How 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 one or two things to bear in mind when purchasing celebrity autographs to be completely certain you are making an investment in authentic 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 are looking at making a reasonable profit from your celebrity autograph collection, deliberate over how the celebrity lived their life. For example, James Dean not only snuffed it at a young age, but he's thought to have led a controversial lifestyle. The age that the celebrity died can play a serious part in how much their autograph is worth. Imagine celebrity autographs from such public figures as Bruce Lee or Marilyn Monroe. These kinds of autographs can collect you a serious profit fast.

More recent celebrities can also turn a fast profit if the celebrity has been in or is still title makers. Think along the lines of Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. Sports celebrities are no different. In their case, famous sportsmen like David Beckham who isn't just a great athlete, but a well-known sex symbol, should be an equitable investment when you are actively seeking autographs.

Just remember to play it clever and think carefully about fraudulent celebrity autographs before plunking down your money. Use commonsense strategies to spot the crimes and you can begin building a great portfolio.
