This is the best way of getting a legit signature. You are getting it right from the person signing it.

COA's are the biggest scam in the hobby. Unless you are dealing with a reputable person the COA means nothing.

She has always been authentic for a fee. Years ago it was $2. Not sure what she charges now.

Authentic. She loves her fans and answers her own mail.

Thanks. I think this will help all of us.

That postage should be fine. The forever stamps are good for one ounce postage (a regular letter) at whatever the current rate is. They will always be good even if the postage price goes up since you bought them. They are a god-send for us autograph collectors.

Before you send anything of sentimental value through the mail. Write to the person and ask if they would sign it. If they agree, then send it at your own risk. There is always a chance of it getting lost or damaged.

I generally send 1 IRC when asking for index cards to be signed and 3 when I send a photo.

A couple of ideas to make things better...

How about a way to log in from the home page?

Also, how about a way for people to submit an ebay auction and see what others think about the authenticity of the item before bidding. Too many collectors get burned from Ebay by buying fake autographs.
