Okay, it’s the baseball all-star game, so how about a few more stories on baseball memorabilia?
Greg Spahn, the only child of the winningest left-hander in baseball history, has more than 800 items he’s going to auction at Hunt Auctions. He’s going to split everything he gets with his kids, which is probably making them happy. He’s got five, and I’m guessing they’d be…

I sometimes write about baseball cards, because I’ve found that lots of autograph collectors also collect sports memorabilia. I’ve talked before about how hardcore card collectors HATE when people get them autographed. They feel any ink on the card is merely ruining it. I’ve always felt that – sure, if it’s a…

Have you ever held in your very own hands, a Jeannie bottle? Yes, a Jeannie bottle from the TV show I Dream of Jeannie. Well it is a fun thing to do. You find yourself opening the top, and even rubbing the sides to see if Jeannie is going to rise out in a puff of smoke.
However, if she does not…

Check out these horrific Mickey Mantle & Joe DiMaggio forgeries.
These putrid Mickey Mantle & Joe DiMaggio forgeries are listed by Ebay seller Joe88prints.
These are typical forgeries found on Ebay that are usually purchased by the seller at local auctions, estate sales, charity events, etc. These are people who know ZERO about autographs. They buy this crap…

What do you get the father that has everything? Well, a unique, autographed item. Kim Kardashian had that idea, when she made the purchase for Kanye West recently. He’s a new father so, Father’s Day was the occasional. I’m guessing you can’t realistically buy a shirt or mug that says “World’s Best Dad” for a guy that names his kid “North West,” so she went with a cool autographed item.
The rapper was so thrilled by the gift she gave him, he tweeted about it. It’s a pair of computer…

Rumor has it that Larry Studebaker got fired from JSA for authenticating a bunch of fake autographs for someone in California and is now working for ACE (Justin Priddy).. Anyone know if there is any truth to this? I do know he is not with JSA any longer but not sure where he went and why he's no longer with JSA.. This is very interesting if it turns out to be true..

(Stay away from Halle you paparazzi or I unload on every one of you!!!)
Two things happened in the news the last two days, that can affect all of the autograph collectors. Let’s examine these things, shall we?
Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry went to the Capitol on Tuedsay, testifying in favor of a bill aimed at restricting paparazzi from taking…

I purchased a SRV signed 1989 Fender Stratocaster guitar from Antiquities. When I received it, it came with no COAs. I contacted Antiquities and a requested the Forensic Documents that they told me all of items have. They sent me the documents and behold no forensics, just a COA and a letter of provenance dated after the date I purchased the guitar. mmmmm. I…

I was going through old boxes of stuff and I found this, it's a laminated piece of paper with what appears to be an autograph. It was with my brothers stuff and he used to really like baseball. I can't figure out who it is, or if it is even a baseball player. Anyone have any ideas?…

Late night talk shows are the perfect place to hear autograph stories. You see, the talk show hosts and the stars, get sick of just coming on and promoting their latest movie and telling the same stories about what it was like to work with Meryl Streep.
Last night on The Tonight Show (which I watched only because Letterman and Kimmel were repeats), comedian and…

Jimmy Kimmel is the best late night host working today. His monologues are great, his interview style, and sense of humor.
Last year during the NBA Finals, he had shows that aired immediately after the games. One of the things he did was using an NBA star (I’m almost positive it was Shaq), to prank fans that were lined up for a fake autograph session Kimmel had…

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…

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.
