Please bear in mind that MOST autographed items offered on EBay are fake. The best way to avoid problems is to buy from a respected dealer with a physical store. You want someone that will be there when you walk in the door, or call on the phone. Do a little research. Find out who you are purchasing from. If it is too good to be true... chances are it is fake. Don't take a risk when investing. Would you buy stock from someone who will only communicate with you by email? Would you buy a Rolex from someone on EBay who doesn't give you their phone number or address? Don't treat your memorabilia investment any differently. Rock'n'Roll and Hollywood memorabilia is VERY hard to come by. Someone with the wherewithal to authenticate a piece knows what it is worth. There is not a respected dealer in the business who has multiples of these types of pieces. Real dealers have long waiting lists on the high end pieces... they won't be sitting on big inventories. In addition, please research so-called "Forensic Examiners", whose letters are not accepted by legitimate dealers or auction houses. Search for information about them on Google and draw your own conclusion.. We are not the only dealer selling authentic pieces, but we are one of the few. Use your brain, educate yourself, and enjoy collecting! - The Autograph Source Aspen.
