The International Comic-Con is less than two weeks away, and it's so overwhelming these days that you really have to plan your strategy ahead of time for autograph signings. Hopefully the information posted here should help you out.

Located upstairs in the Sails Pavilion, the Autograph Area is the place to go for a special memento from a variety of artists, authors, and actors from every era of popular culture. Some are signing right after their spotlight panel, so check the…

I'm going to sell my Dolly Parton albums.

Anybody want to buy them?

I see a lot of questions around the internet and collector's chat regarding Harrison Ford autographs.  Quite honestly, Harrison is a very good signer and is out in the public quite a bit ( unlike some stars that only appear during a movie promotion ) in California and NY.

Harrison is one of the top names in the last 30 years of entertainment and is by far one of the most desirable autographs for any collection. 

Since I have been regarded as one of the world's…

In chapter 14 of my book, Hooked on Autographs, I offer 10 suggestions for novice autograph seekers on how to obtain autographs. Number 7 tip is don't forget about asking friends to help get sought-after signatures. I practice what I preach.

I have been in contact with Judge Lovert Bassett in reference to his lawsuit against Autograph Central (Bryan Slaven).  Mr. Bassett purchased eight signed photographs from Autograph Central (Bryan Slaven).  The eight signed photographs contained a total of ten (10) signatures of Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney and Elsa Lanchester.

All ten signatures were authenticated by Christopher Morales, Forensic…

Greetings.  My name is Kelly Wilkins. I am a forensic document examiner/handwriting analyst/expert and an avid collector of autographs, myself.  But, I go to horror movie conventions to meet my "heroes", and it dawned on me.  Now that I am certified, why not use this for my benefit.  I have met with managers and the actors themselves as well as other avid collectors and have started to add signature authentication to my services.  Now, this is why I am contacting you. Since this is a subject…

Last Wednesday, I received an autograph back for my longest wait ever. I collect baseball players' autographs, and I usually send off about 10 a month.

My longest wait had been 8 years for Darrell Evans c/o his home, but now I have shattered that mark.

I sent off for Kevin Reimer c/o the Texas Rangers in May of 1991. I received it back last week with the 29 cent stamp still affixed (the post office didn't charge me postage due, either). That is a wait of 19 years and 1…

Today, after 3 months, I've placed 15 new photos on my weblog http://behaver.skynetblogs.be

Please, take a look at it.

I still need the adresses from Austin Roberts, Mary McGregor & Lisa Marie Presley.

Every year the F1 Grand Prix of Monaco is the amazing Highlight of the season. It is like a paradise, where you can collect autographs. There are many opportunities to meet the stars. E.g. at the charity soccer match, around the many yachts in the harbor, at the Hugo Boss-Party or at a prêt-a-porter. There is always something an amazement!

Sebastian Vettel was the star of the weekend.…
