Banquet Records - far too many, including some great personalised items. 100% authentic and reliable.

Only gotten a few items from them, but if they ship to US on every item I'm a loyal customer.

Cool idea Dan.

Since I'm in Canada, my primary market autograph store has to be Newbury!

(Even then it's limited shipping to Canada).

Most other sites won't ship to Canada, sure wish Talk Shop would.

Avril Lavigne, Backstreet Boys, Alex Lifeson of RUSH (Envy of None) are my best acquisitions from Newbury.

Used Ozzy's store for Ozzy Patient Number Nine.

Used Amazon UK to get a Slash.

Used Warner Canada for extra Avril too.

Newbury: some of my 1st signed items: Cranberries ( Dolores signed), Keifer Southerland, Jeff Goldblum, Darius Rucker (and many more!)

Barnes: Emilia Clarke has to take the cake over anything else

Direct: Debbie Gibson/GWAR/Bill Wyman/Elton John/Taylor Swift/don mclean/robert englund (freddie krueger), chubby checker, tony hawk, busta rhymes, so many more

My collection has gotten really too large during covid times, but my sports cards buying is way down (non-sports is way up though). I use a whole bunch of different bookstores/music shops/direct sites and other online shops. Hard to pick a best one as they all have ups and downs, and I have picked up people/bands/artists I never thought I'd ever own.

Primary: Indigo and Waterstones have been my most consistent sources of getting items I want. I realize Waterstones' system has taken a hit as of late, but they've always been prompt if I ever had a problem.
