The Kollectors Club |
This new website has also been bought to our attention. Once again we do not know who is behind it, but it has been suggested that it could be the front for a former ebay seller. The site appears to be based abroad, and if you look at the cost of the items being offered, we leave you to make up your mind as to the real value of these items i.e.. Bob Dylan at £89.95 including free postage to anywhere in the world. Perhaps we should tell this poor man that a real Bob Dylan would fetch at least £500 at any genuine auction anywhere in the world, and that he would be far better off trying to sell it via auction than via his website, as he would make so much more money, or would he? You decide!

Tom Smith - Signatorium |
It is with deep regret that we have to announce the passing of Tom Smith of Signatorium. Tom was taken ill a short while ago and passed away in Hospital in Cyprus.
Tom, a native of Grimsby although based in Cyprus for work reasons, was known to many in the autograph world, and was a keen supporter of AFTAL and held very strong views regarding forgers and fraudsters, who he was prepared to chase and expose as he felt fit.
Tom left a wife and 4 children and will be sadly missed by many in the autograph world. |
