Dubbed “King of Autographs” by Chris Evans after Garry appeared on his Drive Time radio show, Garry offers a ‘Quick Opinion’ service via the website and email for almost any signature. Garry has been offering autograph authentication services to both the collector and trade for over 20 years, and was the first person to offer such services in the UK.

There are many similar sites on the web, all claiming to have expert knowledge and years of experience. But Garry is the only one whose name you will find within reports on autograph related court cases as he has worked with the Police and Trading Standards on many cases and has proven and verifiable experience within the autograph industry.

• Do they have FULL verifiable contact details on their sites? No business details? then simply avoid them.
• Do they tell you exactly who they are? No? then why would you trust them?.
• Do they give you factual examples of their experience? No? then they likely don’t have any!
• In short, can you trust them or will they simply take your money and tell you what you want to hear? 

Garry is is very well known amongst collectors and dealers here and abroad, both on and off the web. Garry has also attended all the relevant UACC courses, plus an appraisal course to USPAP standards in the USA, as well as creating and running an autograph course for dealers and collectors here in the UK.

Garry was voted UACC dealer of the year in 2000,  was also given the Presidents Quality award in 2006, and was voted AFTAL Dealer of the year by its members in 2011 (the UACC website is currently being updated). He is a UACC Registered Dealer (RD179), as well as a founding partner in this Collector Approved site.

Garry’s help and expert advice has been sought by dealers, auctioneers and collectors as well as the Police and Trading standards, with regard to autograph fakes and forgeries. Garry has also been successful in helping to obtain refunds for many of those who have bought non authentic items either via the internet or a high street shop and is one of only a very small number of autograph specialists whose expert testimony has been used to convict forgers. The most recent cases resulted in a conviction and 21 months prison sentence for one and almost 6 years for another!

Garry finished filming his first edition of ‘Fake Britain’ with Dominic Littlewood, which was aired in 2011, and this has now been aired on many more occasions since. He has also appeared in 2 editions of  ‘Inside Out’  ‘The One Show’  ‘The Real Hustle’  ‘Fake Britain’ and many regional news programmes. Garry has also now filmed two more editions of ‘Fake Britain’ and has also filmed pieces for ‘Pawn Stars UK’ ‘Posh Pawnbrokers’ and ‘Posh Pawn’ and most recently the ‘Expert Witness’ series, as well as advising on various other BBC and ITV shows with regard to autograph values and authenticity etc.
