America's Best Autograph Auctions

By Jerry J. Jansen On March 8, 2010 Under Digital Photography

America’s best autograph auctions provide great opportunities for buying and selling autographs.  Autograph collectors may acquire preciously rare items that would otherwise be nearly impossible to obtain.  Autograph sellers are fortunate to have a wide variety of top-notch auctioneers to choose from. 

The autograph auction business is highly competitive.  Even though there is a wide variety of autographed memorabilia, the number of collectors is growing and just as importantly, the number of collectors willing and able to spend large sums of money to acquire choice items are also growing.  As a result, there is a proliferation of autograph auction houses that are happy to receive your consignments and eager to sell them for hefty profits. 

When consigning an autograph for auction, consider reputation and experience.  Some auction companies have become bankrupt while holding consignments.  Just like holding shares of stock in a bankrupt company, consignors have lost their autographed memorabilia in similar scenarios. 

Companies such as Alexander Autographs (Connecticut), East Coast Books (Maine), ebay (San Jose), Heritage (Dallas, Texas), Nate’s Autographs (Los Angeles), Profiles in History (Los Angeles), and Sotheby’s (New York) are stable auctioneers that have been in business for many years.  These auctioneers are highly regarded among autograph buyers and sellers.  However, this alphabetical list of auctioneers is by no means exhaustive, and there are many other reputable auctioneers that offer authentic material. 

Collectors have been burned dealing with auctioneers having a history of lawsuits and companies that favor certain bidders.  Public records reveal that certain auctioneers (RRAuction) have been sued for autograph fraud in federal court.  In several cases the Attorney General of the auctioneer’s State of operations have received complaints about irregular auction practices.  A brief search of legal records on the Internet and websites that provide general autograph collecting information can help you identify and avoid certain auctioneers. 

With the proliferation of autograph auction companies, collectors have greater discretion when it comes to buying and selling autographs.  America’s best autograph auctions can provide great opportunities for savvy collectors.
