I went from being a DJ at a classic rock station, to being a writer. One of the first editors I had had to keep reminded me that when I talk about bands, others won’t know the songs or musicians the way I do. So before I start this story on my quest to get all of The Kinks signatures, here’s a list of their songs that you might know: Lola, You Really Got Me, Tired of…

I always like when things pop up that celebrities did when they were young. A lot of Buddy Holly’s homework has popped up over the years. I’ve also seen homework from a few other celebrities, but since Buddy Holly had that geeky look with the thick glasses – and since he was a 50s singer – something seemed more interesting about a piece of school work from him.

And since we’ve all seen lots of drawings, doodles, and paintings from famous folks, there’s something so intriguing about…

A couple of baseball items that were just auctioned off that sound rather interesting. A baseball glove that Jackie Robinson wore in the 1955 and 1956 World Series fetched $373,000 at the Steiner Sports Memorabilia Auction. The same seller also parted with a Louisville Slugger bat which was used in the 1956 season. That went for $114,000. The same buyer purchased both items, but didn’t identify himself. It’s probably safe to say, if burglars break into his place – he won’t be hitting them…

Hi there,

My name is Steve i live in Manchester UK. I'm new to the site and was wandering if there was anyone who could help me identify an autographed baseball mitt i have. If you take a look at the photo i would be really grateful.I've checked golden glove winners for 1999 but had no joy. If anyone can help me out that would be fantastic.

thanks Steve.…

Jean Stapleton, All in the Family star who played as Edith Bunker died today.  She was 90 years old.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jean Stapleton, the stage-trained character actress who played Archie Bunker's far better half, the sweetly naive Edith, in TV's groundbreaking 1970s comedy "All in the Family,"…

Jay Mohr does the best sports on the air. If you’re a sports fan, and you can get him in your city, tune in.

The first time I saw Mohr was on Saturday Night Live. He did great impersonations (Christopher Walken, Joe Pesci, etc); even though in the book Live from New York, he makes it sound like he wasn’t so successful on that show.

He’s always great…

Hello fellow autograph collectors and genre Con goers.

Here is a link to a few, maybe about 90 some interviews I have have done in the long past and more recently.

I will attend quite a few more Conventions/ Autograph shows, this year.

Many people have asked to see some of these interviews and not just read some excerpts from them.

I have literally hundreds and hundreds of these from the past almost 30 years of doing this.

 But at this time , I only have…

Autographgiving.com is a new way to collect autographs and benefit charities at the same time. Using a Autographgiving Collectors Card the card owner gives money to a charity to receive the card. Do you think athletes will be more likely to sign these?

I get sick of seeing eBay sellers post this as being "signed" when in reality it is a reprint. I myself actually got burned on this in the past. 

Here is the "signed" photo to be cautious of: 

As you can see below, this is the exact same "reproduction" as above, yet this seller calls it an "Autograph"…

So I am originally from ElCajon California and recently my dad, who is a NASCAR fan, came to visit. He said the Jimmie Johnson boy me and my sister used to hang out with who raced dirt bikes and had all those HUGE trophies in 8th grade was the same guy who drives for NASCAR. Today I found my junior high year book with his pic and an autograph..Just wondering why the…

Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist of The Doors died the other day. As journalists that thought they were clever wrote, he “broke on through to the other side.”

Since they’ve always been my favorite band, I thought I’d do a story for Autograph relating to all my meetings with the various band members.

I had been a Doors fan from an early age. When I was…

I was reading a newspaper in San Diego and saw the most beautiful picture in the world. No, it wasn’t a sunrise over the beautiful beaches in La Jolla. It wasn’t one of those double rainbows some freak out over. It was the handwritten lyrics to the great Beatles song She Said, She Said from the Revolver album. It included a few lines that didn’t make it into the song, and some words crossed out. All of it in John Lennon’s writing! That song, along with the lyrics to In My…

Here's a typical set of Mickey Mantle/Ted Williams forgeries on Ebay.

This set of Mickey Mantle & Ted Williams forgeries is listed by Ebay seller Yankeehater626.

The worthless COA is from TTA (Ted Taylor).  The TTA COA is on Ebay's Banned COA list.…

I'd love to get some feedback on this.  I purchased this a couple of years ago on EBAY from a seller based in England.  Although he dealt almost exlusively with Iron Maiden items, he also had a few vinyl records that he had picked up several years ago at a Car Boot sale (my understanding is that this is the British version of a flea market).  One of the albums was a British version of Pink Floyd Meddle in near perfect condition.  As he was going through the album to check the condition, he…

So beside the fact that I believe every autograph on their sight is at the very least suspect,

They put this "gem" up for sale:…

The Chiller Theatre Convention is filled with celebrities, musicians, artists, wrestlers, models, zombies, monsters, vampires and so much more. The celebrity guests are all usually, human, mostly. This is a three day event, twice a year, to which I happily attended the Sunday show on April 28, 2013. My friend Anthony and I drove up to NJ to spend a few incredible hours at Chiller from Baltimore. I thank Kevin and Eddie who allow me Press passes to cover the event!

This foray of guests…

The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation along with astronauts representing every era of manned spaceflight will gather on the evening of July 27, 2013 to both commemorate the 40^th anniversary of Skylab’s launch into space and honor the courageous, tireless and innovative men and women who made the Skylab missions, which in many ways laid the…

Josh, I went to the site you listed  Signed, sealed.

I found three Beatles autograph of Paul M. The three are very different in my eyes. All the "P" look like "R". I have seen many of his examples and it seems he signs his last name in full. The guitar is at $9,500. I am no expert but all I see all Red Flags, thanks, Jay

Last week on the late night shows, the big news was that Saturday Night Live’s head writer, Seth Myers, would be taking over Jimmy Fallons slot when he moves over to The Tonight Show next year.

Well, what I enjoyed about the shows last week was all the talk about autographs.

Kimmel was talking about how ridiculous it was that Dennis Rodman sent a tweet asking North Korea’s leader a favor. This, of course, after Rodman went there and was hanging out with…
