Autographs need to be authenticated for your safety as well as the buyer's safety.

Fake autographs are dangerous

The world of philography or the collecting of famous autographs is a wonderful hobby for it is a part of history never to be duplicated and reproduced, but there is a lot to learn first about it. Whether you collect stamps or anything else you've got to read up about it and research it thoroughly. When you have done your research you can confidently sell your autographs with security and confidence. I found a guide online to authentication of autographs, http://www.autographworld.com/sigs/about.asp . There are books in the library for the novice collector and for all the hobby enthusiasts of philography. Collectibles are a gamble too. We had a family grocery store and we thought Jim Beam collectibles would be a great investment. Thus there is an element of mystery about collectibles that sometimes you win and sometimes you just took a gamble!

Pilography history began in the the 16TH century when in Germany students collected autographs as they traveled. 17TH century many students began requesting signatures of faculty and their friends at religious schools today known as yearbook signing. During the 18TH century it became popular to collect famous peoples autograph. In 1970s interest in the entertainment industries people autograph began to peak interest. In 1980s autograph collecting or philography became a hit and it's big business today.

Some autograph club: (As with most things please check with the bbb.org online or in your white pages of your phone book.)

One very famous autograph club that charges a fee is the Universal Autograph Collecting Club, UACC information: http://www.http//uacc.org/.
International Autograph Dealer Alliance and Collector Club, IADA-CC.com is where you can get connected to professional dealers.

At HistoryForSale.com I found some interesting prices our former Presidents autograph items can fetch:

President George Washington: $69,000.00
President Thomas Jefferson from $99.00 - $120,000.00
President Theodore Roosevelt $1,499.00 - $39,999.00
President Abraham Lincoln $150.00 - $44,999.00

If you wrote to a former President and tucked the letter away in your scrapbook it could be worth something today. When you need liquid assets autographs can be something to fall back on.

If you were a concert fan you could have in your attic a valuable piece of history like an autograph album of the band you went to hear. The Beatles Band autographs can fetch $350.00 - $49,999.00. All prices was taken from 4/28/2010 and good only for that day. The love of philography for hobby or profit is fun. You may have in your possession something very valuable if old. Your family heirloom passed down from generation to generation could be worth lots of money as seen on PBS Antique Roadshow: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/index.html.
