Autograph World Help

[autocollector23]

Can someone please tell me what the difference is between original, catalog, signed sig pieces etc. on Autograph World? Where do they come from? I have heard that there have been fakes in the signed sig pieces; however, the original ones were safer to buy from, but what's the difference? Thank you for your help.

From what I understand the Value & Original / Catalog auctions are all authentic that the AW workers have gotten. The sig pieces, some items are authentic but other times they are not. Those are the items that people sell to Autograph World. The Value auctions are just items that are a bit damaged sometimes and index cards. =)

Okay, thank you. I thought it was something like that. And I know Autograph World is taking consignments, but I wanted to stay away from those...I guess if I purchase I will stick to original and catalog auctions. Thanks for your help

Thats what I do! Although I have found a few things I'd like to purchase in the sig auctions but if you do I would do your research first. From also what I understand if you figure out that it's fake - AW will reimburse you as long as you can provide proof that it is. =)

From what I heard of the sig auctions is that 95% of the auto's are authentic...They try to check up on every sig they post, but sometimes a fake one slips through...
if you'r enot sure about it (like I was when I bought my Kristen Stewart autograph) send a mail to the owners of AutographWorld, they'll check it, and confirm it once more if its authentic

I've bought from them 4 times (2 times from the Value auctions, 1 time the original and 1 time the sig auctions) I love all of my autographs

Thanks for your help, both of you. I am debating between Autograph World and Top Pix.
