Collecting Celebrities’ Signatures


                       
I would like to comment on autograph collections and manuscripts that show famous signatures.
                       
Content is a factor. Letters and manuscripts are worth more than signed photographs.
                       
And, apart from all-important rarity, originality is essential. You must be certain the signature is genuine,  that it’s signed by the famous person and not a secretary, or underling or by a machine.
                       
In this regard, provenance is a factor. How did the signature come about and can the source be trusted for proof of being genuine? (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
