bhryun Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Try Ebay. They have everything. Just type what you're looking for into the search area. Link to post Share on other sites
edgedrv Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 wpdicarlo, one has to be very careful when buying autographs through the mail. There are many forgeries around! So be careful. Link to post Share on other sites
zombi6422 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I would say avoid ebay unless you REALLY know what you're doing. But some simple hints to eliminate some of the fakes: #1: Never EVER bid on any auction where the seller keeps the User Id of the bidders: "PRIVATE". #2: Analyze the signature in every possible way. Look at the paper. Many autographs from people on ebay are signed on chalk white paper when the person died 60+ years ago.In other words, make sure the paper looks its age. #3: Another simple throw off is what it was signed with. There are things signed by people like Babe Ruth in sharpie pens when the sharpie didn't start being used widely until the 1980s. #4: Know the seller. COA's are worthless unless PSA/DNA etc. If the person has 500+ signaure auctions going all the time and they seem to have an endless supply of signatures, do not bid. #5: Before buying be sure to ask several questions and if they do not answer them to your satisfactory do not bid.

classicsfan1119 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Zombie, thank you for posting your tips about using EBay for autographed pictures. In recent years I've heard absolute horror stories from people who really got stung there, and are now the proud owners of totally worthless fakes. ML Link to post Share on other sites

nickdimeo Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Also a word of warning, most of the photos signed by MGM stars during the silent era and the 1930's are secretary signatures. Although the photos are signed by a secretary, they are still worth a few dollars because they came from MGM during the golden age. Link to post Share on other sites
