I never did get any Rita thru the mail. At the time of my collecting she was not signing from what i understand so I never did write her. I do have one that I will post. But i dont think it is her's. Your input would be helpful. Thanks Jeff!

Hello im a new member to the site, I have joined hoping to find out information about the artists I like and how to spot fake autographs and be provided with help along the way, ensuring as much as possible that I get a genuine article.

Thanks

Hello all,

I've been collecting for a number of years. I mainly collect HOF'ers in all sports. I've always enjoyed the hunt of getting an IP graph. I graphed the NY Giants for a few years when training camp was in Albany, NY but now all of camp is down in Jersey. Some of my auto's are from shows I attended and the others are from companies I trust that do shows through mail order. I trust mainly Steiner, Mounted Memories, TriStar and Upper Deck. I get a photo of each HOF'er along with a baseball, mini, puck, basketball, boxing glove, ect depending on the sport. I also have a few game used/worn items. The jewel of my collection is my Mariano Rivera auto'd game worn jersey from his first save in his final season last year. I pretty much joined to check out other peoples collections and also to offer an opinion on authenticity if I'm familiar with a graph.

I'll post a link to my bucket if anyone is interested. I still have a bunch of photo's, a few mini's and my two NY Giant Super Bowl team signed helmets to add.

I didn't even know this thread existed. My name is Pete and I'm an addict.

I have been collecting autographs since 1979 and the main focus in that time has been Star Wars, Harrison Ford and good deal of modern celebrity stuff. Jessica Alba to Sarah Michelle Gellar to Scarlett Johansson to Bruce Willis

I don't issue certificates of opinion, and I don't have a well oiled marketing machine. I am available to look at any autograph related to the fields that I study. Dealers and collectors alike have contacted me when they need to and I don't charge a dime. I love this hobby and I don't need to make money for my educated opinion.

I used to hate the word "expert" but after a colleague informed me that one proper usage of the term expert... is someone who has put in 10,000 hours of study in their field.

Using that formula ....I guess I am there a couple of times over.

If I can help with signatures from Star Wars and the like, I am happy to assist.

It's not as cool as knowing everything about The Beatles or astronauts or Hall of Famers, but it's what I love.

Hello All
New member here, hailing from North Carolina. I look forward to interacting with you all and gleaning knowledge from you. Years ago, I wrote Robert Culp a letter in appreciation of his film, Hickey and Boggs. I didn't request a photo but, at his own expense, he sent a very kind note along with a signed photo. This started me on the road to collecting the signatures of stars whose worked resonated with me.

Hello I'm Chelsea. I have been collecting (mostly) celebrity autographs for a little over 7 years and love it! I was looking for a place to sell and buy and discuss autographs with other collector and stumbled through this site. I hope to make many friends with fellow collector on here :)

Hey all,
I'm new here but been collecting since 1997. I'm 37 years old, my name is Walt. I collect mostly 49ers and signed books, but I have a little bit of everything. I also collect celebrity worn and wrestling worn items. Being good friends with Ray mercer and terri runnels I have a ton from them. I am looking to downsize my collection so I can narrow the interests of my collection down.i love trading, I also go to most of the signings in the nj area.as well as conventions. Just coming off a divorce and and break up most of it is in a storage locker which kills me. If you want to trade hit me up!
