September 3[edit]

What are some good websites to buy personalized autographs from celebrties?[edit]

I know a few websites where people can buy personalized autographs: https://swau.com/, https://officialpix.com/, https://galaxycon.com/, https://www.colorworldlive.com/ and https://streamily.com/. If anyone here can name other websites that would be great. I'm a autograph collector. Cameo.com doesn't count because celebrities don't sign autographs on that website. 2001:569:7D9A:1300:CC61:74B8:108:1C91 (talk) 04:42, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How can you be sure they're genuine? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 07:08, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This entire commercial space is rife with fraud and misrepresentation. You must complete the sort of rigorous due diligence that Wikipedia editors are completely unprepared to offer. The shocking suicide of prominent sports memorabilia dealer Duane Garret is a cautionary tale. Be very, very careful is all the advice that we can offer.

I've ordered autographs from galaxycon and streamily before. I have a autograph coming in the mail right now from officialpix. 2001:569:7D9A:1300:59C6:B0C1:2F51:C0C5 (talk) 17:17, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Again, how do you know they're genuine? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:29, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because I have autographs from Galaxycon and Streamily. And Galaxycon does videochats with celebrities that I have done with before. 2001:569:7D9A:1300:5C69:15C0:B019:F51C (talk) 23:52, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, how do you know the autographs are genuine? Were you in the room when he signed it and gave it to you? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:41, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You really can't trust any of these websites unless maybe you contact the celebrity directly themselves maybe through their manager or publicist? Consider getting a free trial to IMDB Pro to get celebrity contact information. InvadingInvader (talk) 02:05, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As this book about collecting autographs says, "Remember this well, as the autograph hobby is infested with fraud, forgery, and crime. Of all popular collectables, autographs are the easiest to fake." Cullen328 (talk) 03:20, 4 September 2022 (UTC

I guess I don't know for sure.
