Dan + Shay Autograph Uproar Separates Fans From Frauds

Dan + Shay are speaking out through an open letter to fans about getting ripped off buying their autographs online. They've even offered to make things right by you, if you feel you've been ripped off by someone when buying their autograph online. They want to personally invite you to a meet and greet or send you something autographed.

First let me say it's nice Dan + Shay even care enough to do something like this for their fans. Second, if you don't buy from these "people" there is no market for this type of thing.

Now you're thinking to yourself, "I can't always get the autograph of one of my favorite stars." For example, Rik bought Michele an autographed photo of actor Alexander Skarsgard. He made sure it was authentic and paid a pretty penny for the silver Sharpie-signed pic. There was no way he would ever get an Alexander Skarsgard autograph in person.

Same thing goes for my favorite WWE Superstars. I've been blessed to have met some of my favorite stars, including Goldust. I have a few items with Goldust's autograph, and not a one of them will ever be for sale. My future wife Kristina knows that if something ever happens to me, there are certain things she can't sell. Goldust's autograph is one of them. In fact, none of my autographed WWE items are for sale.

I think the whole point Dan and Shay are trying to make is don't get ripped off from someone who's not a fan and just trying to make money off of their autograph. Stars like to give autographs to fans who support them, i.e. buy their music and merchandise. Fans who truly admire what they do. Real fans, not celebrity collectors. Trust me, they are out there.

What's the coolest autograph you've ever gotten?
