Conan O'Brien and Josh Brolin Talk Autographs!

Josh Brolin, who does a great impersonation of Tommy Lee Jones in the latest Men and Black (which is also a great movie; take it from me, I'm a film critic).

Brolin was talking about all the various countries he has been going to for premieres and walking the red carpet. Brolin said people will yell out for his autograph, and he'll sign. They'll then look down at the paper and say "What's your name?" He found that hysterical, that somebody would ask for your autograph, and not even…

AEROSMITH and RONALD REAGAN -- best autograph stories ever!

Aerosmith and Ronald Reagan -- The two best autograph stories I've heard in weeks!

In Las Vegas I read in a local paper, about an Aerosmith concert. A guy with a fake leg (sorry, I can't spell that other word), was holding it up in the crowd (next to all the folks that hold their lighters when a classic ballad like Dream On is played). The drummer (I believe his name is Joey Kramer...I met him once in L.A. and he's a short dude, not very friendly...but he signed my CD). He asked for…

re: an autograph that is inscribed to someone :

how much does a personal inscription  devalue an autograph? I just read that it devalues an autograph if it has a personalinscription on it - (ie. to Jane...Mick Jagger) - Does it devalue an autograph significantly or is it just a minimal amount ? Wondering here in relation to an investment value standpoint. ty - all replies appreciated !

An auctioneer that wants to see our profession take a different turn

 I am tired of reading about crooked auctioneers and how they prey on the sports hobby. I understand collector's frustrations. Auctioneers do need to take responsibility for what they sell period end of story. I appreciate all of the folks who take their time out to alert the unsuspecting buyers of these forgeries. My concern is I continue to see posts and discussions about local auction houses that mean well. I am sorry, but if you have a room full of autographs and you did not wonder about…
