In the mid-1920's there was an autograph auction craze over Button Gwinnett documents and the Signers of the Declaration of Independence. Because only 49 signatures of Gwinnett were known to exist at the time, prices reached over $15,000 for the rare signer from Georgia.

In this months RR Auction manuscript sale, we have a letter from Harry Houdini who writes of Gwinnett's value: "They were in a…

This past Sept. 2012 there was an auction in Farmington Hills, MI featuring items owned by the late great sportscaster Ernie Harwell.

I've always wanted to have an autograph of "The King" in my collection... I've been watching the signed LP for a couple days now and I'm ready to pull the trigger and make a bid - just want to make sure it's legit as I'm sure there are Elvis forgeries everywhere!…

Hi guys! I'm looking to add a Bob Dylan signature to my collection and I know I'll have to open up the wallet but I want to make sure I'm getting the real thing as I know he is a very tough signature to obtain. I'm looking at this 8x10 currently listed on eBay from seller 'gas-items' (item #120987372895). Looks like it could be a fan club type photo or something from his…

Was hoping that someone might be able share some knowledge on this BB King autographed 8x10. The eBay seller 'buffalo-graphs', who has 1402 feedback and a 100% rating claims that the photo was obtained in-person at a hotel back in 2010. Seems like a good story but he also claims to have "proof" but doesn't show any proof pictures... The Buy it Now price seemed kind of…

Here is a closer photo of the Mantle ball

Hopefully someone can help me. Is this Mantle ball authentic? I have heard stories about scoreboard that they might be 50/50. Any opinions would be helpful

When I first noticed these on Ebay, I was shocked that anyone would buy this garbage. 

The below items are listed by Ebay seller pjgatzke. 

Ebay seller pjgatzke already sold the Ty Cobb and Cy Young autographs.   The Ty Cobb sold for $405.00 and the Cy Young sold for $300.00.   These are horrific forgeries.   Both were purchased by the same buyer.  Does the buyer of those Ty Cobb and Cy Young forgeries really believe he purchased authentic autographs of Ty Cobb…

I bought an autograph from Karl's Ephemera in Conn. Has anyone ever dealt with them?  It was made out to a women & just signed Rick Nelson. His signature is very neat & legible. Most I have seen are not as neat. In addition I do not see a clear c Rick looks more like Rik. The paper looks very old & it's in felt pen. I paid very little but still would like to know if it's legit. With the information I have submitted can anyone give me some feedback. I was going to upgrade it for a…

I have  the 1990 "Behind The Mask" tour book that I got signed during that tour by Billy Burnett, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Stevie Nicks and Rick Vito.  It needs Christine McVie to complete.  I am totally sick of looking at this unfinished item for the last 22 years. 

Does anyone have an address for Christine McVie?  All I know and have read, is that she is…

First of all, let me say that I am knew to this site and this is my first post.  I have been a long time reader, but just recently joined.  I recently came across this Vince DiMaggio Signed Baseball listed online.  The ball looks amazing and almost seems too good to be true.  As you all know, Vince signed baseballs are impossible to find and one in this condition is unheard of.  My questions are A.)  Do you think it is real and B.)  If it is real what is it worth.  Any/All opinions are…

After many years of speculation the proof is finally here.

I recently purchased a Matt Barkley signed USC jersey with JSA coa off of ebay. There was no clear photo of the coa, hologram or any mention of the coa number. I did however buy the jersey based on the fact that it was "authenticated" by JSA.

Please allow me to back up just a little bit. I have been collecting, selling and doing autograph signings for almost 20 years so i am in no means new to the whole autograph and…
