Never. I never buy any autographs anywhere, anytime. The only exception is when I buy an autographed baseball card. The card has to be certified by the card company or I won't buy it. As for signed photos on ebay or from a dealer, I wouldn't buy any. I don't care if it comes with a COA or not. You just can't trust the COA's. Let's say somebody is trying to sell a [b]forged [/b]version of the late Peter Jennings' autograph. That person will instantly print off a COA from their computer. My advise is that if you want to buy an auto, make sure it is certified by a reputable person, agency, or company. I also agree that it does take the fun out of actually writing to the celeb. Because if you just buy one, then you know that the celeb never actually read anything that you sent them. It just doesn't feel the same looking at a "Store Bought" autograph and then looking at one you got through the mail or in person.
