How to find the best autograph

By Steve Brian


Through the years Over the internet it very helpful inside my search for celebrity autographs to go to memorabilia shows and conventions. There are lots of shows over the UK and it is really worth a trip in case you are selling autographs or buying autographs to consider a weekend out and go to a show or autograph convention.

In November I am planning to the Memorabilia show with the N. E. C. in Birmingham. The reason why for my visit is usually to collect sporting memorabilia, namely golf memorabilia, tennis memorabilia also to increase my number of historical autographs. Merely have it pay remaining after my seek out the I will probably spend it on vintage autographs as there are lots of renowned dealers of extremely high standing around this show.

Collecting autographs on your own doorstep needs to be one of the better things I am able to imagine, normally Need to travel no less than 150 -200 miles to acquire an autograph opportunity, but during this period on the year while using run approximately Christmas I am able to just about stay in the home and collect music memorabilia, actor autographs, actresses autographs and sport autographs. Why? Because looking for the Panto season, groups and bands touring plus the occasional indoor sports event in Aberdeen, about the single thing I hate regarding this time on the year could be the weather. So yesterday I took to my sleigh(looking for had a great deal of snow! )#) and fought my way through several blizzards to reach with the AECC stage door just soon enough to view JLS end up the stage door, I managed to get out my items and hoped the next wind storm examine slide them off signing. Luckily I managed to get a signed photo of the guys and autographed albums. I've been very successful in recent times with the AECC stage door collecting; tennis memorabilia, signed music memorabilia, boxing memorabilia, football memorabilia and a number of collectible memorabilia.

They have an extremely collector friendly stage door with that same door We have collected music autographs, (Bill Wyman being the very best) Comedy autographs, (Billy Connolly). Through the years We have collected many hand signed autographs, autographed photos, signed memorabilia as well as collected autographed posters, but only within the summer because they often get soaked and ruined in winter season. The 3rd venue in Aberdeen is His Majesty's Theatre where through the years there were some very notable acts appearing, in 1952 Laurel and Hardy appeared on stage, unfortunately which was 6 years before I had been born! Not just that famous duo but many famous actors have graced the stage, I had been luckily enough to become in the stage door when Patrick Stewart was performing and he was gracious enough to sign star trek memorabilia, by means of several signed photos, a signed star trek poster, and many star trek collectables. There is also music concerts there and that i have collected several music autographs from

Robert Cray, Steel eye Span and Tony Christie. It is definitely strange but should you keep ear on the ground you may pick-up a number of celebrity autographs near where you live even when you don't time in a sizable city. I possess collected an Alex Ferguson autograph, and Eric Cantona autograph plus a Helen Mirren autograph simply by knowing the fact that was occurring from the City. Many years ago I had fashioned my best week autograph collecting in Aberdeen when our city hosted The Senior Open Championship at Royal Aberdeen Club set, I collected 38 Golf Autographs, including several components of Golf memorabilia, a signed shirt plus a signed golf glove autograph.

One of the most collectable of autograph items are Star Wars autographs, followed closely by Star Trek collectibles and Star Wars memorabilia, however some Star Trek autographed items have fetched extremely high prices at autograph auctions. For anyone who is a collector of Sci-Fi memorabilia then it could be worthy of your while going to a couple conventions. Although nearly all of these conventions possess been in the U. S. there are many in england which you could browse Star Wars collectables, Star Trek collectables and Lord on the Rings

collectables. These are usually within the London area and also the shows look after memorabilia lovers and the one who collects an occasional call personally signed autograph. Warp 10 may be the convention for Star Trek fans, actually I indexed some cool Star Trek posters from the dealer recently that is attending that convention. I myself possess a large choice of Star Trek autographs, which most have fallen from these shows.

Going the 1st show I took my daughter to last 2003, it absolutely was London Film and Comic show where she collected a Star Wars autograph, several components of Star wars merchandise and three Lord in the Rings posters all of these she still has even today. Together with the Star Wars signed photos we collected some Stargate memorabilia and Lord in the Rings signed photos. When you attend these conventions there exists generally a star from your show signing autographs in fact it is a superior way to get genuine autographs and memorabilia and never have to bother about forgeries or counterfeit memorabilia. Several autograph dealers head to these shows to offer their Star Trek merchandise or their Lord in the Rings autographs, should you be buying items from these dealers please cause them to UACC registered dealers or AFTAL approved dealers as you do have a comeback if you do not be pleased with the Sci-Fi autographs or autographed photo.

Dr Who conventions are usually held from coast to coast and in November they may be holding one up in Newcastle from November 12th - 14th (inclusive). Offered at this convention is going to be Dr Who autographs, Dr Who memorabilia and Dr Who merchandise. In case you are a fan from the Doctor this appears like essential, you may also meet a number of the cast from previous seasons and obtain Dr Who signed photos and cast signed autographs. This November I'll be likely to the NEC towards the Memorabilia show within the 20th and 21st of November to gather some boxing memorabilia and autographed photos.
