I definitely can agree with this article, with stars ( artist).that sign through their site, there's no need to buy from a hound anymore and the younger gen want selfies. Look at pete chuka's comment on Harrison ford, people dont really want is street graph.

You really can buy some nice items through different sites, eg Jimmy page, silver.g. photo's or Bob dylan signed serial graphs, to used band equipment on reverb.
If i were an autograph dealer, id be sell everything because it seems collectors most likely already own it and there's no need listing stuff when people die if the interest isnt there anymore.
