I'm extremely conflicted over collecting Nazi autographs, especially Hitler. My late father brought an autographed photo of Hitler back from Berlin after WW II and had it hidden away until I found it after his death. Initially I was going to keep it and have it framed, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I eventually sent it to RR Auction and let them sell it.
A couple of days ago a friend sent me this JPEG of Hitler and two VERY German-looking boys Hitler autographed and inscribed to one or the other boy in the pic. My friend sent it more as a curiosity as opposed to consideration for purchase. I think the seller wants $6800 for it. I guess it's authentic.
Any opinions on the collecting of notorious individuals' autographs?

It's a personal decision. There is an historical significance. But, it would also be offensive to others. Not something a person would want to proudly display on their wall. Personally, not my cup of tea.
There was a big and very lengthy debate on this very topic a few months ago.
At first these sort of items were restricted here.
Then the security got a bit more relaxed
The final decision was to make a separate and private group for this category of nefarious characters
We are still waiting for this to happen
People do indeed collect these and in the end an autograph is still an autograph.
Is this graph authentic signed? I dunno... It's a poor scan

you are most welcome BG
I hope the new group does indeed get created soon as it's obvious this type of category is going to come up from time to time.
A Charles Manson was posted not long ago and is definitely a candidate for the group.
PS... "infamous" is probably the more correct term to use and a good group title
It will be set up once we move to our new platform. That way I can keep the content out of the activity stream.
