A real Emma Stone sells for $60-$100+. They're asking 10.99 GBP for this one, which certainly is a sign. But even if it was priced at market value, it still looks like a forgery to me.

I don't care for this sellers tone. That and what Steve said is all I can say.

I've heard of that seller before and I believe they've been around for a while. That being said, I don't know much about them other than they're UACC and AFTAL dealers.

Honestly, it might be better to hold out for a better quality Emma instead of one with inherent question marks. I don't know how this particular dealer operates (i.e. how they really get their autographs) or anything about their track record, who they work with, etc. Their website doesn't seem to exist anymore. If they want to take that old school approach of non-transparency in their operation, that's up to them. Personally, I'd pass, regardless of the price.

Hi, this is Martin from signing dreams, I wanted to address the questions about the e stone and also reply to Rich etc

We have been collecting as a business for over 20 years and there will be many many dealers on here that know me, many that I’ve collected with over the years, that you guys mention as trustworthy and also recommend.

In answer to the cheap emma stone autograph, the reason that one in particular is cheap is due to damage which says clearly in description on eBay.

All our other emma stones are priced at £39.99, Gibby did not mention that on the  thread.

In reply to Rich about how we really obtain our autographs, well the truth is it’s in person to most, we go to nyc regular when the world allowed us to travel, and we also collected with who are our friends with many of the nyc dealers , we also collect in utah at sundance every year.

I’m afraid covid ruined that this year for us, again many dealers from nyc, seattle, Texas would verify as we are altogether during the week.

The items I don’t collect in person we purchase in bulk from a couple of dealers who are mentioned on here as trustworthy and on your recommended list, couple are also racc trusted dealers and part of acoa

In reference to not having a website currently, we only just closed it down as need a better one as been finding unscrupulous sellers have been using our video proof so we closed it down and wanted a revamp then covid took over so been on back burner

I could name quite a few autograph known dealers on here in the states and uk who would explain about us and how we collect but it’s not my place to name anyone.

If any questions at all then please speak to us, we won’t bite.

We try to be open as possible and we are currently in process of getting all items acoa approved.

I hope this helps with anyone’s queries and if anyone on here wants to mention me in good light then please do so and I understand if people simply don’t want  to get involved.

All have a great Christmas and happy holidays and hope I have at least answered some answers

I do have thousands of photo proof and video proof but we never display online with our image due to reason of PAs esp in uk recognising us and other dealers I collect with and calling us out as selling and stopping us or making it difficult for us collecting at premieres or events.

I display these images and videos at uk comic cons

Again all best and Rich I was no way moaning at what you said just replying to you

All best

Martin

No offense taken and apologies if I came off as a bit too judgmental. I have heard of/come across Signing Dreams a number of times in the past but I don't recall much else specifically (i.e. items I was looking at, impressions, etc) - plus I had to double check that you were the same longtime seller Signing Dreams (as opposed to another random Ebay seller with a similar name). For whatever it's worth, I spot checked a couple of items I have above average familiarity with, and they seemed just fine.

Hi Rich

glad you didn’t take offence, as did not mean any at all, world needs to be more friendly.

of course some graphs in person look bad, esp in a crowd, people being pushed, stars rushed and security being a pain and it’s tough for us to sell them but it’s what they do so if they sign bad then that’s all we can sell. That’s why we are in process of trying to get all items acoa approved as with Justin he’s been there and collected on the streets so he definitely knows his stuff and knows how bad some graphs can be.

im glad we connected and thanks again for replying

Have a great Christmas and let’s hope a much better new year

sorry using phone so fat thumbs take over 

Martin
