Yeah, I am seeing the Armstrong over $4k now. Are undedicated Collins and Aldrin on same photo also at a premium? Thanks.

I sent in photos to Beckett to have a Tim Tebow signature authenticated. All I’m wanting to do is make a picture with the autograph and a photo above it. I did all this online and I’m waiting for them to authenticate the signature. I got it from Tebow himself when they gave away his book at the Georgia Florida Game so I know it’s real. When they authenticate it what will they send me to prove that the signature is authentic? Or will they just send me an email saying yes it’s authentic and that’s that?

I wonder if all these big signers doing Barnes & Noble signed book copies are autopen, example Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Downey Jr, Natalie Portman.

Roy Campanella used a auto pen after his car accident in 1957

Could they be larger than 8 x 10

Ho Steve. I'm getting back into autographs and would like to ask you a question. I plan on storing my autographs in a binder in polypropylene or preferably polyester/ mylar pages. My question is do collectors commonly use backing boards behind photographs in these sleves to add firmness and prevent bends? Also can you recommend any good books on autograph collecting? Thank you

I think it depends on the item, #1 is authentication, PSA/DNA, BGS, JSA, Fanatics, etc. If it is a reputable authentication company including if it’s populated in the system. So, if it’s not authenticated by those companies and in system, if u see a good price, you would jump on it.

I sometimes look at items that have inscriptions, because it seems less likely to be an autopen or other forgery.

On one group they recommended YOU! BTW, I am keeping it win lose or draw, its still an nice image w/frame!

What about a Group Photo w/X-15? It has Rushworth (USAF), McKay (NASA), Peterson (Navy), Walker! (NASA), Armstrong (NASA), White (USAF). Mine is in frame and different than others I found online, I cannot tell if print/signatures are copy BUT I did find others found online were different Signature placement + variation in Signatures. Surely The 1st on the Moon, the Fastest, + the Highest make mine desired if it is real (need to crack frame).

I bought a Framed Autographed Picture Advertised as a FACIMILE! It is a Pro-Framed 1960's Era Pic of the X-15 w/Rushworth, McKay, Peterson, Walker, Armstrong and White each w/thier Signatures above. I noticed via reverse image search the same signed photograph but w/different Signature organization/position and one was "Verified by you 😉" This leads me to believe I may have at worse got exactly what was Advertised, at best? The Real Thing? Or A Copy of The Real Thing.... I haven't cracked the frame and for $35 I got a nice picture at least, or the deal of a lifetime!

Hi, great video. I stumbled upon The Inkwell Autograph Gallery, do you think they might be legit? They have an address and everything

I have a chance to buy a PSA verified Armstrong, encapsulated. It’s an 8 X 10 for $1600. It’s an official lithograph What do you think? Signature is strong with personalized dedication. Thanks.

Yep, bought my Einstein signed photo from a reputable dealer AND authenticated and encapsulated by PSA DNA as authentic. Did I pay more? Probably. Do I have doubt. No.

I have always valued your opinion on space authenticity, and your input in general over the years, Steve. If I was getting anything space-related authenticated, I'd certainly choose your services, or that of an established auction house (Sotheby's, Christies, etc.). I don't see the attraction of the likes of PSA, Beckett, JSA, or other graders that the market believes are paramount, as you never really know who you'll get, and are dealing with such volume that they cannot truly offer an accurate appraisal. Thank you for the upload, and I hope you're well. 👍

Great collection and very interesting. Thanks for sharing Steve

awesome collection, how much would you worth it?, great content Steve, please keep going, so rookies like me can learn more about this fantastic world of collecting

Thanks. You just saved me from purchasing an unbelievably cheap jersey.

My Grandfather worked for NASA and was friends with all of the most famous Astronauts. I have folders full of autographed official NASA lithographs from the Apollo and Gemini era including autographs. I also have slides. Even though I know they’re real and can prove my Grandfather’s employment with NASA I would still like to have them authenticated before selling them. How do I go about this? Thanks so much!

I have a Lithography of Jim Irwin signed by Him personally Whats is it worth .

👍👍👍

An excellent booklet!💯👍

Hello! Thank you, it was very interesting! I am from Russia, Saint Petersburg. In the 80s and 90s, I was very interested in the history of the development of the space programs of the USSR and the USA. I have a lot of books, stamps, and newspapers from the first decade of the space age in my collection. In particular, there are many articles from Soviet newspapers about all the flights under the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. In the mid-90s, I wrote letters about my passion to John Glenn, John Young, Neil Armstrong, Sally Ride and Norman Thagard, asking them to send me an autograph as a souvenir. To my great joy, they all personally replied to me. I sent all the letters to the Houston Flight Control Center. The photos sent back to me were all with text on the back and in NASA envelopes. I am very grateful to the unknown employee of the post office in Houston who forwarded my letter to John Glenn in Washington. John Glenn sent me a letter on paper with a watermark of the U.S. coat of arms and a large black-and-white autographed photo. By the way, the envelope was the official one of a U.S. senator. Neil Armstrong's autograph can be viewed on my channel. Eternal memory to the pioneers of space. Good luck!

great content steve, as always, please continue to upload videos with tips and advices while collecting space memorabillia, very useful to hear your experience for rookies like me!

Thank U so much Steve. Very cool historical book.

This is a Very important need to Learn in this Hobby.

“Hey friend, I need your help with something, please. I’m thinking of buying a football player autographed card, but the Beckett case says Beckett Witnessed. Does that mean the signature is authentic?”

Hillary and Michelle Obummer doing something unscrupulous? That's a shock.

If you are talking about the "Out or Safe" group, you are right. That is one of the worst groups out there.

Do you know of any reputable third-party authenticators specializing in horror and sci-fi?

haha, that makes sense. there was a seller who had 14 steph curry autograpthed jerseys, and they flashed the Cert, but wouldnt let anyone see it. so i sat back and watched people snatch them up at really low prices. im no expert, but i can pick up on red flags. if its too good to be true, then its probably best to pass it up.

Great video. I'm just starting to collect signatures for my own personal hobby and your KZfaq videos are very informative First thing in the agenda, is it legitimate or produced in numbers. Unless that darn signature is expensive I'm sticking to authentic signed pen signatures

This makes me so happy. I have a Beckett authenticated Chester Bennington vinyl album (Recharged), and a JSA authenticated Amy Lee vinyl album (Fallen). Both first pressings in color.

Enjoyed the clip. I am a big fan of space and space related memorabilia. I just got back from PSA all my Apollo 8,11, and other astronaut autos. With 5 Armstrong as my favorite. In my collection, I have three Apollo 11 crew autographed envelopes. How can I tell if any of them are insurance covers or not?

Hi Steve, I'll ask the question nobody has asked about this video (albeit 2 years later)... Were all the items authentic (particularly that Apollo 11 cover)? Thanks in advance. 👍

Instead of sending fake autographs - why don't a letter that most celebrities don't have time to sign autographs?

Can I send you a picture or a story on our find at a thrift shop

Steve, I think you're missing the entire point of OOS. It's a quick opinion service, its not perfect, they're giving a base opinion that even they say IS NOT REFLECTIVE OF TPA. They literally say that! Start your own group if you don't like it, and nobody really cares what you think. If you cannot read the rules and get the basic idea of why these things exist, then you are insanely misguided.

What’s your opinion on autographs with authentication from “fanatics”

What exactly is a promo autographed photo reprint?

now thaaat's an intro ♡ ! My thumb up 😁👍🏻 and thanks for the video

I have celebrity Autographs from my 20 years of traveling as a flight. Non have photos. They are signed in my personal flight logbook or on the serving tray (8"x10") doilies. Example: Jerry Lewis, Peter Faulk, John Amos, Graham Kerr, and many others. Is there a market for a collection like I have?

I have obtained every single autograph by the signer in person.

How can you I spot or recognize fake authentications. I’ve seen sellers who seem to have nothing but Beckett or nothing but JSA. As soon as you watch list the item, the seller offers a discount which is odd.

In the WW2 memorabilia collection world, there's an ongoing discussion about the signing of formal Knight's Cross award documents. Some of these very high quality parchment documents were signed personally by Adolf Hitler by an ever worsening trembling hand with a decreasing overall size of the signature towards the end in 1945. Now, some of these documents show a perfect 1930ies style Hitler signature until the end of the war and many collectors and dealers say it's an autopen! There are however 3 postwar reports by German officers who met a calligrapher of the Reichsdruckerei working at the Führerbunker signing these documents on behalf of Hitler. Nontheless, some collectors and authors continue to this very day to say that the documents with the perfect, seemingly always identical signature were signed by an autopen machine. Until now, at least in the field of German ww2 memorabilia, noone has been able to prove the existence of an autopen machine in use at the Reich Chancellery at the end of the 1930ies/beg. 1940. Btw, there's absolutely no "quivering" in the A.H. signatures (on the documents 1939-1945. Is the existence of an autopen machine from the late 1930ies/early 1940ies possibly proven?

I just found your channel today. Not sure how you only have 435 Subs. Your videos look good and you have some great knowledge for the people that aren't experts in autographs. I have been collecting autographs since 1981. I just subbed keep up the great work!

Sorry I know it’s not really related to this video. But was wondering if you have ever used galaxycon, celebrity authictics, or twin cites comics? Are they all legit? Also was windy how reliable swau/Beckett online/quick authentication is? I purchased some items from galaxycon and swau and Beckett said they weren’t real. Jsa told me they were. Again this was though submitted pictures and on through the mail

Is that a autographs baseball bat in that case 🚜🚜🚜🚜

Sometimes u can get lucky someone don't know what they're selling its happened to me depends on item too🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

Great video Steve. Really digging your channel.
