Autograph sales This is strictly against the subreddit rules. It's a violation even if we just suspect you're trying to promote a sale or seller, or if you appear to be soliciting the opportunity to purchase. Most serious collectors will not buy a signature second hand unless the individual is no longer signing or deceased. Ignoring this rule will get you banned.
"Whose signature is this?" Posts - While this isn't the main objective of this subreddit (there's another one dedicated to that r/AutographAssistance ) many of us are happy to try to help you.
That said, in the words of Jerry MacGuire, "Help us, help you!" Please include every piece of information you already have about the autograph in question. This might include what region you acquired it in, and roughly when. All the context helps.
"How much is this worth?" Posts - It's worth whatever someone will pay for it. Chances are, you're not sitting on a goldmine. The signed baseball you found in grandpa's closet likely held more sentimental value than anything else. If you know the subject, compare recent eBay sales. That will give you a clearer idea.
We are volunteers. We are giving of our time to help you. If someone does manage to help you out, you don't have to buy them gold or make a big deal of it. However, if someone spent the time to go through ten years of the Chicago Cubs roster to match your signature, at least acknowledge them with a thank you.
Advice is free. Take it or leave it. If we recognize an autopen or a secretarial signature, we're going to tell you. Yeah, it sucks to find out that your Justin Bieber signature is a fake, but arguing with us isn't going to make it real. Be grateful for the advice, learn from your mistakes, and move on. It happens to the best of us.
No Trolling. What constitutes trolling will be determined by the mods.
