Authenticating and Pricing

ARE THE AUTOGRAPHS ORIGINAL and AUTHENTIC?
YES, We guarantee that the autographs are original and authentic. We check ink, paper, water marks, and photo types. For example, certain types of paper or ink and ink pens were used during specific periods of time. We have an extensive library which includes reference books on inks, pens, paper, etc., as well as thousands of examples of signatures on legal documents that we have owned and use for comparative analysis. We personally authenticate each piece we own. We furnish provenance whenever possible and guarantee authenticity for the life of the autograph. All autographs come with a certificate of authenticity. Our philosophy has always been that if, at the time we are obtaining an autograph, we have any questions or doubts about it’s authenticity, we won’t purchase it.

HOW IS PRICING DETERMINED?
The prices listed in a price guide only tell part of the story on pricing. Content & Condition are very important as well as rarity & demand. For example, the price of an autograph of an actor who has signed many items such as photographs, would not be the same price as his or her signature on a legal document that pertains to the role that they are most famous for. Additionally, the amount of time involved in finding good quality material, as well as the cost to purchase the item also play a role in establishing the price.

We enjoy this business! We have thousands of autographs in many forms and sell our items at a range that enables buyers to get quality items at fair prices.
