Put our four decades of experience in buying and selling quality autographs to work for you. We can assist you in obtaining a single item or in developing an entire collection. Our inventory is varied and in all price ranges. If you do not see something please inquire!

DEALERS GENERALLY ADVISE collectors to buy what interests them and to buy the best possible. Nevertheless, as compared with more traditional forms of investment, many autographs have, consistently, outperformed the market. Just 40 years ago, the pre-eminent autograph dealer and author, Charles Hamilton, offered some spectacular autograph material at prices we will never see again. A few examples are worth repeating: Catherine the Great signed document for $25; Letter Signed by George Washington for $195; Marcel Proust letter $35; early signed Picasso etching $125; numerous papal bulls from the 16th Century for $25 each; four-page Florence Nightingale letter for $32.50; a Mormon archive of letters and documents revealing a plot to discredit a fomer wife of Brigham Young for an "astounding" $375.

Autographs make great gifts. They're an ideal way to remember that special person on a birthday, anniversary, graduation, retirement or other important occasion. Every item we sell is covered by a money-back guarantee of satisfaction and, when known, details of provenance.

We actively seek quality autographs in all fields. Whether you wish to sell, consign items to a future catalogue, or have your autographs appraised, please contact us for a prompt, confidential analysis.
