately below, link to my first four threads on GFA-certed (Stephen Rocchi) Muhammad Ali…

As a movie critic, I feel it's my duty to alert you readers when there's a clever autograph scene in a movie. And I saw what might go down as the funniest you'll ever see. In the new comedy by Adam Samberg -- Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping -- he plays a pop star that's a bit down on his luck. (you can read my review here:…

Adding to the music collection has gone pretty well for the past 6 weeks or so.  

In mid-April I got to shoot one of my favorite bands, The Darkness.  I actually got to do an email interview with Frankie, the bass player.  The last thing in my list of questions was the remark:  Feel free to add anything else.  To which he responded:  A Bottle of Grey Goose Vodka, please.

Well, I figured I would call his bluff and when I shared my interview with his publicist, I told her I would…

You hate when the news is turned on, or you open the newspaper, and it’s filled with bad news. You sometimes think of the cliche “If it bleeds, it leads.” But there was a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune the other day that warmed my heart. I was even more thrilled when I saw the byline. It was…

I’ve never liked the idea of buying hair. Wait...I should probably explain that. I’m not talking about the way Elton John bought hair for $28,000 and had it surgically attached to his head. I’d certainly consider that, if I didn’t end up looking like Donald Trump…

is called tha autograph source, is not affiliated with any organization, however, has the items authenticated by PSA / DNA, maybe I could buy only those who have the certification, you say?

I’ve long told the fellow autograph collectors, that the worst thing for the hobby is the fact that everyone has a camera on their phone. Instead of famous people being asked to sign a few autographs when they’re recognized, they now have to stand around taking selfies with everyone, and…

In my search for Kurt Cobain autographs, I have search all over the world to find it. Lately there have been a few Kurt Cobain signed CDs with cool inscription that are being offer from UK by 2 different sellers on the bay.

 Here are the pictures of the 2 Kurt Cobain’s signed CDs.

Hi all,

I have to sell an autopragh of the great BB King (at the 10th position of the 'most wanted') but I don't know how much I must ask.

I get it on 1985 at Jazz festival in Nice, France.

Someone can help me?

Thanks a lot to all!

I had a few movie related autograph things I was going to mention. The first was about the Harrison Ford Star Wars jacket he autographed and sold for charity. Yet I saw that somebody on this site wrote about that.

So, a few autograph things in recent movies.

In an indie movie called "High-Rise" Tom Hiddleston plays a guy that moves into a high rise that has…
