Is it just me?

Unread post by Jack.S »

Before I send anything to someone to sign I always check youtube to see if there are any videos of them signing autographs so I can see what their attitude is like when it comes to signing for fans.
On one of my many visits to Youtube I came across a channel called Toppixautographs. Toppix Autographs, incase you don't know are an online autograph dealership and they film most of their experiences with celebrities. I decided to watch a few of their videos to see what some certain celebrities were like IP and I was shocked, and quite angered to see the way these vultures pretend to be fans and pretty much demand the celeb to sign there item.
Now is it just me or do these kinds of people make anyone else feel sorry for the people how are actualy fans and are dissapointed when their item is not signed due to the celeb being harrassed by these obnoxious false people?

I feel the same, but I have bought a few off of them in the past because you just can't get them TTM.

It's the same with all dealers.. Watch the Mr.T episodes on their channel, he's stupidly funny going "Look, I know you're gonna sell these, but I don't give a sh*t" LOL! Funny as.

They are Vultures though.

I have nothing against people that buy from them, or any other dealer to be honest as I have done before, I just dislike the people working for them :lol: .

Yeah, I think it kind of harms the people who are there because they're fan's, not just because they're looking to sell them.

Yep, I feel the same basically. There are collectors who are just way too pushy and claim to be fans, and they ruin it for the real fans.

The John McEnroe video especialy annoys me as they claim he is using a trick to get out of signing when the chances are he was actualy busy. Also if you read the comments posted under the video people start insulting him and try to make him look like the bad guy just because he didn't sign for two people who were blatantly going to sell it {down}.

These people are just vultures and it does ruin it for alot of real fans and i think nobody should ever buy autographs from these vultures. At least when you write to alot of celebrities whos autographs arent worth alot of money you still have good chances because the vultures would never invest money and time in writing letters and buying stamps for autographs they cant sell for alot so the people you write to usually know your a actual fan.
