The "Apollo 13" laserdisc was signed in-person by Kevin Bacon at the Shutter's Hotel in Santa Monica, California on February 26, 2005. Ed Harris signed at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood, California on Feruary 11, 2010. Ron Howard signed at the Director's Guild in West Hollywood, California on February 10, 2010. Kevin signed the front cover with a blue sharpie and both Ed & Ron signed with black sharpies.
I guarantee
the authenticity of the signatures can be confirmed by any of the reputable
authentication companies such as Beckett, JSA, or ACOA. Buyers should not
automatically assume that a signature is genuine just because a
seller offers a COA. Autographs are only as good as the integrity of
the person who is selling them. That said, I offer my own Celluloid
Heroes COA, signed by me, to anyone that requests one with their purchase.
Sometimes, when a celebrity is in a hurry, they often give a
"rushed signature" resulting in a sloppy autograph. But because I
watched them sign it, I know that it is authentic. Therefore, if a
reputable authentication company decides they cannot guarantee the item's
authenticity, simply get a document from them stating their opinion and return
it with the item for a full refund. If you're not happy with your
purchase for any reason, there is a 30-day no-questions-asked refund
policy. Returned items must be received back in the same condition
as when purchased and the buyer must pay for shipping.
I started Celluloid Heroes in May 1995 but didn't start selling on
ebay until January 2014. Most of the autographs I'm offering were
gotten in person over the last 30+ years either by me or by one of the
collectors I worked with in the greater Los Angeles area including Hollywood,
Westwood, and Beverly Hills. About 85-90% of the autographs will
have the exact location and date that they were obtained.
In the future I will be selling some of the autographs from my
private collection that I’ve purchased from other reputable dealers. I will
guarantee their authenticity just like I do for the ones that were personally
collected. I never buy or sell any autographs unless I believe they
are genuinely authentic. Although I’m not a professional authenticator, I
did develop an eye for the signatures of hundreds of famous people during the
10-year period when I was actively collecting at least four to five days a
week.
A shipping discount will be given for multiple item purchases. If
you have any problems with your purchase, please contact me before giving any
negative feedback as I would like to keep my 100% positive feedback
rating. Feel free to ask any questions you might have because I want
all buyers to be happy with their purchases. And if you have a good
experience with Celluloid Heroes, please leave us some positive
feedback. Thanks again for your interest!
