Rugby Legends Raper, Langlands and Gasnier Refuse Autographs 2008-04-17 21:06:00 ST. GEORGE Immortals are refusing to give random autographs because of bounty hunters "making a quick buck" from their signatures on eBay. Tired of profiteering pen-holders, legendary Dragons trio John Raper, Graeme Langlands and Reg Gasnier recently made a "commercial decision" to refrain from signing non-authorised memorabilia in the Centenary season.All three greats fronted the launch of the Dragons' heritage jersey on Tuesday night at St George Leagues Club, where members were told private items would not be autographed.The announcement sparked disappointment among some fans, who contacted The Daily Telegraph this week.Raper and Langlands yesterday confirmed they had been advised not to autograph items such as jerseys, books and caps that were not endorsed by the club or their manageme Read more:Autographs

Oskar Schindler Signed Photograph Up For Auction 2008-04-16 18:12:00 The last remaining autographed photo of holocaust hero OSKAR SCHINDLER is to be sold at auction.The German industrialist, made famous in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning Schindler's List, was responsible for saving 1,400 Jews from death during World War II.Schindler signed the photo in 1949 before giving it to a family he had taken in during the war. It currently belongs to Sholamit Vesengred, the son of two Holocaust survivors, who hopes to attract bids of up to $150,000 (GBP75,000) when the picture goes under the hammer later this year (08).And he has revealed he plans to get in contact with actor Liam Neeson - who played Schindler in the 1993 film - in the hope he'll join bidders and bump up the price.

Autograph Hunters Hit the Campaign Trail 2008-04-15 18:09:00 Along with adoring fans and reporters, presidential candidates hitting the campaign trail this year face an additional demand on their attention: autograph hounds.The autograph hunters, many of whom who post their quarry on eBay, lurk on rope lines, arrive early at campaign events, and dash up to candidates as they make the rounds among voters. Autograph
seekers also test the patience of the candidates' secret service guards, who reportedly get nervous at the site of someone reaching into a jacket to retrieve a pen.As the race drags on well into its second year and the candidates grow weary, it's gotten harder to score a John Hancock from, say, John McCain. "John McCain used to sign whatever you had. I once got eight things signed by him," eBay autograph dealer Christopher Purvis wrote in Read more:Campaign

Dodgers Drop Rule, Will Give All Autograph Seekers Access 2008-04-11 21:47:00 The Dodgers
, surrendering to the wishes of irate fans, announced today they have dropped a new rule and will allow all youngsters to seek autographs in Dodger Stadium in much the same way they have done for years.No comment yet from the rich kids, but now everyone in the stadium will be given the same opportunity to stand on the dirt strip at the end of the Dodgers dugout and be ignored by the players while trying to get an autograph.The Dodgers are still trying to keep the unwashed out of the field-level box seats, and in doing so have designated a taped-off area for autographs. On first glance, kids at the head of the line might have a better chance of getting an autograph than they did last year.The Dentist, the team's new PR guy, said a large number of fans provided "data," using the t Read more:Access

Dodger Blues: Team's New Autograph Policy Has Many Fans Steamed 2008-04-10 17:53:00 Check out this piece by Los Angeles Times columnist T.J. Simers. It could be a sign of things to come at other ballparks. The issue? A new rule denies fans access to the field box seat level before games to try and secure autographs at Dodger
Stadium -- unless of course, they have one of those pricey tickets.Most teams allow fans down near the field up from when the gates open until a certain point before the game starts (typically 30 minutes or less). After all, being in that area is about the only way to get an autograph inside the ballpark (unless you have Scotty to beam you into the dugout or some seriously long arms out in the outfield).I understand the team's concern -- its highest-paying ticket holders have some distractions if they get to the game early -- but it's just how it's be Read more:Autograph

May I Have Your Rather Valuable Autograph? 2008-04-08 21:34:00 Imagine being asked to sign an autograph or pose for a photograph by every person passing on the street. Now imagine one memento seeker who won't take no for an answer. That seems to have happened to Sen. Barack Obama last week, when a man with a camera tried in vain to stop the presidential hopeful in Philadelphia. Al Wittnebert, an elder statesman of the autograph business, saw video of the exchange. "I think Obama needs to get over himself," he says. "When you're in the public eye, especially running for office, you're supposed to kiss babies, pose for pictures. ... Whether [the fan] is selling it on eBay is irrelevant."The man in question allegedly sought a picture from Obama several times that day. The senator's campaign says the man was a professional autograph reseller attempting to Read more:Autograph

King Louis XVI Signed Document For Sale At Circa Savannah 2008-04-05 23:10:00 On January 20, 1793, the National Convention condemned Louis
XVI to death, his execution scheduled for the next day. Louis spent that evening saying goodbye to his wife and children. The following day dawned cold and wet. Louis arose at five. At eight o'clock a guard of 1,200 horsemen arrived to escort the former king on a two-hour carriage ride to his place of execution. In October of 1793, the Queen Marie-Antionette was brought to trial and found guilty of treason.This rare document, signed by the king as “Bon (good), Louis,” from February 7, 1790, authorizes a pension of 3,000 livres for Pajor de Marcheval.

Celebrity-Signed Baseballs Can Be A Real Hit At Auction 2008-04-23 17:51:00 Occasionally a customer will tell me they're going to meet a celebrity, and ask what they should bring with them if they have a chance to get an autograph. I recommend bringing an official baseball along. Celebrity
signed baseballs can be very valuable, even if that celebrity doesn't have anything to do with baseball.Baseball players are often asked to sign baseballs. There are old newsreels that show Babe Ruth sitting on a hotel balcony next to a few bushel barrels full of baseballs. There's a large crowd of people below the balcony. Ruth is signing the baseballs and tossing them out to the crowd.Current superstars such as Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter sign for companies like Topps, Upper Deck and Steiner Sports, in addition to signing for fans at the park.
