The Right Way To Spot Genuine Celebrity Autographs

By Joe Smurfit


Celebrity autographs aren't only fun to collect but they can also serve as great investments to add to any portfolio. There are an a few things to remember when purchasing celebrity autographs to be sure you are making an investment in real autographs.

Spotting fake autographs is nearly a black art. Spotting them can be difficult when celebrities change their signatures on a consistent basis. Some straightforward approaches include the fundamentals like spelling. Often , the imposters will wrongly spell celebrity names and these are easy to identify. Also check for age of material. As an example, if the celebrity is relatively old and they have laser revealed photographs floating around the web, with their so-called signature, you know these are phony as laser photos didn't exist when they were alive.

It's a smart idea to also remember that there are celebrity autographs often referred to as "secretarials", meaning that they are autographs signed by their helpers. These types of signatures are also often broadcast in serious quantities on 8x10 pictures and are not really worth the paper they're imprinted on. Spotting these frauds is crucial since you don't want to waste not only your time, but your cash in what turns out to be a worthless investment.

If you're looking to make a decent profit from your celebrity autograph collection, consider how the celebrity lived their life. As an example, James Dean not only expired at a tender age, but he is known to have led a questionable way of life. The age the celebrity passed away can play a big part in how much their autograph is worth. Imagine celebrity autographs from such public figures as Bruce Lee or Marilyn Monroe. These types of autographs can garner you a large profit swiftly.

More up to date celebrities can also turn a quick profit if the celebrity has been in or remains strap-line makers. Think along the lines of Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. Sports celebrities are little different. In their case, famous athletes like David Beckham who is not only a great sportsman, but a famous sex symbol, should be a good investment when you're actively looking for autographs.

Just do not forget to play it smart and consider carefully about fake celebrity autographs before plunking down your cash. Use common-sense methods to identify the frauds and you can begin building a great portfolio.
