Description

Thank you so much for viewing my auctions. I have been getting autographs in person in the Pacific Northwest for over 2.5 decades. I also traveled frequently over the years to get autographs up and down the west coast and beyond. Getting autographs in person is not easy and understanding the logistics of a person is an ever evolving art form and tracking them down takes skill, time, and money. Couple this with the fact that more and more people simply don’t sign or sign very little. This is why only a handful of people do this in each city and is why people who sell real autographs have seemingly high prices. 99% of everything I sell I got signed myself, however I do buy items from fellow hounds now and again and acquire premium vintage signed items for my store as well. I guarantee everything I sell to pass any reasonable TPA such as ACOA, PSA, JSA or Roger Epperson. Real autographs aren’t usually cheap and if it’s too good to be true it probably is cause 80% of the signed stuff on ebay is fake. Remember feedback doesn’t reflect authenticity because proven fake items that are returned nullify the auction and thus any ability to leave bad feedback for selling a fake items is gone too.
Shipping, media mail is still cheap but costs have nearly doubled in the last few years. I don’t profit from shipping so if the costs seem abnormally high please bring this to my attention. For albums I use crush proof mailers and I used chip boards and backers and bubble envelopes etc…. and this all cost money so that is built into the rates. Please keep this in mind. International shipping is crazy high now. Ebay requires tracking too so I cannot use the cheaper first class rates. I also use the Global Shipping Program. International buyers, please email me first for all our options and better more accurate quotes.
Condition and specific items details. I list a lot of stuff guys. It takes a lot of time. I can’t always list every single detail so I ask that if you have a specific question about condition or potential minute flaws that you just ask. Getting autographs can be like a scrum and items can get little marks or dents along the way. Usually not, but it can happen. So while 99% of the items are perfect relative to the context, for example a used record is USED!! Some items may have minor flaws so if you are a stickler for details shoot me a message here and I will specifically check for you but it it’s noteworthy I’d be forthcoming or just not list it. This also applies to where I got the items signed. I do not take “proof” photos. Proof photos are one of the biggest scams in the hobby. 99% of the time they don’t show your specific items being signed so they prove nothing other than said person was signing autographs at some point in time. These photos are used repeatedly as a license to forge. People alter these images by photo shopping items into pictures and you can go online and grab any “proof” photos and use them as your own. The other reason I do not take them is because once those cameras come out the signer usually stops signing as they know it’s for ebay. I don’t wish to make the signer uncomfortable and stop signing, my goal is to get more autographs, not generic images of them signing. “Proof” photos are big business in LA and NY for example where that photo being a license to forge is more valuable than the autograph itself. NY, LA and the UK are cesspools of the forging empire. Keep this in mind.
COA’s. The biggest myth in this hobby is that COA’s prove authenticity. This doesn’t even apply to top TPA’s such as Becket or PSA. I regularly see fake times with TPA certs as do I see them fail real items. Authentication isn’t an exact science so like any human they often make mistakes. I do not offer TPA certs with my items. I got them signed myself so I know they are real and don’t need to pay someone else for their opinion on the matter. If you want a top TPA cert you will need to acquire this on your own at your own cost. Usually quick opinions can be had for a fraction of the cost too. I also do not offer a personal COA. Ebay expressly does not allow this though I realize some get away with it. A personal COA is just paper, it has no meaningful power of authenticity on the open market so what is the point? If you want something tangible about where I got something signed I can message you and you can print this out for your records or sometimes the details are in the auction and you can print that out too. I’m willing to give you something tangible but not a homemade meaningless COA. Don’t worry though cause ebay and paypal back you up anyway.
All my autographs are 100% authentic. I get 99% of them in person myself. I guarantee everything I sell to pass third-party authentication or your money back. I have been getting autographs at venues, airports, hotels, events up and down the west coast since 1993. Please keep in mind while most items are in very good to mint condition getting autographs in person is very competitive and often when a celeb picks up a pen it is chaos till they walk away and sometimes items can get little tiny dings or bends in them. Unfortunately it takes too long to detail this in each description so if you have any specific questions about condition, or where an items was obtained please email me ahead of time. Refunds wont be given for minor dings or bends if you don't bother to ask ahead of time but rest assured 99% of my items are just fine and if it was really bad and it effected the value I would just toss the items or I just would not list it or clear state the obvious but please. My prices are set to be fair, often lower then other dealers cause as a collector my self it is always nice to get a deal. If you have any questions please message me anytime.
