Getting Autographs for almost nothing

Getting autographs through the mail can be fun but let's be honest the autographs may be autopenned, preprinted , secretarical signed or copies.However, if  people cannot wait for the 3+ months they can simply print them out from the internet.

The only authentic source I can thing of is "What's My Line?"  on youtube. The celebrities sign in on blackboards. So, you'll know the signatures are authentic because we saw them signing in.Freeze frame and photoshop--lol

Not only that a person can use photoshop to transfer the signature from one picture to another.Suppose I wanted the autograph to start out "To Stanley"  I look through the pictures and I may get lucky and print that one out.(One made out to a different Stanley)

If not, I look for indivual letters for example there may be one with "To Sandy" so the letters S,a,n, and y are there. All I need now are the letters t,l,e and y. Oh wait! here is an autograph picture made out "To Hayley"  okay that takes care of the l,e and y letters.All I need now is the t.The idea here is to keep true to the star's handwriting.Also remember the spacing and length of the star's autograph.

Using photoshop I would take the individual letters and edit them to say "To Stanley"and paste that on an all ready signed picture. For a 8 x 10 the best resolution is 300 dpi (dots per square inch).Print it out, frame it and hang it on a wall.

I usually make transparencies out of the autographed signatures, unless the picture I am tranferring it to has the same color background. Think of a tranparency as a cartoon cel ( transparent sheets of plastic).

Warning : Use them for your own personal use only. Do not sell them or give them away which I believe is nothing to worry about since almost everyone has computers and they'll be making their own anyway if they wanted.

As for the PSA/DNA I would just keep your money, To me, the only way to tell if an autograph is authentic is seeing the person signing it and maybe make a video of the signing but videos can be faked as well.

Below is a fictional story--lol

Every Sunday when a celebrity signs the blackboard I sneak in and steal it but I do replace them with a blank blackboards I previous bought. Maybe it is easier just ask the celebrities for their autographs.

Anyway below is a picture of  12 autographed blackboards I have had stolen--shh!  and they are all laminated in clear plastic to prevent erasing.I have recently 350 of them, so much so that I needed a extra room for them.Once the statute of limitations wears off each one will be worth top dollar,but they're not for sell; I'm keeping them. :P

Yep, I have been a very busy man--lol
end.
