Aerosmith and Ronald Reagan -- The two best autograph stories I've heard in weeks!

In Las Vegas I read in a local paper, about an Aerosmith concert. A guy with a fake leg (sorry, I can't spell that other word), was holding it up in the crowd (next to all the folks that hold their lighters when a classic ballad like Dream On is played). The drummer (I believe his name is Joey Kramer...I met him once in L.A. and he's a short dude, not very friendly...but he signed my CD). He asked for…

Just recently on Ebay, one seller ($1gem) listed four Walter Johnson signed postcards. 

Ebay seller $1gem listed four Walter Johnson signed postcards.  One already sold for $487.00.  The other three are presently (May 21, 2012) listed on Ebay.

Below are photographs of all four Walter Johnson signed postcards.  All four were authenticated by Drew Max, who calls himself a Forensic Document Examiner (FDE).  I also found it interesting that all…

how much does a personal inscription  devalue an autograph? I just read that it devalues an autograph if it has a personalinscription on it - (ie. to Jane...Mick Jagger) - Does it devalue an autograph significantly or is it just a minimal amount ? Wondering here in relation to an investment value standpoint. ty - all replies appreciated !

 I am tired of reading about crooked auctioneers and how they prey on the sports hobby. I understand collector's frustrations. Auctioneers do need to take responsibility for what they sell period end of story. I appreciate all of the folks who take their time out to alert the unsuspecting buyers of these forgeries. My concern is I continue to see posts and discussions about local auction houses that mean well. I am sorry, but if you have a room full of autographs and you did not wonder about…

they are holding an auction tomorrow (Sunday 5/13/2012) on LIVEAUCTIONEERS.COM.

A number of items are Babe Ruth signed balls, Lou Gehrig signed ball box, Ty Cobb signed ball box and a 1927 Yankee team signed bat (Ruth, Gehrig et al). There are COAs on a couple of the items from ahhhhhh ACE but none on the bat.

I emailed them asking if there was any paperwork on the bat and they said no - so, I asked what happens if it fails PSA/DNA or JSA. Their terse reply was no refunds of…

As many of us know, Ebay has done a decent job removing forgeries from their auction site over the past twelve months, but during that time the forgers and sellers of forgeries have found other outlets to sell their forgeries of Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Whitey Ford, etc.

Over the past year or so, these forgeries have made their way into local auctions and these local auctions are springing up all over the country.

Numerous sellers of forgeries sometimes use an…

How do I get a subscription to Autograph magazine?

It might of been the only ever, public autograph chance to get Davy Jones and Maureen McCormick at the same time, in the 40 years since this iconic photo and scene was filmed:
