Yeah but still. Im sure there are plenty of people who would be interested in autographed memorabilia. Especially with btc prices so high, people are more willing to spend some. You should think about posting so of your stuff here for sale. You never know. Maybe I'll be your first client.

Thank you.  I appreciate your interest.

Not sure there's a market for selling autographs on this forum.   I am selling autographs & holograms for the coin makers as a tie-in to the Encyclopedia as mentioned in my sig. 

Most of the collectors in this forum are more involved in coins & bullion, which makes sense given that physical bitcoins are mostly in the form of coins, bars, and cards. 

And still looking................

Wow that's a super cool collection. Why don't you start a thread selling them for Bitcoin? Id be interested to read and follow that thread if you continue to put up new and interesting articles. Do you have any plans for that come 2017?

I guesstimate I have 1500 different celebrities on 8x10 photos, maybe another 500 on 3x5 index cards, maybe 10 full cast signed scripts, 50 8x10 or larger sketches, tons of original cartoon strips, 50 golf balls, 30 baseballs or other sports items, and other random things.

My favorite stuff is a program signed by the cast of Seinfeld, full scripts by the cast of Cheers, and other tv shows, record albums signed by the Rolling Stones, the Doors with J. Morrison, AC/DC, Guns & Roses.  An old letter by JFK when he was a Senator originally sent to him by my grandfather.  Lots of sketches by actors, some sketches by lots of cartoonists.  A baseball signed by the 1967 Red Sox team.  A litho signed by Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, G Sarazen, and B.Nelson.  A giant litho poster signed by 20+ HOF golfers.   A bat signed by maybe 20 HOF.   Those are some things that come to mind.

I spent most of my time (aside from school) in my college days camping out at hotels when rock groups or sports teams were in town.  I never paid for the autographs...it was just for the fun of it.

Basically, all my stuff is 20-25 years old.

I go from being a nut collecting autographs to now a nut collecting all physical bitcoins.  lol

Makes me wish I was friends with you 25 years ago.  I would have never thought of buying a celeb address list and sending out my own cards and letters to be signed. You must have amassed quite the collection over the years. Do you have any favorite pieces that you'd never part with? I have a few of thoses, one is a autographed baseball signed by Wayne Gretzky, I know, a baseball for a hockey player, that's why its one of my favorite items, the other is a PSA DNA verified signature from Meyer Lansky which I happened to get on a fluke trip to Vegas where I met Sandra Lansky who's Meyer's daughter. She was there with the daughter of Harold Lloyd the silent film star. Anyway, those are my two favorite pieces in my collection. What are some of yours?

I recall there being a list of mailing address for celebrities.  I purchased that roughly 25 yrs ago, and sent to approx 200+ people.  I started off sending a 3x5 notecard and if I received something back, I would then send a 8x10 photo to get signed.  I would include a self addressed stamped envelope to return back to me to make it easy for them, if they chose to sign.  Maybe half of the people sent back things.  I did get some nice things, like a hand written full-page letter from David Bowie, with his personal phone number provided, when he tried calling me.  I'd often find out who likes to draw and send them 8x10 paper to do doodles.  I might have about 50 of those like Muhammed Ali, Mario Andretti, etc.  I would often write to cartoonists since I really like hand drawn art, and may people sent back original daily and Sunday cartoon panels.  Lots of cool things from about 20-25 years ago.

One of my things would be to send a photocopy of a hand-written letter, then fill in the blanks to make it look personal but not kill me writing to each person.

But I really enjoyed all the in-person events.  I went to the opening of the International Museum of Cartoon Art, and met many cartoonists there.  I once was asked by the Road Warriors wrestling duo to drive them to their match in my parent's station wagon when they missed their ride, met the cast of Seinfeld, many Presidents, rock groups, practically every sports team, etc...etc... good times.

Everything I got was in person with the few things in the mail.  Nothing with a official COA.  It wasnt done for profit or as a business.  I just enjoyed the experience. 

I did purchase/trade a Joe Pesci (Goodfellas) color photo.  I believe I also purchased/traded for Al Pacino (Godfather).  I dont recall if either came with a COA. 

Tha's such a cool story, what gave you the idea to write to the celebs and ask them for signatures, and while we're on that subject. Do you have any Mafia movie memorabilia that does come with a coa.

Thanks.  Yup, you gotta be careful buying second hand.  If the celebrity themselves didnt use an autopen or secretary, then the reseller could be forging or unknowingly buying forged autographs.  Back around 20 years ago, I used to write to some celebrities in the mail. 

I've collected some cool things like lots of hand-drawn sketches from celebrities and cartoonists.  Some original cartoon panels, scripts signed by entire casts of tv shows, and millions of other random signed things.

But the fun part was meeting celebrities in person.  I would find out what hotels that sports teams would goto while in town.  Or I would call different hotels looking for obscure people associated with rock groups knowing they would be in town, but not use assumed names.  I'd goto celebrity golf tournaments or wait at various venues.  Some fun times and some interesting stories. 

I know and I understand. You're doing the right thing so dont feel upset. There are 1000 fakes for every real autograph out there that's collected by collectors. It can be actors or presidents, sports stars and rock stars alike. If there's money to be made on the autograph then chances are you'll find plenty more fakes then legit. I do have to say that the photo the signature was on looking great.

Ok.  No problem.  I'll take it off my listing since you were able to check it.  Since I couldn't vouch for it being in person, I didn't post on this thread initially. 

The one you linked me in the pm is clearly not him who signed it. That R in Robert is the total give away.  Sorry.

Yes,  I do have a few photos signed.  I sent them by mail roughly 20 yrs ago.  I can't tell for sure that he signed them vs a secretary so I didn't reply on this thread earlier.  I'll send pics to the OP and decide if he's interested.

Thanks man. I sent him a message. Let's see if he reply's.

 
Im looking and talking to all of you. You got some stuff for me to buy?

Bump.

Still looking.

Bump.

Done. look forward to seeing your picture.

It was an Ex-girlfriends, I have had it since about 2000 or so. I believe she got it as a gift. It is not framed, but I can frame it for you, I probably have the right size. I will try to find it. Assuming there is no COA would you still be interested? Obviously I expect you'd like to see a picture first before making an offer. BTW please PM me here for faster response as I do not check the threads as often. Thanks.

Also please check behind the frame as a lot of time you'll find a coa or a coa sticker that can be used to tell if the piece is legit.

Can you post a picture and tell me more about it. Where did you get it, when did you get it. Is it framed, ect.......

I have a signed headshot some where if you are interested. I don't think it has a COA tho. PM me an offer if you are interested.

Thanks dude, got it fixed now.

 You can move it yourself look at the bottom left-hand side of the screen. Click the move link and select the section to move it to.

Thanks for letting me know. Im rather new here. Do you know how I go about getting it moved?

Your WTB post is more appropriate to be listed under the Collectibles child board.

Im looking for anything legit Robert De Niro memorabilia. Signatures, pictures, scrypts, posters ect.

Must be 100% authentic and come with a COA.

Post your items and prices below.
