I found a hardcover copy of "The Fault in Our Stars" signed by John Green a few months ago for $16.

Picked this up at the Salvation Army store today. It matches a purchased one I have from his website.
Cost? $1.63

About two months ago I picked up signed Steve Allen and Dave Thomas books at a church book sale for about $7 for the pair. Went when the sale opened and noticed a box that said "signed books." Figured there wouldn't be any celebs, but sure enough there they were. Neither are really rare or anything, but cool to have!

I was at a thrift store a few months ago and saw a Rupert Grint picture in a frame on one of the shelves. My heart skipped a beat and I rushed back to it, thinking it might have been autographed, but it wasn't :oops: lol

A copy of "It's True It's True!" AUTOGRAPHED by Kurt Angle!

The only bad thing is it's personalized to "Ryan" lol. I could always just put a sticky note over top the name...lol.

I'm seriously happy/surprised/excited with this. Definitely not what I was expecting to find today.
Wow shocking fine tho I do love my in person I got earlier this year. Went to a book sale this morning tho I didn't find nothing signed tho I did find some books I have been looking for so I guess it was a win win anyway lol

I seen a copy of Vittorio: The Vampire by Anne Rice. Right away I bought it, because I love to read her books. When I got home I was surprised to see that she had actually signed it in purple ink! It's on a book plate sticker thingy. Anyway I thought it was super cool and for only 50 cents too!

Sorry it is a bit blurry, it's hard to scan pages in a book.
I have checked it against other signatures from her and it looks authentic to me! :mrgreen:
What do you think?

It looks fairly similiar to the authentic I got from her last year...
