I often get doubles of items signed and I either give them away as contest prizes on my website or sell and put the proceeds towards one of my charities

Funny thing is, artists have told me directly themself that autos are more valuable without personalization. Kinda ironic, you think? Also, I often get doubles of items signed and I either give them away as contest prizes on my website or sell and put the proceeds towards one of my charities. So in closing, before making harsh statements, know the facts.

Ofcourse they're more valuable without personalization... More people can buy an autograph that isn't personalized
It's the logic of economics...
Say your name is Steve for example, then you probably don't want an autograph with 'To Gerty' on it...
So a personalized autograph is worth less because less people will want to buy the autograph

I know you've purchased some autographs and have offered to buy things out as I've seen your posts. Just remember that if no one sells no one can buy.

Yes i purchased one selena gomez autograph because it was authentic and the person selling it lived locally and it was a promo picture i didnt have already but i dont agree with selling autographs and that is the only one i ever purchased and i wont ever sell it now so its in good hands.So i stand by what i said.
