I dunno, I could be wrong, but I have a hard time finding these legit, here's some of the reasons why:

Here are 5 of the Samarie Armstrong autographs they have up for sale. Now I know that these were IP so signatures can be rushed or messed up, or people can change their signature, but I don't think that they change this much.

Here are 4 of the Rachel Bilson autographs that they have for sale. Now I know that IP Rachel signs "RB" not her entire name and there's one that's I guess supposed to be her entire name and the other three are "RB" and they don't even match each other and only one (the one with Adam Brody) looks close to other IP autographs I've seen of her.

Here are 5 of the Adam Brody autographs they are selling. Alright, now as stated with the Samarie Armstrong autographs, I know that IP can be slightly different from one another as the celeb is usually in a rush and so they don't look a lot similar, but these all look very different. The only ones that look the same are the ones with Rachel Bilson and Samarie Armstrong, those two look the same and I think were probably signed at the same time.

Here are 3 Lauren Conrad autographs they have. Now, these could be real, but there are differences (such as an extra loop in "Conrad" and such) but then again that could be the IP thing. They do have a lot of slight differences though.

Here are 2 Melissa Joan Hart autograph that they have. These two look completely different, yet again, as previously stated this could be the IP thing, you be the judge.

Here are 5 Paris Hilton autographs they have. Now these have almost no similarity at all. 4 have a swooping "P" but that's the only similarity I could find, and the last one is just a kind of "P" with a circle or something, I don't even know what to call the last one.

Here are 3 Nicole Richie autographs that they have. The 3 bear no similarity whatsoever. The only ones that are even remotely the same are the 1st and 3rd ones. The second one just looks like a mess and far too much to be an "IP" autograph.

I dunno, I have been collecting for a while now and I am a Mod, but there's a reason why my name isn't red. I'm not an expert and I don't claim to be, but this is just my opinion. Personally, with that many differences between autographs, I wouldn't touch them. But I could be wrong.

Personally i noticed simon cowell's to be a bit weird , but am not sure maybe andy or jason could check it out for us ? {thumb2}

[autocollector77]

yeah i noticed some differences with some of the autos on the site, that is why i posted here.
there are some that match up pretty well with authentics. i will stay clear until further notice.
thanks guys.

Personally, I would not go any where near the site. I have failed to find anything that looks convincing to me. There are a lot of sites out there who sells you fake autographs so be very careful if you do decide to buy from any of them.

Please post this in the "Is my autograph authentic" forum next time.
Thankyou,
Jason

I agree with Jason, I would stay away from that site. They might have a small % of authentic autographs but the majority looks fake to me.
