I have a shitload of mma autographs most of which i got in person...i'm done buying autopraphs from ebay...to many scammers
i recently contacted a seller about a dan henderson autographed poster...i told her "no offense but i have been scammed before and i always verify autographs" and I asked her if she could tell me when and where she obtained the "in person" autograph
she avoided the question and after several emails she writes that it was obtained at a "HB OTM booth within the last month"
lmao...not only does the pic of dan she provided not match OTM shop in HB...but the only autograph event at HB OTM was 9/23 and I was there for most the day
they were giving away dan henderson posters but they were not autographed and dan was nowhere to be found. I even called OTM just to make sure that Dan was not somewhere in the back room out of site.
it just amazes me the number of scamming scumbags there are in the world
I've been picking up some of the full size posters sold at the weigh-ins that are autographed by the whole card. Buying direct from the source is a good way to ensure the sig's are authentic. Aside from the above, I only buy signed items from people I've dealt with personally.
Jeremiah - I sent you the tracking number for that shipment but never heard back from you - did you check into it? It says there was a problem with the address and there's a number to call to arrange delivery. Your email address is bouncing back to me, so drop me an email when you get the chance.
TJ - Still no money order, have you sent it?
Yuma - Email was sent on that item, nothing back yet.
I have been getting some really sweet shit done lately, actually. Lots o new shit. My walls are filling rapidly. Plus, I lost part of my showroom to my daughter's turtles. But, that is another story. Every time they poop, I think of Arias. Is that wrong?

question for you cam...or anyone that has inside info on how the ufc operates...how can i buy direct from the source???
to be sure i get actual autographs...i usually buy a poster and then get it signed myself by the fighters pictured
there are some events however that i would like to buy posters autographed by the entire card
the weigh ins i attended they were selling posters but not autographed posters...they said only at the actual event but not the weigh ins
other than going to the event...how can i get my hands on these without paying 200-300 on ebay
also...i have been told by sellers that they wait until after the weigh ins to get access to the fighters participating...does the ufc grant access to certain sellers for private autograph sessions after the weigh ins?
There are guys on here that go to every event and could provide the answers you're looking for.
From what I understand the autographed posters are sold by the UFC at the weigh-ins, and as they are normally limited to 100 (sometimes 50), they sell out quickly and as such are not available at the actual event.
When I say I buy direct from the source, that's not entirely accurate. I have a couple guys I know and trust, and they've been nice enough to pick one up for me when they attend the weigh-ins. The signed posters sell for $100 at the event, and sometimes you can pick them up on Ebay for $150, which isn't too bad.
Anyway, I'm sure some of the regulars can add more to this...
