<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Snowman Cometh, post: 10282249, member: 83302&quot;]If a person is not standing in front of you signing, there&#039;s a 50/50 chance you&#039;re buying a fake. It&#039;s always a gamble. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin you have a 10% chance of getting something real. </p><p><br /></p><p>My best conquest in collecting is Hank Williams Sr. It&#039;s a slip of paper with his autograph in pencil and I paid under $100. The seller&#039;s sister got it when she saw him in Mississippi. He even gave me a reproduction of the poster for the show. When we got there, he was on the phone with someone who was offering him triple to sell it to him. He was an honest old man, and kept his word. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&nbsp; collect old Hollywood stars. I try to buy them inscribed to people. For a forger to inscribe would take a little extra time, and most people don&#039;t like inscribed pieces. They have to be special and fairly cheap. Nowadays most autographs are cheap. </p><p><br /></p><p>I did pick up for $10 an autograph book from an antique shop, and it was filled with singers and bandleaders back from the 30s and early 40s. It has all three Andrew Sisters when they were still signing Andrew Sisters and not their first names. The person who got the autographs put the date and their first names. This girl&#039;s father worked for a NY radio station.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
