On September 9, 2011 the Pawn Stars reality show aired a segment in which they were offered a Bram Stoker signed "Dracula" book. 

Corey (the same guy that purchased that ridiculously-funny Lou Gehrig signed jersey) was excited about purchasing the "Dracula" book signed by the author himself, Bram Stoker.

So Corey calls in "his buddy" Drew Max, Forensic Document Examiner, to examine the Bram Stoker signature.  Mr. Max pulls out his Hubble-sized magnifying glass and begins to…

Hi Everyone!

While going through stuff to sell for a garage sale, I came across a couple of autographed photos I had forgotten about. Anyone know where I can sell these? I know they are authentic, they are made out to family members. One is a Willie Mosconi made out to my dad & the other is a Billy Martin made out to my cousin. Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Old book autographed by Bela Lugosi. I Have an autograph collection that has been in my family for generations, I'm looking for advice about one item that I would like to have valued. I spoke to Tom Kramer about the autographs but he was not sure about the book, Crowned Masterpieces of Modern fiction, Dracula, Doubleday Page & Company 1903, Signed by Bela Lugosi on Page one above the title Dracula. The book it self has some value, on the web for 1000.00 and the autograph also has a value…

Hello,

As a child in Sarasota, Florida, I lived next door to Bud Sagendorf, who drew Popeye for the last 50 years.  In 1994, shortly before his death, he gave an original comic strip drawing used in the Sunday paper to each member of my family.  These drawings are roughly 15" tall by 18" wide and are mounted on heavy white cardboard.   They are the actual art submitted to the newspapers to print.  Here is a copy of the one that I have in my possession. …

"1775 Almanac"

I'm the expert who answers the question: Who used this almanac as a diary as the first shots were fired in the American…

While flying in the USCG I was naturally involved with many rescue flights. I have several 'Winged S' rescue awards with the original wet signature of Igor Sikorsky. I'm retired and moving out of country and would like to sell some of these.

Can anyone give me an idea on the value???? Can anyone give me some idea of who might be interested in buying them or taking these on consignment to sell? It's just time to start parting with these rare documents and let others enjoy…

Most of you might only know Bobcat from being that crazy '80s comedian that would scream and make weird sounds. Even back then, I thought he was hysterical. His material was always strong.

It was nice to see him get parts in movies (remember him trying to kill Bill Murray in Scrooged?) Oh, and speaking of "remembering him" in various parts, he said in his stand-up the other night when I saw him, that he loves signing autographs and is flattered anybody wants his autograph,…

Im have been offred this signed lobbycard by all four members of the band.

Is this a genuine piece?

My guts says that something is wrong.…

The story is set during the late 30s "Golden Age of Hollywood" and full of familiar names and places.

Publishers Weekly gave RHUMBA a starred review, Thrilling Detective called it superb, Joseph Wambaugh said it's a "nostalgic, wisecracking,…

I was falling asleep on the couch, with CNN on.

They did a story, and the details I can remember before passing out:

Guitarist Richie Sambora did a concert for Marines at Camp Pendleton near San Diego. He also gave away 10 autographed guitars.

They were accoustic guitars that you can fold up and put in your napsack.

I'm a big rock 'n roll autograph collector, but Bon Jovi is a band I've never liked. I've heard they're all good…
