Re: [MOPO] Barbra Streisand info needed

[Kevin Conway]

The only problem is 95% of Streisand autographed photos are secretarial.  One of ther ex-employees confirmed she will sign about 1 out of about 1000 maik autograh requests. That was about 10 years ago, not sure if she signs anything herself anymore.  COA;s are worthless unless they come from a reputable dealer that will gaurantee the authenticity for life.    The best you can do to "almost" certainty of it's authenticity is to be certified by the TWO recognized "Reputable" autograph authentication services, PSA or JSA.   Here's s hint. Watch all the eBay auction.  Most of the ebay signed photos will sell for about $50-100, but if you see a PSA autographed photo it will gofor 4-5 times that.   It is estimated 90% of ALL autogroahs on eBay are fake and about 99% for the high end pieces like Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Sinatra, John Wayne, etc.  SOmeone posted a John Wayne autographed photo on eBay in THIS forum .  When I went to look at it , it had already been removed by eBay for not being authentic.  This was because someone must have submitted to PSA Quick opinion which if it fails, eBay will remove it. -----Original Message----- From: Diana and/or Morris Everett Jr Sent: Nov 22, 2009 11:09 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: [MOPO] Barbra Streisand info needed Hey all.. Need advice.  We are going to donate an elegantly framed autographed color portrait of Barbra Streisand to our granddaughter's school benefit auction.  The photo is accompanied by a COA.   The framing is very high end, with gorgeous triple matting.  We have a pretty good idea of the cost of the framing.  What would the color autographed photo with COA be worth?  This will help them determine where to start the bidding.  Thanks, Diana ...and Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!
