How To Spot A Fake Celebrity Autograph
by Allan Marsh
Celebrity autographs are not only fun to collect but they can also serve as great investments to add to any portfolio. If you would rather purchase them somewhere, take note of these following tips in order to avoid getting fooled by a second-rate fake.
Recognizing fake autographs is almost a black art. After all, celebrities and other famous people regularly change their signatures. There are easy ways to spot a fake, such as verifying the spelling. Often, the imposters will incorrectly spell celebrity names and these are easy to spot. Another simple technique is checking the material's age. You can easily check the age of the material, for example, if you spot laser-printed photos with signature included, supposedly belonging to older celebrities - these are obviously phony since this technology didn't exist in the older days.
Since the life of a celebrity is a busy one, they often ask their assistants to do the signing, and these autographs are called "secretarials". Don't make the mistake of paying big money for these autographs - they would usually come in bulk, printed on 8x10 photos. Don't invest your money on these secretarial autographs, and be careful whenever you encounter a celebrity autograph set that comes in bulk photos - this is a telltale sign of a secretarial.
It is quite a good way to make money if you want to sell your celebrity autographs - one tip is to be familiar with the celeb's lifestyle. For example, James Dean not only died at a young age, but he is known to have led a controversial lifestyle. The age that the celebrity passed away can play a significant part in how much their autograph is worth. Other examples of these celebrities would be Bruce Lee, or Marilyn Monroe. These are the types of autographs that could help you earn big cash.
More up to date celebrities can also turn a quick profit if the celebrity has been in or continues to be headline makers. Think along the lines of Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. Sports celebrities are no different. Consider athletes like David Beckham, who is one of the world's top soccer players, but also someone with a famous wife - the artist formerly known as Posh Spice.
Always guard against the fraud potential of the next celebrity autograph you purchase. You can make a lot of money out of this hobby or enhance your portfolio if you use logic to spot the fakes and good business sense to sell the legit ones.
