I wanted to provide a flip to the discussion asking people for the worse in person experience. This doesn't necessarily have to be in person, as I just had a wonderful example of an artist being extra kind to one of their fans. 

Not many people are aware of the group The Swell Season (however they have a cult type following), in fact they aren't even together anymore. They are Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, if you have heard of the movie Once then you have seen…

Below you will find examples of no-brainer examples of Roger Maris forgeries that list and sell on Ebay.

Roger Maris passed away on December 14, 1985.

If you want an authentic Roger Maris autograph on anything it will cost you big bucks to own one.  

Here are examples of Roger Maris forgeries that you want to stay away from.…

Living Colour made a stop in Cleveland right before New Years Eve.  What a show!

I first saw the band open up for the Rolling Stones in '89.  Well I actually only saw one song as I had to wait on my brother to get to old Cleveland Stadium.  I was pretty upset that I missed their show, but I did get to hear "Cult of Personality."  

The next time a saw…

I have been having computer problems, and found this old blog that didn't post. So, here it is. Perfect timing, with reports coming out that Johnny Depp is the most overpaid actor (his last few movies making a lot less than he is paid).…

Hello. I’ve been meaning to post here for a long time now, but I am just now getting to it. (Sorry for the delay, Steve).…

Hey, guys. Wondering if anyone has an info or experience with OnlineAuthentics.com? Looking to buy an item with their PHYSICAL COA, and wanted to make sure they are legit. When I look up the COA number, it says "Origin of item: Greg Tucker autographs". Let me know. Thanks.

I enjoy sharing my experiences with this blog.  Hopefully, if these artists come to your town you will have the same success as me or in some cases, better success!  I managed to attend a few more concerts to end the year and ended up getting 4 out of 5.

First of all, Carl Palmer from ELP and Asia played a solo gig in Akron.  After the show, he headed straight to the merch table to sign and meet fans.  He had a variety of merch available including posters, drum heads, drum sticks and…

I'd like people who join this little blog to discuss the amazing hippy musicians who convened on a little town called Laurel Canyon, in West Los Angeles, to play their music together. Let's use our words, pictures and autographs to better describe the music, the scene, the decadence, the alliances and the fallouts of the greatest gathering of talented musicians ever to assemble in one place during such a short period of time. 

The music movement in Laurel Canyon was also a reaction to…

Someone asked me about the most important info for the more advanced autograph collector that has decided to expand their collection to include Star Wars. There is so much to know that I feel that this post may ramble a bit as I put things in as they come to mind. Many of the items I will mention are helpful facts for any type of collector.…

We all know about the thousands of forgeries of Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Ted Williams, etc. "authenticated" by Stephen Rocchi and his Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA) group.

I already posted a thread similar to this one, but decided to post another one.

Let's once again break down some of the statements made by Ebay seller Gofsu2010 in his auction descriptions in…

Collecting Star Wars autographs is possibly the best hobby in this world or any other. But the hobby, just like the films, has a dark side. Forgeries, secretarial signatures, dealers without the proper knowledge and mistakes by authentication companies can give even the best collectors heartaches and nightmares.



With all the hype surrounding the release Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, and the promise of the remainder of the new trilogy and stand-alone films…

I'm friends with a guy that used to be Jay Leno's mechanic. We all know Leno has an insane car collection, and so does this mechanic. One of his cars is a silver and black Jaguar that Cary Grant owned.

When I went to a party at director James Cameron's place in Malibu -- I had autographs on the mind. Not only did I bring a few DVDs for him to sign (I waited until we had…

Good day everybody,

I have been a long time collector of autographs. Mostly Disney hero's and old Hockey (I am from Canada). I bought a couple of books by John Lennon and about John yesterday at a thrift shop sale. The two that I wanted where "In his own Write" and "Spaniard in the Works". The others were trade paperbacks on his life. I opened Spaniard and was surprised to see the following autograph. With the assumption that everything is wrong till proven otherwise I would…
