The Newest networking site with a twist .

The New IADA-CC.COM will emerge as the autograph networking site of the future. The autograph industry has been stagnant for the past few years after bursting into a multi-million dollar industry. The industry being one of the rare businesses where your investment has the ability to sky rocket to amounts that top all other investment industries. The major difference between autographs and the major investment industries like stocks, bonds, coins, gold,etc is that they all rely on supply and demand, but the autograph industry has an exclusive factor which is uncontrollable, the unfortunate death of the celebrity signer. Who can’t say they don’t remember the passing of those legends like Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Mantle, John Lennon? This phenomenon has really showed up more recently with the deaths of Farrah Fawcett, Heath Ledger, and Michael Jackson. Autograph prices are reported to reach levels never imagined. Auctions houses are reporting sales that are 45 to 50 times the actual value. One newscaster reported, “Sales of Michael Jackson has reached Elvis Presley status”. Yes this has been the trend of late. Autograph collecting has turned into one of the best investments ever.

Along with monetary value increasing on autographs at record levels comes some negativity. Money sometimes brings the worse out in people. The simple photo, album, and even baseball becomes an opportunity for the ruthless to take advantage of the unknowing collector. The forgeries rise to record levels. This is something that can be controlled. With understanding, education, knowledge, and help from the some of the most renowned and respected autograph dealers in the industry, no longer does the collector have to fear the old adage “Buyer Beware”.

The IADA-CC’s President Mike Frost along with Rich Scott, Web site administrator are in the works at reinventing the wheel. Mike Frost and Rich Scott, pioneers of the autograph industry are recreating a Autograph Club built by Mike Frost back in the 1990’s Mike Frost had a vision before MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter developed into networking sites. The IADA-CC launched in 1997 where MySpace launched 2004. The original IADA-CC site had networking capability such’s a chat room, collectors forum, Dealer Directories, emails, member categories and much more The IADA-CC wanted to help promote an industry just growing, not knowing what it will become.

Today, the International Autograph Dealer Alliance and Collector Club (IADA-CC.Com) has hired a new Web Designer and Internet programmer that are on the verge of making Autograph history. No longer will it just be a club but a full range networking site. Twitter and Facebook move over, a new face with some old ideas will be joining the craze. “We will have the ability to educate and help those looking for research. No longer does a collector have to go in blind to sites such as, Ebay, Amazon, or the hundreds of auction sites available on the Internet. Our new site will be able to show exemplars, authenticate for those that need it. Introduce autograph studies from the experts in the industry and authors of handwriting analysis. A mixture of elite autograph dealers, advance collectors, the novice, and those that want to meet new interesting people will create one of the most sought after sites on the Internet. Learn, earn, and have fun” says Rich Scott, IADA-CC Admin.

The original site is still up and running and easy to view welcoming new members every day. The new site is going to launch within the week. Please take a look at the wonderful things the old site has to offer and imagine moving one of the first true social networking sites into the future. This will be the Mecca of the Autograph industry and a place to visit for all your autograph needs.

Michael Jackson fake autographs everywhere after death of the King of pop

Michael Frost head authenticator for P.A.A.S.  Professional Autograph Authentication Services and the President of the IADA-CC the International Autograph Dealer Alliance and Collectors Club was heard today in a half hour interview with National Public Radio. ” Buyers Beware” I have never in my 31 years in the autograph and memorabilia business seen anything of this magnitude ! Michael Frost said today that Michael Jackson’s death is having a greater effect on the value of autographs and memorabilia then the death of Mickey Mantle , Ronald Reagan, Princess Diane and the Pope combined. Frost said P.A.A.S. Professional Autograph Authentication Services has authenticated over 2000 Michael Jackson signed items in the past 5 days. More then 70% are not authentic. Michael Frost said he has even been called the King of Authentication over the amounts of items  he has viewed since the death of the King of Pop. Fake Michael Jackson autographs everywhere after death of the King of Pop.                                             www.iada-cc.com  News     Beware of fake Michael Jackson signed items throughout the industry.            Michael Jackson signed memorabilia and other artifacts have more then tripled in price and Forgeries are on the raise.The Internet is now bombarded with non authentic Michael Jackson signed items.  Well they can only go up in value and in many cases by huge amounts. Beware as 70% of Michael Jackson autographs on eBay are forged or printed signatures. There will be loads of people out there trying to make some fast money off of Michael Jackson’s valued signature. Michael Frost President of the IADA-CC and head authentictor for P.A.A.S.  in a interview with the media last night stated that eBay is well aware of this problem and he and others are helping to examine the items being offered as we speak. Mike Frost was examining eBay items last night until 3.45 am. Michael Frost stated that at  6.30 PM on Thursday June 25, 2009 there were 163 signed Michael Jackson signed items on eBay. Of the 163 signed items 15 were PSA/DNA certified, 89 were reprinted signatures 48 were 100% forgeries, and only 14 others were 100% authentic with the rest being questionable. By 11:35 PM there were 675 signed Michael Jackson signed items on eBay with over 70% being 100% fake.                   When purchasing a Michael Jackson autograph or any other signed item, the item should be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). COA’s are an important aspect in the process but buyers need to be careful. Anybody can issue a COA with an autograph item but this doesn’t mean that the item is 100% authentic. Who issues the COA is the most significant factor.The dealer standing behind this “guarantee’ should be reputable and offer a 100% lifetime guarantee as well as an invoice with their Name, Phone Number, Address and Website. You are always best purchasing from a IADA-CC or UACC Autograph Dealer. Do not make a mistake and buy a fake autograph,do your homework and ask a lot of question’s. Michael Jackson was a great person and a very good signer but ask where, when, and how the signature was obtained. If you are not sure, or you already own autographs and are not convinced that they are authentic? There are third party authentication services such as James Spence, P.A.A.S., Roger Epperson,and Al Wittnebert, that can examine your autographs and determine if they are 100% authentic. These authentication companies would then issue a Certificate of Authenticity. This Letter of Authenticity can help the buyer purchase with a little more confidence. Always trust your instincts. Autographs and Sports memorabilia are sold all over and a great percent are not authentic. Do not get fooled by the price. If the price of an item is too low to be true, it usually is. Try to always support the IADA-CC dealers they have solid reputations and you’ll have an enjoyable buying and collecting autographs.!

President Obama study, Is it real?

President Obama autograph study

“Is it Real?” continues it quest to allow the autograph collector to become more knowledgable. With knowledge comes understanding. This will allow the hobby to grow and become what it once was. The hobby for the young and old, fathers and sons, and the thousands that made it one of the largest industries in the world.

The making of a Obama autograph study

Once the man took the podium at the 2004 Demoratic National Convention as a canadate for senator of Illinois. Obama connected on a personal level with millions of Americans. He became a man with a destiny to the white house. Along with this came the interest of the autograph collector. At first, Obama would sign for as many people as possible. Then, it became overwhelming. There was not enought time in the day for him to sign. Telling the fans he did not have enough time and if they didn’t mind to wait until Obama could sign them after the event, his staff would take the items to a back room and give them back later. Some received the item back with an authentic signuture, but many did not. Obama’s staff often used an Autopen to sign the items for him. Autopens are commonly used by presidents and other politicians for official purposes and autograph requests by mail. A high percentage of autograph requests mailed to Obama’s Senate offices were sent back with a autopen signature, but his use of one on the campaign trail was a first.

Value brings greed

The value of a Barack Obama signature are in the hundreds, if not the thousands and continues to climb. He might possibly be the most saught after signature to date. With this news many of the forgeries have began to surface. Obama’s large signature is easy to copy, because it consists mostly of his initials. A survey conducted found that 85-percent of Obama autographs were likely forgeries, autopen or secreterial.
