Ms. Russell passed away today.  She was scheduled in a couple of weeks to appear at the Hollywood Autograph Show in Chicago in a couple of weeks.  I did luckily have a chance to meet her and get her autograph in Chicago in 2005.  She was a great person to talk to and a nice lady.

I was watching one of those Antique Roadshows type of reality shows. It deals with people that go to storage units and buy them at auctions (the ones that people abandon). They often find autograph stuff in those.

 

They found what was claimed to be a "First edition" copy of Gone With the Wind, signed by the author. They had it checked, it was deemed to be a forgery. And the book wasn't "first edition."

(the Nazi handbook they had was real, and sold for around a thousand…

I have a photograph signed by Humphrey Bogart that I wish to sell but I thought it might be a good item for a Blog in Autograph Magazine.

Did anyone see that cute little boy that appeared on The View?

 

He had been picked on by bullies at school and he got someone to video it. Not sure what happened to the kids doing the bullying, but this kid ended up being on a lot of shows to talk about it.

I saw some documents recently authenticating some Rock memorabilia from a company in Florida called S.A.A.S that was dated in the late 90's. The examiner that signed them was T.

I have tried searching the net with no luck. One person told me his son had taken over the company and possibly relocated. Any feedback would be appreciated.… Continue

Crowd-fundraising websites Indiegogo.com and Kickstarter.com are bringing filmmakers and fans together to make independent films happen and most of the filmmakers are offering autographed movie posters and photos in exchange for donations, which I'm also doing for my Ghostman movie. But 99.9% of the actors and directors are unknown so the autographs aren't even worth the value of the donation. So I think…
