I think moving to Shangi La  is a good idea.,......they are selling imaginary autographs from an imaginary company.

It sounds like you have placed orders, my suggestion is that you post images immediately so you can hear about what you got.....than you can see how good their return policy is.

These are garbage and as Pete says if you have purchased please post images and see if they do accept returns or if you need to contact your credit card company etc

The items I bought were nothing like these. One was a book, which I matched to an identical books. Same book plate etc. One was a Weird Science "tv show" autograph of three (cheap). The last is a Sin city 2 poster with Dawson and Alba. I'm mainly comfortable with the Alba, as Dawson has little to go by...Mainly an R and a D... I did research on that one, and it matched great with one that someone received by donating to a Rosario Dawson's charity event. Both Dawson and Alba Signed that.

Looking again, here's one of the others: Blowoutcards Link. Looks better in person, but hard to photograph as it's now in a frame (Glare).

This looks fine, but I would be very careful about what you pick up from them on cast signed posters. all 3 you linked above are scary bad.

Yeah the sin city was completely different. No third party COA (hologram etc.) and looked pretty good. Same color marker, but makes sense if signed at same time, which is more likely for just two. Most cast items don't have "EVERYONE" signing them. Closest are usually years later after many Comic Cons or lucky studio hits.

These hologram ones, even at high prices, are too good to be true. The marvel.com link shows Marvel making a big deal of a cast signed item going for charity. I just don't see big names ALL sitting down and signing fifty. However, this is a personal opinion.

From what I gather, only some celebrities, before and after shows, sign for fans at premiers. 

The "exception" to multiple signings is at events like comic cons, specifically SDCC. SDCC has multiceleb signing events, but I've never seen ALL the cast at them. Anything close would have to be acquired from multiple cons and not all attend cons. Even at the secondary comic cons, like Wizard World, some won't sign "brought" items. They only sign photos provided at the tables. At least that was the case at the last Wizard World Con I went to.

Rosario and Jessica were at SDCC last summer and did sign Sin City Posters, Rosario sis sign some of them in Red, most were signed in Silver. James Brolin, Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez also signed the main poster.

If this was signed at SDCC for Rosario's charity ... it is quite realistic that she may have had Jessica sign as well.

     That's mine from last year.

and one of mine from SDCC 2004

I also find, especially on the AoU poster, the use of SO MANY colors. There's even a teal? It almost looks like someone tried to hard to make it not seem uniform.
