TIPS ON COLLECTION AUTOGRAPH

[michaelchester]

If your a serious collector an not a seller heres a few tips.
1) keep a spread sheet on who you sent a request with a date
2) keep a record on what address you used:
3) I also keep a record of autographs I received
4) I also keep a record of autograph that you have to pay for, of celebrities who dont sign, of autographs which are pre-printed (which are made by copy machines) still a good save but not as gratifying (I hate these)
reasons why:
a) update Fanmail.biz which with my experience is the number one place to find addresses
b) some address can be out of date-celebrities change agents like we change shirts.
C) if you have an address that is out of date please post it for others on Fanmail.biz
d) some you can find on Facebook, Instagram, etc
--I once used a address in the data base which had a reply on a received autograph on Jan 2018, I sent mine on Feb 2018 and came back "move, no longer available. that's how fast they can change.
I will caution EVERYONE about purchasing autographs through internet outlets for sale majority of them are fake, hand written by sellers themselves for outrageous amounts
One last thing-really on Fanmail.Biz first it a good starting point an you learn alot from other members of the site.
HAPPY COLLECTING-ENJOY YOUR WINS.

Not a majority of them. The key is to know the autograph, know the seller, and know the provenance of the signature. Don't rely on COAs, as they have no legal standing, and authentication services can and do mistakes.

I stand corrected by still your taking a chance, and then again when we do get autographs-its a gamble-thanks for your informative input

It's always a gamble when you get autographs TTM or by buying them. You can get to 99 and a good couple nines after the decimal point sure, but the only way of being 100 percent sure of authenticity is to get signatures in person. Again, provenance is your best friend when it comes to TTM or buying signatures.
