I never liked Jesse L. Jackson, Jr., the representative from Illinois. It’s not because of his politics, but his dad. It amazes me that anybody even gives that guy air time. But I digress.

Jesse Jackson, Jr. recently resigned from Congress, claiming to be treated for Bipolar disorder. It now turns out Mr. Jackson may have also had an addiction. It’s an addiction that many of you on this website also suffer from. That, of an autograph and memorabilia collector!

What are the…

Interesting article. Looks like a chunk of this stuff was bought in Las Vegas with campaign funds. I'd be curious to see how many of the things he bought were forgeries.

Maybe if they find out he bought forgeries his dad could protest the businesses that peddled it and strong arm them for ransom.

I saw a story in the newspaper Sunday about a company called egraphs.com. It was about autographs going “digital.”

This company lets fans of NBA or MLB teams get a player to sign a picture electronically and have it sent to your computer (I have no clue if they’ll ever get NFL players).

Now the first thing I thought about was a company that released baseball cards a few years back that were merely a computer chip. You put it into your computer and the card showed up on…

There is a Joe Long"Double Fantasy" on Ebay...seller starts at $20,000...

Another terrible Lennon sketch with a forged signature with a COA from none other than Don Frangipani...it's item # 140915763442...his stuff is supposed to be banned from Ebay...asking $24,000...pathetic...

When you are a hardcore autograph collector and you’ve purchased autographs (come on, we all have), there’s one thing we sometimes do. We look at the price of things we buy in everyday life and think of what autograph item would could get for the same price.

You’re buying a new car for $28,000…okay, perfect. But…the same model that’s two years old, has low miles…is only $18,000. Saving $10,000…I could buy that signed Beatles program I saw on that auction website last week.

I want to write a personal letter to Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier. I've been told that he and his family reside in South Jersey. That's all I know. If anyone out there knows how I can get in touch with Mike, I'd be most appreciative.  Joe Galiardi, author of Hooked on Autographs

Formed with the stated goal of stamping out fake autographs, AFTAL, the Autograph Fair Trade Alliance, attracted many of UK's and Europe's most reputable dealers as members. But while the vast majority of AFTAL dealers lived its stated goal, including a recognized expert used by law enforcement to testify against the forgery industry, AFTAL's two primary founders, Dominic Manning and Marc Mclennan, used it as cover to sell and authenticate thousands of forgeries. Manning has seized control…

There’s always lots of controversy when people buy paintings and autographs from convicts. Yet, we know there’s a big market for them in the collectable world.

Occasionally, we see the Hitler painting pop up at auction for hundreds of thousands of dollars. And Charles Manson is still doing crude drawings and signing lots of autographs through the mail from his prison sell in Northern California.

Well you can add another to the list – Jodi Arias. For those that haven’t seen…

Any one tell me who these autographs are please.

Thanx Martin

Hi all,

First post on the site.  I am considering purchasing a signed Grateful Dead guitar.  The background story of how these were obtained sounds a bit outlandish from the people selling, but I want to see if those who "know" have an opinion on the legitimacy of the signatures.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
