Autographed Guitars: Avoid Professional Forgeries
For all of the authentic autographed guitars in the world, there are probably two or three times as many fakes out there. It's very difficult to prove the legitimacy of any signature, and with so many people making a living off of fake collectibles, many wonder how they'll ever really know if their item is legitimate or not.
There are very few professional memorabilia experts with exemplar signature(s) experience out there that are pushing to eliminate the world of forgery autographs, but on the other hand they are competing against people that have spent countless hours perfecting a fake signature.
From my experience collecting autographs, autographed guitars are by far the hardest to obtain, because the value is so much more than an album or a poster. The artists know when signing a guitar it creates a great value and sometimes they don't like signing them, because you are making money off them.
Authentic autographed guitars do exist, if you know where to find them with proper research. About 75% of autographs found online are not real. These forgeries are sold by people that call themselves professional dealers, but meanwhile they are complete scam artists with no credentials of professionalism in the autograph industry.
Many memorabilia dealers and collectors are banding together in an attempt to stop the people who are succeeding without consequence at selling this fake material. However, the fraud artists do still exist, and will continue as long as they are profiting from their scams.
Too many people get overexcited when they find autographed guitars with their favorite band's signatures on it. Then they often don't take the necessary steps to determine the validity of the item they're purchasing; they just take the seller's word for it and spend money on something that might be fake.
If you're interested in buying autographed guitars, you need to ensure that you are purchasing them from reputable dealers or sellers, and that the product you're getting is authentic. If you're not certain, don't invest the money.
When it comes to buying signed memorabilia, you shouldn't spend thousands of dollars on a guitar or any other autographed memorabilia unless you're 100% sure that it's worth the investment. Authenticity is key when it comes to collecting autographed guitars. With all the scam artists and forgeries out there, you can never be too careful when checking out the validity of signatures on collectible memorabilia. All the Best Mark Turgeon - 2361
