I recently ordered 2 signed guitars and 1 LP. The guitars signed by all the members of Led Zeppelin and the LP by all original members of The Guess Who.

They were a gift for my friend in New Jersey who is like a brother to me. You see I'm a 63 year old vet, I'm disabled and in a wheelchair due to dealing with RA for 20 years now along with…

How to buy celebrity autographs and music memorabilia at auctions without getting ripped off.

 

Assume the autographs are fake.

A question about authenticators...
