As a lifetime collector starting at age seven, my passion for the past two decades has been collecting autographed golf balls from best-loved golfers, famous Hollywood entertainers, notable sports stars, and U.S. presidents. I claim to have one of the largest and most diversified collections of autographed golf balls in America with over 300 inscribed balls in my bag.

Luckily, I've had a pretty easy time in getting celebrities from all walks of life to sign golf balls, but I have run…

Beatles history was made on May 21. On that day, Case Antiques, a regional art and antiques auction house in Knoxville, Tenn., sold a previously unknown "Meet the Beatles" album, signed by the Fab Four.

It wasn't the price that made history. At $63,250 including the buyer's premium, the price was good, considering it was the only music piece offered in an antique and art auction, but not a particularly strong. The Hard Rock auctioned a similar one around a decade ago for about…

Hey all.  This is my first major submission to an authentication company called "MEARS" and would like to know if anyone has had experience with them.  Also, a general question, if an item fails a company's evaluation, are you entitled for a refund or  are you stuck with it?  I ask this because one of the items I am interested in selling costs $200 for an evaluation and a loss of $200 if it is deemed not authentic would be a huge blow.  Thanks in advance for your time. -Mike

Tonight at New York's historic Beacon Theatre, a special benefit concert was held in honor of peace activist Wavy Gravy's 75th birthday. An eclectic mix of rock, folk, and blues icons performed in celebration. Naturally, this show presented many opportunities to obtain autographs from the performers.

I arrived at the Beacon around 1:30, right as some of the performers were conducting their sound checks. One of the first notable figures I saw was the birthday celebrant himself. Wavy…

Just this morning I noticed an outfit called Power Collectibles is offering MLB authenticated Cal Ripken baseballs for half price.....$139 each.

Although I have little interest in modern sports autographs, I find this offering interesting, especially when a quantity is offered and guaranteed.

Here is the lonk:

Hi all,

have an enquiry regarding two GENESIS books Songs of George Harrison Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 and hope that in this blog are some experts which have similar books and more experiences.

It's wellknown that both books are limited to 2,500 items with arab numerals but....

Vol. 1 has the low number VII in roman numerals and behind the numbered and signed page is another page reading that there are only 250 items extra for review purposes.

Is it possible or does…

I was just pulling thru some information on one of the blogs and came across this.

Felt it should be deserving of it's own blog.  Any Updates?

I just wanted to post these here to see what Fudd the Lowly Mantle Collector can do to help stop the flood of forgeries into the market place. The goal is that we can all start educating ourselves before we buy. To see what a beautiful signature the Mick had, and to learn to distinguish it from the obvious forgeries at first glance. Something TTA, STAT, DREW MAX, GAI GLOBAL (Baker certs) My Favorite Players Reborn (Tony…

We talk so much on these forums about all the fake autographs that are currently in circulation (as we should). However, please know that this is another RECORD YEAR for conventions, book signings, and so many in person personal appearances all in the name of real autographs that are indeed alive, well and thriving.

Through our friendship and professional association over these many years, I owe the success of my Beatles autograph business to Frank Caiazzo. His passion, integrity, loyalty and fortitude has had a most positive and gratifying influence on me. There is no one better in his field. There is no better friend. Congratulatons Frank ... on your new association with R&R Auctions !

Greetings!

My second blog post and to think I never thought I'd write even one, but I did and really enjoyed it too. 

I stated in my first blog that I was just getting back into collecting autographs after about 8 years.  During my first round of collecting, which lasted about 2 years, I focused on obtaining autographs for my wife who was turning the big…

I interviewed Delores Fuller many years ago at the Chiller Convention, and she was wonderful.

She signed quite a few items for me that day as well, and she loved attending conventions , meeting and autographing for fans.

Delores has just passed at age 88 this week ,May 2011.

Here is an obit.
