If I sell anything on eBay, I always send it fully tracked.  The most expensive item I’ve shipped sold for £1,000.  That was a bit of a worry, but it got there and I never heard from the buyer again, so I presume he was satisfied.

I’m a casual, yet discerning, eBay user.  I buy much more than I sell, and even then it’s rarely signed stuff.  But every now and then you come across something really nice that you just have to have.

The item that’s still missing is a vintage, signed concert handbill, plus additional promotional items tied into the same gig.  It’s absolutely irreplaceable, if it never turns up, so a refund is the only option.  I know there are fraudulent buyers out there, but there are also a lot of tight-fisted sellers who want to skimp on packaging and tracking items properly.

The association copy I mentioned is coming from a prestigious rare book dealer, not via eBay.  That one should be fine.

In a recent post regarding Sammy Davis Jr and Muhammad Ali I mentioned that I just obtained a rather nice collection.  Here is a picture of one of the pages of that collection. Carroll O’ Conner, Luciano Pavoritti & Pele.  I have researched these and I also have a solid history of how they were obtained and by whom with dates provided on most.  I will post other pics if anyone is interested in who else is in the collection.

Tommy Chong!!! The sketch is about 3.5x3.5. The trading card completes a full set, base card, numbered private signings, numbered gold proof and numbered silver proof. Probably the only autographed set in existence.

Automan, this is so lovely. Can you tell me the address to ask for an Abba autograph? Did you send the picture? If you sent the request to Sweden how did you manage to send an self stamped envelope from another country?

Steve Young, Peyton and Eli Manning were playing in a golf tournament I was at. I had a Manning photo, but nothing for Young, so I got a golf ball signed. They were all really nice and signed for everyone.
