| I would also tend to think, unfortunately, in this day and age, that purchased signatures may not be real. Autographs from a former era may be real - but how do you know for sure that current stars' autographs aren't just mass-produced? In some cases, even forged? I have one such item. A toilet paper roll signed by the original cast of Urinetown. I do recognize some of the signatures. But I really bought it (on Ebay) because it just seemed like such a fun/funny thing to own. It wasn't really about the signatures themselves - it was the whole idea of that being a zany bit of show merchandise. (I also have 2 Urinetown shot glasses - not signed lol - for the same reason. They're just kinda fun to own.) I don't know if those are still available on Ebay. But I do know that someone was indeed selling them en masse at the time. I can guarantee you what I have is a "copy of a copy of a copy of Dior," assembled only by the guy on Ebay, and that the cast members never got near the item I bought. Again, no biggie, because for me the signatures weren't in of themselves the reason for the purchase. But technically I would think the toilet paper roll itself is worth more than the paper cover with the signatures. But it does prompt the question - if the star(s) in question most likely didn't actually sign the item you're purchasing, what's the significance of the signature, legible or not? Is it still so important to you even if you're getting the autograph via Xerox, lol? Caveat emptor... |
