Memorabilia 4u | Autographs and Signed Memorabilia

About memorabilia4u

This web site has been created to give my potential customers a chance to view items before making a purchase, should you require a higher resolution photo of any item please do not hesitate to contact me.

I have been collecting autographs for many years now and I still remember the first item I collected, it was a signed album by Slade (play it loud) some thirty odd years ago!

The items for sale on my website have been obtained by myself at signings, fairs, premiers, award ceremonies , theatres or by representatives on my behalf.

This site is primarily a list of some of my memorabilia that I have on offer at the moment. Should you not find an item that you are particularly looking for please contact me in the first instance as I may have a suitable item in stock that is not listed on the website.

A lot of the items you will find on this site are not simply a signature on a bit of card or photo: Some are framed and mounted with other material and/or photos to further enhance the impact of the memento.

All autographs and related items come with a lifetime guarantee of authenticity as laid down by the UACC (www.uacc.org)

My Guarantee

Your first priority in collecting autographs should always be the authenticity.

Anyone can lift a pen and sign "John Lennon" or "Albert Einstein". Anyone can trace a 'real' signature. You could even scan one into a computer and super-impose it onto a photo.

Fake memorabilia is a trap that every collector seeks to avoid.

Most of the memorabilia seen and sold from this site have been collected from the celebrities either personally or by agents acting on my behalf.

A small step from collecting to trading; there is only so much wall space that you can devote to it! Seeking celebrities at conventions, premiers, signings, parties and the occasional chance meeting has provided me with a wealth of mementos. At these events, you not only meet the celebrities, but you also get to meet similar collectors. From these meetings, I have gained some good friends and some agents who collect memorabilia on my behalf.

All items carry a personal, lifetime, money-back guarantee that they are genuine.

If you ever have doubt that an item purchased through me is not a true signing from the celebrity, then I am more than willing to offer a full refund on it's return. The majority of the memorabilia sold is framed and mounted for display; if you are not completely satisfied with the item, then it should be packaged appropriately and returned to me for a full refund within 7 days.

Registered Dealer of the Universal Autograph Collectors Club (Barry Brooks, R.D No. 292)

Founded in 1965, the UACC is the oldest and most reputable club of it's kind in the world. It is run by collectors, for collectors.

All members of this organisation are sworn to only trade in genuine autographs. There is a strict code of ethics and rules that govern membership and monitor the practices of members.

I am proud to have been a member for many years.

You need to make sure that the signature is genuine.

There are only three possible ways to satisfy yourself that an item of memorabilia has a genuine signature.

1. Have the celebrity sign it in front of you.
2. Research the celebrity & their signing history, analyse the penmanship & ink and the material signed.
3. Buy through a trusted dealer.

Most people seldom get the chance to meet & greet celebrities, and very few have the knowledge & experience to tell a good fake from the real thing.

So how do you know who is a trusted dealer?

The majority will be members of the UACC (see below) and offer full money back guarantees if any item(s) sold by them are doubted.

Unfortunately there are too many unscrupulous dealers and items out there - if you are unsure, then simply do not buy.

I personally go with the first option as often as I can - this involves a lot of traveling, a lot of waiting and a lot of standing in queues. The end result however is a unique item of memorabilia that I have watched being signed and can guarantee is 100% genuine.
