Autograph Authentication and Valuation Services
Wall Of Fame Autographs Australia offers a Authentication and Valuation service. Please read below for all the details.
Before I can get started the first thing I need is a copy of the item you would like Authenticated and/or Valued as we can not do anything without it.
The second item required is a statement (written by you) of how the item was obtained. For example, you may have got it from an accredited Autograph Dealer, Antique Dealer, record store, In-Person or through the mail. If the item was autographed in-person, a photo of the person signing the item is the best form of authentication. The photo must be a clear shot of the celebrity and the item being signed. The date of the event is helpful too.
If you already hold a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for an item that was obtained from a Dealer we will require a copy of that also. This will provide us with some background to it's province.
Valuation only will take approximately one week. Authentication may take longer as we may need to email copies to associates around the world to assist, if it is a signature we are not familiar with.
Q. Why is being a U.A.C.C. Registered Dealer so special?
A. Registered Dealers, are people who know the subject and have been collecting themselves for many years. To become a Registered Dealer you must have been a general member for at least 3 years before you can apply to be a Registered Dealer. Registered Dealers network and are always exchanging pertinent information. These dealers are aware of the influx of recent forgeries of some of the key names in this exploding field. The U.A.C.C. has a strict "Code of Ethics" that everyone must abide by or face being expelled or in some cases imprisoned! Feel safe in the knowledge when you are buy from a U.A.C.C. Registered Dealer you get a genuine piece of history. This guarantee you get is worth every cent. After all, if you needed some electrical work done, wouldn’t you only use a Registered Electrician?
Q. How do I know your autographs are "real"?
A. Wall Of Fame Autographs is a Registered Dealer with the U.A.C.C. (number RD117) and they have a strict code of ethics that we must abide by. Part of this code is the code is that we will only ever buy and sell items that are authentic, genuine, original. If the items are not signed In-Person they are bought only from other Registered Dealers who do get them In-Person. We go to great lengths to ensure that all of our autographs are "real" and that our customers are protected from fakes and frauds. All our pieces come with their own Certificate Of Authenticity (COA).
Q. Does getting a COA give me a lifetime guarantee?
A. There are things to be said about getting a COA. Almost everyone who sells autographs supplies a COA. This does not automatically mean that the autograph is "real" or that you will have any kind of guarantee (even though it says you will on the COA). I personally believe that a COA is worth nothing, but customers seem to like them, so I issue them. It is the person or the dealer behind the COA that is worth something. A Registered Dealer can give you a guarantee that it is authentic as most items are signed in front of them or bought from other Registered Dealers. In our case, it is easy to supply a lifetime guarantee as you will never need to use it (because all items are the original).
Q. Why should I buy an autograph from you when I can get it on EBay for a third of the cost?
A. From getting your item in person for free to Bill Gates paying $30.4 million for Leonardo De Vinci's 72 page, hand written manuscript, the prices can vary immensely. "Why should I buy a Tom Cruise off you for $150 when EBay has one for $20" for example. If you are getting an autograph for that price there must be a reason. 1) it's most likely a pre-print - a reproduction of the original, 2) an autopen - not real but a robotic copy none the less, 3) a secretarial - signed by the celebrities secretaries etc. then mailed back to the fans, 4) a forgery - when a person has attempted to mimic their autograph, 5) a fake - someone who has no idea what it looks like and has just scribbled anything. There is a saying that I like to remember "Internet Auctions - where crooks and uneducated sellers find uneducated buyers". If it seems to good to be true it usually is.
Q. You don't have what I'm looking for can you find something for me?
A. Yes, just go to our Star Search page and fill in the form.
Q. What should I buy/collect for a good investment?
A. Let me start off by saying whether it is for investment or not, you should always buy what you like. What's the point of buying something if every time you walk past it you wonder how much it is worth. You should walk past it and be glad you are lucky enough to own something that fabulous. Most autographs go up in value as the years tick by e.g. The Beatles and Elvis double in value roughly every 5 years and when Neil Armstrong passes away it will be one of histories most sort after autographs. Some however start out high and then you can't give them away e.g. Billy Ray Cyrus (Achy Breaky Heart, come on, you remember him, admit it!). Buy classics - Astronauts, Cosmonauts, The Beatles, and Elvis. Imagine if you had acquired an Elvis autograph when he was still alive! Space autographs in particular is a very interesting and under collected area. This is mainly due to many dealers lack of knowledge in this area. We have only had 12 men walk on the moon and maybe no more in this lifetime. If one was to have a full collection of these, not only would it be worth a great deal of money but worth a great deal in history. As a last word, buy the "classics" as well as the fads and you will have one mean collection of history.
Q. Why are different pieces signed by the same person different prices?
A. There are a few reasons for this but the main ones are 1) the item that is signed. For example a signed photo of Christopher Reeves as 'Superman' is worth more than a standard 'head shot'. Or a signed 'cape' from Superman will fetch more than a signed First Day Cover. 2) Dedication or what was written. Sometimes a personal dedication can actually bring the monetary value down, i.e. "To John, Best Wishes, Christopher Reeves". It means a great deal to you but not to the average person wanting his autograph. If he had written "Best Wishes, From the Man Of Steal, Christopher Reeves", this would be worth a great deal more than just the signature. 3) The condition of the item is very important. You may have a fabulous 8x10 signed colour photo but it may be a bit scratched and dog eared. Or maybe it was stored incorrectly and acids have began to fade it or 'eat away' the item. Condition plays a big role. This brings me to the next question.
Q. How should I care for my Autographs?
A. Follow a few simple guidelines and you will be enjoying your treasures for many years to come. Do NOT sticky tape any item to hold it in place. The acids in the tape will eventually 'eat through' your item and it is essentially wrecked. Store them in a place that is not in any direct sunlight as this will fade the piece. You can keep them in an album or in those clear leaf pages but make sure they are acid free. You can also frame them under glass to put on the wall. But one of the best way is 3D matting them under glass to hang on the wall. This way the item is not in direct contact with the glass and has some air circulation. Take it down now and then to give it a bit of a dust and clean up and it will stay perfect for generations.
Q. What is Australias' and the Worlds' most collectible Autographs?
A. Celebrities become collectible for a number of reasons for example, they are long deceased, they have just had a 'shock' death, they are reluctant or reclusive signers, or a massive surge or constant in popularity. These are Australias' most collectible - INXS - front man the late Michael Hutchence, AC/DC, Olivia Newton-John, John Farnham, Dame Joan Sutherland, Kylie, Mel Gibson, Russell Crowe (very difficult signer), Kerry Packer (another VERY difficult signer), Greg Norman, Steve Waugh and of course Sir Donald Bradman. As for the World, I could be here forever but the some of the top items are Elvis, The Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Jimi, Hendrix, The Doors, Alfred Hitchcock, Sean Connery, Barbara Streisand, JFK Snr and Jnr, Walt Disney, Einstein, Micheal Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Neil Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando (Very difficult signer) Elisabeth Taylor, Prince Charles (both of these extremely difficult signers) and of course, Princess Diana.
Q. What are the rarest Autographs?
A. Aside from some of the above listed who will become rarer when they pass away, William Shakespeare. There is only 6 known examples of his autograph. No known examples of Christopher Columbus and Cleopatra's has only just been discovered.
