The next question, Steve, is "What other autographs have you purchased there?"

Comment by Steve Sambrano on October 21, 2011 at 12:27pm

The Antique mall has nearly 300 or so sellers.  The store is larger than a Jake Jabs American Family Furature wherehouse.  There are about 25 sellers that sell autographs. I have not purchase any autographs there except these.  I do have my eye on a Neal Armstrong autographed photo.  What are some trust worthy COA companies or names that I should look for?

Forget the COAs. Take a crisp image of the Armstrong signed photo. BTW, a problem-free uninscribed Neil Armstrong signed photo generally goes for about $2,500 or more.

Send them a link to this website, Steve.

Owch! That did sting a bit.  So you are saying That PSA, JSA, Roger Epperson are great authenticators.  I'm new to this hobby, as you can tell, but I want some real autographs to display at home.  I thank you all for your imput, and I want get better at spotting the fakes.  For example, how could you guys so easily spot this one as a fake?  Are you looking for certain strokes and samples of your own collections?

Mike makes a good point.  There are distributors for autograph garbage ranging from Florida to Arkansas to California.  These distributors of autograph garbage look for outlets all over the United States.  They offer rock bottom wholesale prices (ridiculously low) and those autographs are usually accompanied with COAs from entities that are both despised and rejected by the mainstream hobby population.  And what they count on, are people who know nothing about autographs to purchase their crap based on ridiculously low prices and a bogus COA.

Now you're sounding like a lawyer, Steve, and not one looking to collect autographs.

Comment by Steve Cyrkin, Admin on October 21, 2011 at 1:54pm

Chris,

Looking around this site you can find all sorts of examples of genuine and fake autographs, and examples or opinions from various experts and authenticators. I think it will be much more beneficial for you to learn by perusing the site and various dealers yourself.

Thanks Steve, I'll look around.
