Cpt. Caveman's TTM Autographs #80

-
Welcome back to another weekly TTM success post. I hope everyone had a great graphing week. Gene Cernan the commander of Apollo 17 and the last astronaut to step on the Lunar surface passed away this week at the age of 82 and we also lost actor Miguel Ferrer this week at the age of 61. I get alot of questions from newer collectors asking about the authenticity of an autograph they want to buy or trade for. Im always willing to help when i can and if not I try to point them in the right direction to find someone who can help. I hate to see people getting ripped off by purchasing horrible fake autographs so here's a few things to keep in mind before you purchase. Take your time and don't rush into the deal. Do your homework and research the signature, the signer, the item that's signed and most importantly the seller. This is a step I see alot of newer collectors skip. If you're looking on Ebay see what else the seller has to offer. Is this someone that has a seemingly unlimited supply of rare autographs for prices that are just to good to be true? If the deal just seems to good to be true then chances are you're getting scammed. Don't be afraid to ask questions before you buy. When, where and how the autograph was obtained are all good questions to start with. Does the seller have a good rating and reputation? If it's a seller that's in a group like the many Facebook autograph groups that are out there ask the other members of the group if they have ever dealt with the seller. This is just a few things you can do to help avoid the many fakes for sale out there. I recommend doing this even if the autographs already been authenticated by PSA or JSA or another 3rd party authenticator because everyone can make mistakes and I just always feel better having done all my homework and research before I purchase an autograph. Now on to this weeks TTM successes. Friday brought the first and only return of the week when after just over two months we received both pictures back signed from Seth MacFarlane. We're huge fans of "Family Guy" and "American Dad" so it's super cool to finally get a full signature reply from Seth and he even sent an extra signed thank you note. That's it for this week. Everyone have a great graphing weekend and ill be back next week with more TTM autographs and addresses and don't forget you have until February 2nd 2017 to enter the autograph giveaway contest.
