  • Whether it's Hollywood celebrities, A-list athletes or rock stars--for many fans, getting an autograph is a dream come true. And the FBI says it's a billion-dollar a year business. But how much of it is the real deal?

    This is why only autographs that I get myself in person are the only autographs that matter to me.

    A local company tried to sell a guitar signed by George Harrison. The problem was that when you checked the serial number you discovered the guitar left the factory 2-3 months after Harrison died.

    Only buy autographed memorabilia with legit coa companies. JSA, PSA, Schwartz are some of the best

      @@nate31sharing I went and watched the feature, thanks for the link. Interesting that although he said the company was JSA, they never showed the JSA sticker on the fake memorabilia, and did for the other companies (none of which I had heard of before). I would still consider JSA to be one of the most reputable companies in the industry, but they are only human - mistakes are made.

    I bought a jersey from the Baltimore Orioles at a fan fest in Camden yards. A couple years later I found out that style of jersey was never authorized by MLB to be used in a game.

    You see it signed..it's real...otherwise who knows. I just hate the flood in the comic market with all of the uncertified signatures ruining good books. Even certified, unless I see it signed..who knows.

      I SAW Both Mike Myers and "Mini Me" Verne sign a photo for me the day before the movie premiered and over 20 years later--i decided to sell it--and BOTH PSA and JSA said "its not real" I sent them a photo of them signing the EXACT item, I saw it signed and they say 'not real" LOL OK..I dreamed Mini me signed it. OK Ive also seen things they passed as authentic that no way is real.

    Antiquities has a real bad reputation. There “in house authentication” is as shady as it gets. I have been there, saw a Jim Morrison signature that was definitly fake, as well as a fake Def Leppard one.

      postersandstuff i hate the too good to be true motto. some people dont know what they have, ive gotten multi thousand dollar autographs under 100 dollars before, eventually authenticated by jsa/psa. The real secret is to learn what your looking for before buying autographs, takes years of practice

      Griffey Jr. would be your most valuable one. Depending on which card it is can fetch $100-$500 on average up to $1000 or a little more for a rare card or rookie card

    People need to do research before buying autographs. Don't even buy them from places like that. If they don't have COA from reputable companies(isn't always third party) then don't believe they're legit.
