Noel Rholeder (sic?) played only one career game of VFL football for South Melbourne in the mid 20th century, but at 16yo, was - will forever remain (due to current recruiting laws limiting recruiting ages to 17 or 18yo so their bodies don't get hammered by men - their youngest ever player. Don't th...

For my "valuable" autographs on photos, if I want to frame them, I scan them at high resolution, re-print them and frame the re-print. So my original is still safe and sound, stored away from direct sunlight in an moisture free zip-locked bag (with desiccator packets) and the original is o...

no, moisture will form in the bag, and will ruin your autographs.

I put those little desiccator packs inside the zip-lock bags. You get usually get as many as you want from your local shoe store as they throw them out when they open new boxes of shoes.

Do many collectors get books signed? Instore signings are great (though we don't have too many where I live); I'm always too afraid to post a book through the mail for fear of not getting it back, so I usually send book plates to stick in the books.

Sweet looking posters! Great work! Prices seem very reasonable. At 5 hrs work that's really only $7 an hour.

Question though, if a buyer wants to print it themselves, are you able to email the image and receive the $15 payment by PayPal or direct deposit for your design efforts?

HEAPS! But my most recents are Jed Lamb and Stuart Magee

I'm sure eBay is full of fakes, pre-prints etc, but every now and then we find a gem (either one we always wanted, or a bargain price that is too good to refuse)

Any positive eBay autograph experiences to share?

Some people claim to get more back than they really do but in reality id say i get back maybe 20% of what i send out but i also dont send to easy people who are known for signing and i mostly do via venue. Good luck Good points. For my Aussie footy autos, 65% return. SW 50-60% but I have avoided th...

Jack Johnson is an awsome success Thanks. My partner had sent him a poster to sign a couple of years ago but never heard back. When he was in town for a concert I suggested maybe we try and meet him at the airport. There was only us and one other guy. Partner & I each got a photo signed and had...

Patience is the key with collecting IMO. The longest return time I've waited for was over 3 years (and this doesn't include any I've missed when I moved rental houses once a year for 4 or so years!). Even sending within my own country, my average wait time for the footballers is just under a month. ...
