Buying Autographs

[K.B.]

Does anyone here know of any websites that deal with selling celebrity autographs preferbly a site with a really good reputation (and no ebay does not count folks.)

 

[Matt]

I'm not a hardcore collector, but it is my understanding that it is generally a bad idea to ever buy an autograph.

 

[K.B.]

Whys that?

 

[Matt]

Too many counterfeits and people willing to rip you off, I'd assume.

Ebay...if you think it's real why not? Just don't pay too much.

 

[SuperFerret]

I don't get the point in buying autographs.

 

[Lobo]

Yeah, buying doesn't seem the best idea, no real way to know if it's legit.

Who are you looking for?

 

[Morg]

I prefer to get the autograph myself, then I know it's real

 

[Lobo]

Yep, the ones I have, I've all got in person.

 

[K.B.]

I have gotten all the ones I have in person too but c'mon, when am I EVER going to meet Walken?

 

[SuperFerret]

Is the autograph really worth anything to you if you didn't get it yourself? I mean, it seems to me that the experience of meeting someone famous would be the important part, while the autograph is just a memento, but maybe that's just me.

I agree with Ferret and they aren't really worth anything unless you can prove they are 100% authentic.

yeah, plus if you are trying to resell, autographs are hardly worth too much anyway unless they include personal messages.

 

[SuperFerret]

Which makes even less sense to me.

Co-signed. I don't really see the point in BUYING autographs. Like Ferret said, autograph's are special imo because it shows that you met whoever signed it.
