Norman, I think we do. What do you call rock solid proof?

Regarding buyers, as Scott pointed out, Rock Star Gallery has one of these on their site. And Celebrites Galleries has this one:

They've been sued by over fake John Lennon drawings they sold him, and they buy from Forever Legends (as you can see) and Autograph Central.

Norman, on top of that; they don't even look like John Lennon's signature of any era. It's time for everyone to wake up. If you want to bury your head in the sand then buy some of these. Let us know how many you buy.

I get buyers calling me about these at least twice a week. Some have spent hundred's of thousands of dollars on this stuff.

I spent $50,000 over a two year period. I am sure that I would have purchased atleast another $25,000 filling in the blanks. I am glad that I figured it out before I bought anymore of this stuff. I always thought that I would be able to get most of my money back if I decided to sell my autograph collection. I was a little off on the resale value of this nonsense.

I find it amazing that so many of these pieces are signed in felt-tip pen, all nicely-centered, all with nearly identiocal signatures, and none of them inscribed. How do they find these incredibly rare items, all in pristine condition, all in quantity and at unbelieveable prices? I sure hope they consign...to my competition!

As soon as I see one that says, "To Stephen, here is one for your collection", I'll buy it. I have no dought this one is out there too. When anyone sees it, please let me know asap.

Fact or Fiction from IADA? Speaking of which have you see their Collector Corner blogs lately? Filled with Porn and advertisements of about everything and anything not connected with collecting unless of course you are "special" type.


John Lennon's Last Audio Recording and Rare Autograph Revealed
Published: Friday, 5 Nov 2010 | 11:24 AM ET
By: Elizabeth Gerst

A Beatles historian has come across one of the last autographs John Lennon signed before his fatal encounter with Mark David Chapman thirty years ago.

CNBC has learned that rock historian Denny Somach will put the autograph up for sale next week. "We never thought a piece like this would be discovered," says Somach, who is also an avid collector.

CNBC obtained an image of that autograph and what is likely the last known audio recording of Lennon. (You can hear the recording later in this story).

Both have been authenticated by multiple sources, including memorabilia expert Darren Julien, President and CEO of Julien's Auctions.

Roger -- these people are just plain stupid -- you get what you pay for !!! What does a "REAL" John Lennon signature go for $3,000.00. All Authenticators make mistakes (about 5% of the time , maybe 10%), Spence, PSA, and even yourself Roger but these are legitimate mistakes. These guys and the people who authenticate this crap, make me sick. I think they should have the death penalty for these jerks. I also have a problem with auction house LOA's that are flooding the industry because people are putting in some fake stuff in with the real goods and getting away with because of the volume of the auction lot etc. This stuff with the Beatles merchandise is just amateurish and can be seen by a 5 year old if you would show them exemplars.

I think I saw John Lennon signing more autographs............nope, my mistake.  Just more fakes on Ebay.
