Most signed pieces are too small to evaluate, but there are some COAs from Antiquities and AAU (Drew Max) and Antiquities-like framing, so extreme caution is advisable. The framed Led Zeppelin album "signed" by all 4 is a prime example.

They have a Jimmy Hendrix autographed album. Jimmy is the lesser known third cousin of the famous Jimi Hendrix who played at Woodstock.

I ran across this the other day. Not trying to hijack this thread but maybe add since probably the same type pieces.

Thanks, Barry. We all owe Bruce Juice a big thank you for contacting the New York Post reporter about the auction:

I'd love to see these items in person and watch how the auction goes down. I'm afraid many will go home with what they believe are diamonds and will find out later they have a fugazi. The GNR is bad

and anything with COAs from those folks is questionable.

There's no doubt in my mind that most of this is junk. The framed matted stuff is the kind of crap thats available at every mall in Vegas.....fake, fake and fake.

Its a tax auction and the IRS seems none the wiser. If it does sell at what they're asking and covers the guys taxes, well I would call that a pretty good day for him.
